Better if it had been shorter

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2009)

Entering this film I was expecting a gore-fest similar to that of Kill Bill. Happily, my expectations weren't fulfilled this time. I thought the film decent overall with some good sections of witty dialogue and prose. There were some funny instances with the Basterd team as well which I enjoyed watching but I still found that the last third of the film dragged on and wasn't as good as the first two-thirds. The ending to me was also a letdown since there was so much build up for it and then in a minor instant it was all over.
I was surprised at how few scenes Brad Pitt actually had - since he was billed as the starring actor. The actor whom played the German Colonel I thought did a fantastic job overall and would be happy in seeing him in more films.
Perhaps multiple watchings of this film would be required to get a better appreciation but for now I would only cautiously recommend the film to most others.
