One of Quentin Tarantino's very best

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2009)

Even though Inglorious Basterds is not as good as Pulp Fiction, without a doubt it's one of Tarantino's very best. Quality wise it ranks near the top of his directing filmography. The biggest problem I have with the film is that it sometimes gets bogged down with self-indulgent dialogue that seems to cause the movie to drag. Other than this the movie works well and comes together perfectly in the end. Cristoph Waltz, in a breakout performance, is incredible as "The Jew Hunter" Colonel Hans Landa. Brad Pitt is just having fun with his role, not taking it too seriously. An absolutely fantastic effort from Quentin Tarantino. Immensely entertaining and engaging.
