Good head smashing fun ...

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2009)

* * SPOILERS * * Great movie.
When the basterds decide to smash the head of the uncooperative nazi officer I was worried that the first hit would render him unconscious but no. He started screaming when the bear jew started his work with a nail studded baseball bat. Judging from the audiences response this was Tarantino's crowd pleaser.
My only complaint was that there were not enough scenes w/the basterd's exploits, too much overlong dialog. The finale was great when the basterds and Shoshanna trapped a whole bunch of nazi's in a movie theater and burned / exploded it. This was a badly needed reprise of the basement scene of the dirty dozen. Those animals were actually cheering when they were watching Americans being killed in Italy, now it was their turn.
The last scene was priceless when Aldo ordered the shooting and scalping of Landa's driver. The look on his nazi face was astonishing, 'the war is over and I am only a flunky'. He got what he deserved, good job Tarantino!
Great job Tarantino.
