Better than Pulp Fiction

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2009)

As an introduction I'll mention the fact that I've seen and rated more than 300 movies, most in the toplists here, and as of August 2009 Inglourious Basterds is one of my five 10s.
I saw it yesterday on the big-screen and I was astonished! I really had high expectations as I had read it resembled the earlier Tarantino movies (Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs). The quality of the dialogue and the complexity of the plot were really Tarantino but unlike his other work Inglourious Basterds is dynamic and thrilling during all of its 150 minutes - one can feel the pressure even during the "Royale with cheese" type dialogues. I also noted QT's development when it comes to film music - the soundtrack is really incredible even if it doesn't consist of good old rock'n'roll tracks; it really touches your heart.Here I should also say that the movie isn't and does not pretend to be historically accurate - as Tarantino stated "...it's a spaghetti western set during the WWII".
Obligatory for Leone, Tarantino and Guy Ritchie fans, recommended for anyone above 10. Dynamic, clever, touching and brutal - I guess this just might be his masterpiece!
