An Entertaining Yarn of What Should Have Happened

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2009)

Well now we all know Tarantino, his good films, his brilliant ones, and then his not so on target ones but Inglorious Basterds is between good and brilliant. Gory, brutal, gritty, sense shredding, but what this film really does is say; this is how World War 2 and the Nazis SHOULD have ended at least in the eyes of Quentin Tarantino. Personally I think Tarantino got it just right, it should have been the way it all ended if only for history to be different.
Now regarding the acting, top notch cast. Brad Pitt actually is good in this, not his handsome celebrity who does not look the part of a disgruntled Jewish-American soldier angry at the Germans and looking for revenge. He does this perfectly, and so you look forward to every time he graces the screen unlike some of his other works. The rest of the cast is brilliant especially Christoph Waltz who is just as captivating as Pitt in this film as the evil SS colonel who everyone is gunning for almost as much as Hitler himself, well there were those just as bad who helped him and either got away with it or just disappeared.
All in all worth the fare price I paid, and I would pay it again to see it once more. Great cast, great action, great drama too. See it, you will not regret it.
