Inglorious Pulp

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2009)

The opening scene was less classic than in Once Upon a Time in the West, The shooting of Jews in hiding less credible than in Blackbook, Melanie's escape seen less moving than in The Little House on the Prairie, Hitler portrayed even more of a caricature than in To Be or Not to Be (and that was a satire), Daniel less lovable than in Goodbye Lenin! (but we forgive him), The accents less authentic than in 'Allo, 'Allo (and 'Allo 'Allo, including the pointless violence in that series much more fun), the plot pace less than well, any other QT movie, the violence less effective than in Reservoir Dogs (or any other WWII movie) and useless for that, Melanie's dress less glamorous than Nicole's in Moulin Rouge, the Revenge theme less well spelled out than in Kill Bill, the acting less splendid than in Le Dernier Metro, the burning of the cinema less awesome than in Cinema Paradiso; and Brad Pitt, well, was Brad Pitt (yawn). Melanie Laurent was worth every second of her screen time.
So sorry to disagree w/y'all, but yawn - yawn - yawn.
