Not Quentin Tarantino at his best.

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2009)

Our story begins in World War 2, where Lt. Aldo Raine(Brad Pitt), puts a group a Jewish soldiers together, who are called Inglourious Basterds, there mission is to hunt and scalp Nazis at all cost. They have a plan to into Germany. But another story comes into play with Shosanna(Melanie Laurent) a Jew disguised as a french, who escaped the Nazis years earlier, in which her family was slaughtered by the Nazis. Who now runs a movie theater, and is ploting her own revenge.
Now Pulp Fiction(1994), and Kill Bill vol 1 and 2(2003-2004) are what I considered to be masterpieces. But Inglourious Basterds is not in that category, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Most of the character don't really grab any interest, Tarantino does not across with interesting dialog with any of the characters, except in the beginning, but it goes away after that. And Eli Roth is clearly no actor, he just doesn't do much. And Brad Pitt wears himself out fast. Now it did have some good shoot out scenes. And it also had a great setting. But after it got to be boring, where one scene, i nearly dosed off. But I did like Melanie Laurent, who becomes the only interest through out the whole film. Not Tarantinos best work, but not his worst, but it could have been better.
