Tarantino is past his peak

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2010)

Inglourious Basterds is not a bad film. But it also isn't a masterpiece, but that is what you'd expect if you go to see a Tarantino movie. I have to say, that Tarantino is now past his peak. He made excellent movies in the 90's, masterpieces like Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown and with Pulp Fiction leading in the way. But that is over now. Death Proof wasn't already as good as his older films, and the first twenty minutes, the scene that plays in the farmers shack, is the best thing throughout the whole movie. From that point on this movie is nothing special at all. I even got bored sometimes, when I walked out of the cinema, I was disappointed.
