Inglorious Basterds : Beat Down Reviews

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2010)

I was extremely excited about watching this film as it was by Quentin Tarantino . And everyone knows that you cannot go wrong with a Tarantino flick. So without further ado let's get on with the review.
Firstly the main story is about a group of Jewish American Nazi hunters, known as the Basterds . Led by Lieutenant Aldo Rein(Brad Pitt) along with his band of ruthless men played by (Eli Roth) and (Til Schweiger) just to name a few. But the story expands far beyond that. There are quite a few subplots to the movie just take the opening sequence for example.
The writing is one of the many things in this movie that keeps it both fun and suspenseful . The German and French dialogue makes this film a must watch. Added with it the superb directing of Quentin Tarantino . His choice of not using music at some of the scenes was a wise choice. It just adds to the atmosphere. Let's face it . Quentin's vision of the war is the best we have seen yet.
Acting wise, it is brilliant especially Christoph Waltz's as he manages to speak German French and English all while managing to act casual and keeping cool as an evil Nazi. And Brad Pitt's acting is also good but sometimes over the top, but in a good way. Although I must say that Eli Roth was a bit under used. I mean we get to see him for quite a while but he does not have much to say
So all I can say is that Quentin's vision is both daring and terrific at the same time. It's sad that he did not win any awards . Although kudos to Christoph Waltz for excellent performance . His golden globe and academy awards were undoubtebly just and deserving . As his character manages to amaze us and anger us at the same time.
All in all I have to admit that this film is Quentin's best yet. Come to think of it Quentin Tarantino does not make any bad movies at all.
