I'm not a Tarantino fan.... but I liked it!

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2011)

I have never been a Quentin Tarantino fan. That is why I watched Inglourious Basterds after it had been recommended to me more than once. I have to admit I did not hate it altogether; actually, I found Tarantino's comic-like style really enjoyable this time. Tarantino's camera shots are amazing as usual – can't deny that! Moreover, this movie is different from his previous 'rogue' movies because it is based on historical events and real rogues. Plus, I like stories that mess around with history, reshaping and rewriting it, producing another perspective of what could have happened.
As for the performance I guess Tarantino knew how to bring the best in all his cast apart from Brad Pitt who I think flunked dramatically as Lieutenant Aldo Raine. As I said, all did a great job but some managed to really stand out; those include Til Schweiger (Sergeant Hugo Stiglitz) and Christoph Waltz (Colonel Hans Landa), especially the latter who literally blew my mind away with his topnotch witty and spontaneous performance!
