Batter UP

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2009)

Ohh Yeah this was good fun. Quentin did a good job with this movie. The story line was brilliant, acting from everyone was outstanding and some of them in multiple languages. One of the best things about Tarantinos movies is that the BAD guys have fantastic roles that inspire great actors to perform splendid. This movie had lots of good old violence, but of courseit is a Tarantino movie after all. It had a couple of the Tarantino trademarks, which a true fan will appreciate, like side clips showing characters origin and on-screen labeling of person, places or things. The film has a beautifully rich color and outstanding cinematography, why can't more films look like this! Movie was almost 3 hoursbut only dragged at small points. I do not want to discuss the plot to much because I do not want to give it away.
Yes it has violence and foul languageso do not take your kids.
Plenty of bloody violence, plenty of witty dialogue, plenty of interesting characters.
The only negatives are some scenes drag on a bit and some more action scenes would have been appreciated. I would have liked to see a little more batting practice.
Not as good as Pulp Fiction but better than Deathproof. I give it a solid 8 out of 10. Will watch it again on the big screen then snatch up the DVD. I hope the DVD has some extra scenes.
