A Mediocre Period Drama

Rating: 3/10 (2 September 2009)

A Mediocre Period Drama That is Inglourious Basterds , lets not look at the movie as a critics\reviewers point of view and look at it as the audience , you get to know the story from a friend , you check out the trailer on youtube and are all exited for the movie because what you are sold from the trailer is that it is a quentin Tarantino action flick or worse come it is a thriller movie which has brad pitt on it and that fact is highly marketed , when you see the movie you realize that this is just a drama flick with a poor script , now I saw poor script because there is just loads of dialogue for expressing a simple emotion or situation which is not needed to build the tension because it already is built from the premise of the movie , now that is something not expected from an action flick or even to say a thriller , brad pitt is only in the 20% of the movie so howcome is he marketed as the main character , look at the posters , now when any movie is made it will by default fall under a specific category or many categories but this movie only falls into the drama category and there have been better drama movies than this , if you say its about the nazi's and that makes it different then tom cruise's Valkyrie was way better than this , just the crux of the story cannot make the whole movie appealing because it takes a strong script and great direction or shall I say directors vision for what he wants his baby to be where quentin Tarantino fails or it might all be a product of false marketing trying to sell the movie on the base of brad pitt and action where neither of the two are visible , not at all a masterpiece , I wonder what were all the critics thinking when they reviewed the movie giving it good ratings
