It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It is hardly Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, but come on.A pile of actors on autopilot, churning out some great, violent, funny entertainment.It is good, I enjoyed it. If you half-way like Tarantino, you'll likely enjoy this.

Inglorious Basterds is one of my all time favorite movies, right up there with Pulp Fiction and The Godfather. It is brilliantly written, directed, and acted (Christoph Waltz and Melanie Laurent are incredible.) All the main characters have depth and their true manipulations don't fully come to light until the climax. Language barriers play a major part in this film with French, German and English all spoken regularly throughout the film, and Tarantino's decision to change history will always be remembered for years and years to come.

This movie is really good and I like the concept of it. There's good action scenes with a lot of blood a violence. The only problem I have with the movie is 70% of the movie is non-stop talking so if you don't like that kinda stuff, this movie is not for you.

SPOILER:I was not a bit surprised by the rating of this movie. It's a Brad Pitt movie and who doesn't like Brad Pitt. He has been known to make a pretty good action movie and is a top-rated actor. That being said, this movie is not for the faint of heart and is not one I would let my children watch. This movie has a great deal of bloodshed and action, with a ton of foul language. This is combined with plenty of gross scenes. In which I found myself looking away several times as I was utterly grossed out. That being said, I did enjoy the story-line, as it flowed very well. There are also several historical references and historical characters mentioned in the movie. Many are not entirely accurate but close enough for anyone who is a bit of a history buff. The movie does take place in Nazi-occupied France during WWII, where a team called the basterds was tasked with eliminating the Nazi's. However, their leader takes it step further by requesting 100 Nazi scalps from each of his men. The men then receive news that there is going to be a movie premiere in which all of the top Nazi officials will be attending. As a bonus, Hitler will be there as well. They begin to lay out their mission to take down the regime with the help of a double agent. They are unaware that there is a third party who is also interested in killing all of these top Nazi officials. The editing of the movie jumps back and forth and is not very smooth. I suspect that this was intentional. Since the film was depicted as a book by showing chapter's in-between some of the scenes.The special effects were great despite being gross, and they were very realistic. Especially during the scalping scenes. Those scenes caused me to look away. Even though I was grossed out by many of the scalping and beating scenes, I still found myself captivated by the movie. The movie ending is, of course, wholly fictional but entertaining nonetheless. It would have been great if the war did end with Hitler being killed by American troops in public rather than committing suicide hidden away in a bunker. It is a great action flick, and I do recommend it to anyone who can stomach all of the gore and foul language.
