During World War II, a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by Lt. Aldo Raine, known as 'The Basterds,' are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish woman who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers. A plot is set in motion to kill the Nazis at the theater's movie premiere, including Adolf Hitler.

"A big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he's (Tarantino) the real thing, a director of quixotic delights."--Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"May be the most fun you'll have at the movies this summer."--New York Post

"A violent fairy tale, an increasingly entertaining fantasia in which the history of World War II is wildly reimagined..."--Variety

MPAA rating: R.

If it hadn't been for some great acting performances (not Brad Pitt) I would have never sat through this entire movie. Christopher Waltz was incredible in this film and the rest of the performances, with one exception, were a close second to Mr. Waltz. And those performances is what makes this movie worth watching. With all due respect to nerds everywhere, a fifth grade nerd with no acting experience could have done a better job acting in this movie than Brad Pitt. He was nothing short of horrible in this film which surprised me because he is otherwise a fine actor. Watching Mr. Pitt in this film I found myself repeatedly asking "is this some kind of joke". Unfortunately it was not. What was Mr. Tarantino thinking?

I was going to write an in-depth and hopefully witty review of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, but seeing as there are more than 500 reviews already that have probably covered everything a potential viewer would want to know, let me just say this: <br /> <br />It's darn near as perfect and dazzling a movie as you're going to find. <br /> <br />Well, that's that, then. On to my review of hummingbird feeders...

Tarantino hits a very raw but fun-starved nerve. I recently had a spate of disappointing viewings (The Spirit, The New Karate Kid) and was not looking forward to this movie being anymore than chewing gum for the brain. I'm glad I was wrong. <br /> <br />Tarantino brings back the old spaghetti westerns but set towards the end of the Second World War. Anybody who grew up on Kelly's Heroes, the Dirty Dozen and spaghetti westerns understand the realm of seriously flawed but adorable heroes. <br /> <br />Everyone was expecting the great American ending when all we get is a big bang heroes fantasy. Its just not-so-good guys versus really bad guys. Its funny in all the unexpected places. Its like a new journey on a familiar road. No tormented good guys just people who would normally be locked-up now wearing the shoes of would-be-saviors. <br /> <br />The dialogue was just amazing.Good thing about DVD is you can rewind it. Every actor was perfect in their place. And that Landa character:the last time evil looked this charming was when it was Hannibal Lecter. <br /> <br />Tarantino takes the top spot from Scorsese on my list on this one. <br />

One star in one star too many for this sick product of a sick mind of what is becoming a sick industry in Hollywood. I could go up the ladder, but I'll stop here for the purpose of this review. In fact there's nothing to review. This movie amounts to nothing, artistically or in any other way. It is a revenge fantasy that comes 65 years too late, so I am at a loss to find the motivation behind this movie. I feel sorry for those young minds who are exposed to this garbage and even more so to see some expressing appreciation. Just glad I live in a different country and a different culture.

I liked the movie "Inglourious Basterds," which is a humorous and violent retelling of World War II history. The film branches off into several interconnected storylines, all of which are fantastic and interesting. The cast is fantastic and the story itself is a good one, but I thought the movie was a bit too long and was very anticlimactic at the end. I'm glad I didn't see this in the theatres because I would have been disappointed, but it's worth checking out on cable or DVD.
