Inglourious Basterds




Rotten Tomatoes -88%

Some positive comments -
Simply Tarantino's best. A very intelligent script that combines war movie elements with some pointed observations about violence in movies and in society.
Tarantino's visual style and flare for the fantasy make for an intriguing and colorful World War II drama.
This is filmmaking at its bravest, and whether Tarantino is a genius or a fool, he does nothing by accident.

Some negative comments -
It's these fine sequences that can make you truly regret Tarantino's snarky, in-joke impulses, not to mention his arrogant -- perhaps even dangerous -- lack of concern with the story's moral dimensions.
Its biggest flaw, though, for those who care about such things, may be its moral attitude. That might seem a stodgy thing to bring up in the context of a Quentin Tarantino movie, but it takes such center stage that it needs to be examined.
One basterd of a movie... Who wants to hear Quentin Tarantino dialogue in a foreign language, thus having to read it?
