Description
In Nazi occupied France, young Jewish refugee Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the slaughter of her family by Colonel Hans Landa. Narrowly escaping together with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller takes a rapid interest in her and arranges an illustrious movie premiere at the theater she now runs. Together with the promise of each key Nazi officer in attendance, the event catches the attention of the "Basterds", a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine. As the relentless executioners advance and the conspiring young girl's plans are set in motion, their paths will cross for a fateful evening this will shake the very annals of history.

Inglorious Movie, Great Performances   2010-09-01
By FMC (VA)
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?
Just about perfection   2010-08-28
By A. Cooper (Texas)
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: It's darn near as perfect and dazzling a movie as you're going to find. Well, that's that, then. On to my review of hummingbird feeders...
Artfully Silly, Pure Fantasy, A Masterpiece in Cinematic Folly   2010-08-27
By Maria Eloisa Dungo (Cambodia)
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. 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. 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. 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. Tarantino takes the top spot from Scorsese on my list on this one.
Product of an inglorious mind   2010-08-26
By Tudor (Toronto, Canada)
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.
Fizzles out at the end   2010-08-21
By Melissa Niksic (Chicago, IL United States)
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.
