Inglorious Basterds Movie




I got suckered in by the previews on TV
and at the movies and paid good money to
see it... I regret it!! I have never liked a
movie directed by Quinten Tarentino. I
am still trying to figure out what the hell
'Pulp Fiction' was all about.
Inglorious Basterds (sic) is about a
band of American soldiers led by Lt.
Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), whose sole reason
for being in World War II is to kill Nazi
soldiers. It is almost a copy of 'Dirty
Dozen' but without the good storyline.
As this group of killers travel through
occupied Europe, they discover that a movie
house is going to be filled with Nazi hierarchy
and they plan to blow up the theater with
everyone inside. The plot comes apart and so
does the movie. One bright spot was the
performance of Christoph Waltz, who plays
the part of German SS Colonel Hans Landa.
Waltz was named winner of the Golden Globe
at the Cannes Film Festival for this role. The
costumes and vehicles all look the part, but
the story needs a lot of work. Save your
money,....or better yet...go see Avatar a
second time..
