Inglourious Basterds (2009) by Quentin Tarantino – (5/10)

I feel like “Inglourious Basterds” was massively overrated because the audiences have been desperatly wanting to love a Tarantino movie as much as they had loved Pulp Fiction but up until “Inglourious Basterds” he hadn’t been giving the masses anything that they could worship to that extent.

It is a cool movie, it has a nice feel to it, the characters are great, the acting is wonderful (obligatory mention of Christoph Waltz and Brad Pitt just because I like him that much, he is not necessary that much better than anyone else in the movie) and the movie had a golden era Hollywood look and feel to it. It is a really cool movie but it didn’t have much substance or meaning. Except for the cool part, I immediately forgot most of it after watching, thus creating the illusion that it was actually better than it really was. It is a fun movie to watch but it is not the grand artistic statement or the coolest thing ever that everyone is pretending that it is.
