Avoid at all costs , 22 August 2009

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Starring: Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Certificate:
It has to be said, I went into the cinema with high hopes for this film. Although I have yet to see a Tarantino I actually enjoyed, I can see why films such as Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction have such a widespread fanbase. Inglorious Basterds, on the other hand, is a pitiful attempt of a director to put as much action and 'thought provoking' diologue into a film as possible, regardless to what effect it would have to the storyline. The storylines themself are woeful; true, the cinema-owning Jew who meets the Jew Hunter who killed her family is quite a good twist, however, it is not used to its full advantage. Instead, too much time is spent with Brad Pitt's character, who has no depth and who's only highlight comes when trying to pull off an Italian accent. Enough said, really.
What really made this film the disaster that it was was the ending. Not just the fact that history was rewritten in such a blunt and idiotic way, but that we watched as a cinema full of Nazis watched the brutal murder of many men on screen; we were meant to feel horror, disgust. Straight after this, the cinema is set alight, and we are forced to watch the same brutality ourselves.
Overall, this film is an unnecessary portrayal of WW2, that should be avoided at all costs. Its only saving grace was the portrayal of the 'Jew Hunter' played by Christoph Waltz, and Mélanie Laurent's performance as the cinema owning Jew, who risks everything for justice for her family. 20 out of 21 people found this review helpful
