Review of Inglourious Basterds (2009) by Petern — 23 Aug 2009

I have just arrived home from watching Inglourious Basterds, and I have to say that it was a total disappointment. The movie had all of the ingredients too be something special. the performances were good, the cinematography was good.

But I have to say the directing let what could have been an excellent movie spiral out of control into, into a mishmash of different genres and the whole things starts too look ridiculous. What had worked for Tarantino in the past seems too be old hat these days, and unless he can come up with something new I think his day has passed.

I am a fan of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, but this movie looked like Quentin managed too actually get down on film the exact feeling that we all have when we have so much going on in our minds we find it hard too explain or put down on paper, Quentin has however managed this and the result is that feeling of so many confused ideas actually all making it to screen.

Hopefully Quentin can find something new in his bag of tricks otherwise I feel it might be time for him too hang up his hat.
