Well friends, it was one of those movies that I went into expecting some freaking violence and chaos and ultimately left the movies feeling a bit bummed out.
The film's cast first off is terrific in this movie as each character we are introduced to plays a vital role for the most part in the film's story, which of course takes two and a half hours to tell but we'll get to that later. The stars of the film of course are Brad Pitt and Eli Roth who ultimately steal every scene they are in. The two work well together and are quiet convincing as these soldiers and often throw some good one liners back and forth with eachother as well.
But where the two of them succeeds the film falls a bit short and here's why. For being as hyped as this movie was with a tagline stating- You haven't seen war until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino, the film lacks violence and the action I was craving to see.
Sure there are some scenes that live up to those expectations but the film just goes on and on and at times leaves you wanting to just leave yourself. There is too much dialogue in this movie and not enough action and it's kind of depressing. The film's plot just takes way too long to unfold and I think it could of been better condensed and we could of used more action thrown in at the same time.
Aside from Pitt who I think gives an incredible performance the movie just moves too slow for me and I think others will agree with me. Tarantino is hailed as a master film maker but I'm just not ultimately convinced.
The story and plot take too long to unfold and by the end you can almost predict how it's going to end. And that's not how I like my movies.
The story overall however is a good one but it could of been shorter.
TK's rating of Inglorious Basterds- 3/5 stars
