    INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - WUNDERBAR!!! Rating: 93 out of 100. (Based on advance VIP press preview)

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    IG - screenwritten/directed by Quentin Tarantino - is a 2.5hr war-fantasy movie set in an alternate history WWII.

    This engaging mesmerizing movie stars Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth, Melanie Kruger, Tilman Valentin Schweiger, Michael Fassbender, Gedeon Burkhard, B.J. Novak - a EXCELLENT cast!

    I was captivated by the direction and especially by the characters that were cheesily caricatured.
    The lines spoken by the characters were at times hilariously humorous but instantly identifiable as coming from Quentin Tarantino.
    Mike Myers also had a part in the movie - he was almost unrecognizable under heavy make-up.

    The best performance has to go to Christoph Waltz for his Oscar-worthy portrayal of the 'Jew Hunter' - the diabolical polite yet sinister Standartenführer Hans Landa.

    I have to say that IG is the best movie that I've seen all year so far. I will definitely watch it again.

    VERDICT:
    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
    A MUST SEE!
    Excellent soundtrack.
    Solid A Grade.

    great

    by igo2thamovies2

    I saw this movie with realy high expectations. I have loved quentin tarantino films all my life. Pulp fiction and resorvoir dogs were top 10 in my favorite movies so naturally i thought this movie would blow my mind. and i was right. Although i know most people will disagree with me, In my opinion I see this picture as Tarantino's best film. The direction was superb and the acting by the cast was outstanding. Go see this movie asap.

    A delightful movie of revenge

    by jameon

    Ever wonder what if Hitler and his cohorts got theirs and how would it happen? This delightlful movie explores such a possibility. Set during one of my favorite times in history to learn about, WWII, the Basterds are diabolically funny, violent and precise in carrying out their mission. Brad Pitt is wonderful in his role as their commanding officer and Christopher Waltz is brilliant as the SS officer who gets on everybody's nerves and kept coming back like a bad cold. The subtitles did not make the movie less than what it should be. Hearing French and German spoken throughout the film gave it the authencity it needed for where the story was set. Kudos to Quentin Tarantino for giving audiences who closely follow the events of this time in history the satisfaction of seeing the end of the Third Reich.
