Inglourious Basterds review

Just watched Inglorious Bastards. Very entertaining! It is a Quintin Tarantino movie. Was surprised that some of the music was repeats from Kill Bill.

This movie is not historically accurate (tho I wish WW2 ended this way!). It is about this american group that is dressed as civilians in France. They go around and kill Nazis (and scalp them too), and have way too much fun doing this - is that possible? And this story also followed a German Jew Hunter. This character was very smart. You actually kinda liked the guy - he was cheery, likeable, and bright. He would piece everything together so easily. Takes a good director and movie to make you somewhat like an enemy character... Really liked the ending. I wish this really did happen in history. (ok spoiler ahead - skip to next paragraph if you don't want to read). The Jewish French Woman's plot - which I said she should do when they wanted to show a German film in her cinema - to burn down the cinema filled with Nazzis worked out really well. It was executed really well and the film she made to show at the end of the German film was perfect! This plot worked well with the Bastards plot to sneak in and set off bombs. They both happened at the end of the film. Made sure no one made it out alive. And the best part of this movie - is that Hitler and all the top Nazzis died! What a great way to end it - yes not historically accurate - but a good alternate ending!

I really enjoyed this movie. See it if you get a chance. Not too bloody - no where close to Pulp Fiction. Language wasn't bad. And Samuel L Jackson had a cameo! How can you have a Tarantino movie without Samuel L Jackson. Didn't see Tarantino cameo, but he may have been in the background - I know sometimes he likes to be in his movies.

I would probably watch this movie again - so see it if you get a chance!
