Really enjoyable movie which I liked just as much the second time around. The characters and dialogue are captivating and it has some brilliant moments of humour.

*** SPOILERS in places.I have my own scoring 'tool' with 12 categories and here's how I arrived at the above score of 7. Quality of script: 8; Quality of cast: 8; Appeal of characters: 8; appeal of storyline: 8; Quality of photography, images, etc.: 6; How quickly it engaged and held my interest: 8; Plausibility: 2; Music: 7; Overall entertainment value: 8; Inspiring: 3; Overall *style*: 9; Ending: 7. Things I didn't like: some of the casting, like Hitler for example. I actually can't think of much as I write this.Things I liked: I thought Pitt was very funny and I liked most of the actors very much. This was my first time for C. Waltz and M. Laurent . . . VERY enjoyable performances. This is a comic book type film and pretty much sticks with QT's known style, etc. He comes up with ideas I find original and interesting, though in places he can be borderline too chatty. Sometimes he rides the line. I turn away when T's films get too violent -- not my thing -- and this film had some of those. I'm anti glorifying violence, but for some reason T seems to get away with it, for me . . . perhaps b/c of the comic book quality of his films. The whole idea of wiping out the German high command, including Hitler, was inventive. I'd not seen anyone else do that. I may come back and add to this or tweak it.

Inglorious Basterds is one of my all time favorite movies, right up there with Pulp Fiction and The Godfather. It is brilliantly written, directed, and acted (Christoph Waltz and Melanie Laurent are incredible.) All the main characters have depth and their true manipulations don't fully come to light until the climax. Language barriers play a major part in this film with French, German and English all spoken regularly throughout the film, and Tarantino's decision to change history will always be remembered for years and years to come.

This movie is really good and I like the concept of it. There's good action scenes with a lot of blood a violence. The only problem I have with the movie is 70% of the movie is non-stop talking so if you don't like that kinda stuff, this movie is not for you.
