So I went and saw Inglorious Basterds today. Here is my review... 
 
 

Inglourious Basterds is Quentin Tarantino's latest effort in the world of cinema. This is what you would classify as an "Art Film" and that's what it is. It has the signature Tarantino style and flair you expect from his movies. The film is broken up into five chapters much like Kill Bill. Each chapter is it's own short movie ranging from 20-30 minutes. These chapters and huge amount of characters all come together in the final scene which is by far the longest.

There isn't a bad performance in the movie. Christoph Waltz playing Colonel Hans Landa steals the show. The man deserves an Oscar for his performance. I was anxious about Brad Pitt's role but by the end of the movie, I loved his character. Aldo Raine is a true movie badass. Melanie Laurent plays Shosanna Dreyfus, the lovely femme fatale who has a plot too take down the nazis. Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, and even Mike Myers among others are there for the ride as well.

The cinematography is really well done and a lot of odd camera angles are used but that is Tarantino's style. The violence and gore is still there and is set up quite nicely. Inglourious Basterds has a great soundtrack like all the other QT films. A lot of clever word-play and film references all around.

Basically, this movie lived up too the hype and is QT's best offering since Pulp Fiction, and for good reason. If you love cinema and have a passion for movies, you're doing yourself a favor by watching Inglourious Basterds. This is my favourite movie of '09 and I don't see anything beating it. Congrats Quentin, you did it again.
