Inglourious Basterds

Cheap day at the movies so I popped along. Really enjoyed this, rocked along nicely, a linear story line (is that a first for QT?). I'd agree with most reviewers that Chapter 1 was by far the best, but yup Mr Pitt was good, and the Nazi hunter played by Christopher Waltz, who, it appears, has had a very long and successful career in Germany, was superb.
Script was nice and tight, it certainly didn't feel like 153mins, and there wasn't much gore in there. Sadly. There is a predominant feel of spaghetti western, aided by the music choice, which was a conscious choice by QT apparently. I thought it worked quite well.

So yeah, big thumbs up, I enjoyed it and would watch it again...

Apparently some critics are distressed that it wasn't historical.

Sigh. Can't help some people.

We thought it was entertaining :)
