the first half of this movie be quite good . it be interest and suspenseful . the second half be pretty bad . the comic book revenge story come full circle and we see lot of comic nazi character and some badly act good guy blow them away . there a lot of violence in this movie . i be not squeamish about violence but i think it should at least have some purpose in a movie . there be little purpose to the violence here except to create a genre film where we see lot of people get mow down with rifle . be somehow suppose to be amuse by this . i watch reservoir dog recently . there be a movie where violence be employ effectively . it be realistic within the world the movie create . there be never any over the top sound effect . it be a crime movie which play it straight . inglorious basterds should have play it straight but do not . i be roll my eye at how the violence be exaggerate with sound effect and extra bullet to the head and face . none of the back story of any of the basterds be really explain either and theyre simply nazi hunter . we do not really get to like any of them either because theyre too busy cut scalp off and shoot people in the face . it all about revenge and very little else . there be 2 half hour to work with here but few of the basterds be really examine in depth . this seem like it be simply a revenge flick pure and simple . we saw that in tarantino last flick and death proof which i do not care for either . it suffer the same problem . the character be almost interchangeable . the first half again and be pretty good . i want to see the exploit of the inglorious basterds across europe . i be present with a much lame movie about the resistance movement plot revenge against some comic book nazi when they all go to one movie premiere in france .
