Frankly speaking, I was also looking forward to watching this film. And now I must admit with the critics – the film was fine, catching but not a masterpiece at all. Tarantino failed to reach the height of “Pulp Function” once again. According to the critics, the movie has the following pros and cons:

Inglorious Basterds Tarantino

PROS:

  • perfect acting. Everybody’s performance was fantastic, brilliant and highly natural. It was real pleasure to enjoy them acting;
  • wit and smart dialogues;
  • realistic depiction of the historic events;
  • incredible costumes;
  • a great written story.

CONS:

  • this movie is lack of actions, I think movies about war should be more detailed and contain more action scenes;
  • the movie has too much violence and some of these scenes are obviously completely unnecessary;
  • too extensive and sometimes even boring dialogues;
  • the movie seems to be hurried up;
  • the end definitely doesn’t meet the expectations while watching this movie;
  • it doesn’t provoke a feeling of move that has been polished to perfection like a gem.

Or, please, don’t feel upset, it’s only critics review. However, I am ready to bet the movie has dozens of really terrific scenes!

Tarantino himself is crazy about the movie and he was “too precious about the page,” so it took him a lot of time to write the script. Tarantino views this script as masterpiece and he feels it will be the best thing he’d ever written. At the beginning of the 21st century the director had been making a couple of scripts but none of them seemed to be equally important to this. Tarantino took a punt on “Inglorious basterds.”

It was originally reported that actor Michael Madsen, who participated in Tarantino’s Kill Bill would star in the movie and its released was scheduled for 2004. But in the process of writing a script Tarantino found Bastards to be much important and bigger than planned. It took him almost a year to create an ending. The director planned to start this movie in 2005.

In November 2004, the director suspended production of Inglourious Bastards and started directing a part of the 2007 Grindhouse. However, he was still insistent to finish the movie by 2008. After completing the movie Tarantino said he thought it was the closest thing to Pulp Fiction.

When the script was finished, it was leaked on the web and unfortunately Tarantino failed to pull a rabbit out of the hat. The official debut was made at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009 and the film will hit theatres on August 19 in France.
