Ok, so this is not one of the Worst of the Worst movies on the list. Actually, its FAR from it. I have been patiently waiting for my next Worst movie to come in the mail from the oh so ever fast online Blockbuster (sarcastic tone). So, to occupy my time, I must watch good movies to outweigh the bad. This movie outweighed all four of the past Worst movies I watched! And that is saying a lot!
I am not a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino. It always seems like he sticks to the same stuff and doesn't really go outside the box of "Samurai Sword Slashers". I had a Kill Bill phaze back in high school with my friend Stephanie where we were absolutley obsessed. So naturally we thought the rest of his movies would be good. I'm probably one of the few people who will say it aloud, Pulp Fiction sucks! Reservoir Dogs sucks! Sorry to have go to such drastic measures...
In my mind, Tarantino hasn't made any other movies than Inglorius Basterds. That way, it's OK for me to say that he is one of the best directors out there. This movie combined everything that is good about a movie into one: action, supberb acting, amazing script, witty out of place comedy, gore (but not TOO much that you puke), and a lead up to an ending that leaves a very satisfying taste in your mouth. On top of all that, you end up loving the villian, not because you side with him, but because he makes you hate him so much that revenge is sweet. Not to say that you can't see Tarantino's style. There is still the shocking scenes and the bloody mess but it's done in such a way that doesn't make you say "Cheesy!". This movie has a smorgasbord of languages in it as well: English, French and German. You have to read some subtitles but that only makes it seem more authentic.
To put it in a simple form of description, when I left the theatre all I could say was "Bad Ass!"
