"Inglourious Basterds" begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.

Its Tarantino that alone should make you want to see it but if thats not enough ... Eli Roth swinging a baseball bat while looking sexy should be ...

A fun movie, I think it suffered for me purely because so many people told me how good it was.

as far as a Tarantino movie goes, it felt quite tame to me. Having said that i'm not the greatest fan of sadistic violence, which wasn't really in this one, a couple of scenes where there was a bit of cringing but other than that, it was fairly good. I liked the story line, and the fictional elements, altogether it was a nice package.

A lot lot better than expected, Christoph Waltz is by far the best thing in it, scarily menacing even just drinking some milk!

my favorite Tarentino film by a long shot!! You forget this is a Tarentino film for long stretches, but then his trademark style of film kicks in, and reminds you why you went to see this! A+
