Inglorious Basterds

I also have not seen this film. But i'm going soon to see it:) .

My brother has seen the film and loved it. The storyline seems so simple, and yet so brilliant. A group of Americans hunting down and killing Nazi's.......its ace.

I thought it was GREAT! Easily one of the best movies I've seen in 2009 (along with "The Hangover").

Note that I am a history teacher, and that this movie has no historical benefit for anyone involved. In fact, it seemed to me as I watched it that it were a clever fanfiction story of what someone would have written as they sat there watching "Band of Brothers" and deciding what they would have liked to happen.

That being said, it's a Tarantino movie, so I enjoyed it, and I thought it was one of his better ones in a long time. It's got incredible production value, it kept me on the edge of my seat, and it was actually a little light in the violence/gore (at least in terms of Tarantino and his usual standards). It's funny in spots where you wouldn't expect yourself to laugh, thought-provoking, and the story carries itself even without the star power and guest stars (look for a certain "International Man of Mystery" and an old favorite of Tarantino narrating the movie).

All in all, one of the best I've seen, no question, in 2009.
