Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds

Tweet

Went to watch the movie Inglourious Basterds after reading several reviews and viewing the trailer. Gave me the impression that it was a comedy that is worth the cinema ticket. Honestly, the show is nice. But personally, I feel it is not worth the ticket to watch it in the cinema. Wait for the DVD. Anyway, here is a short story out line (warning, may contain some spoilers...) The show begin in German-occupied France. Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of her family at the hands of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. She narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Colonel Hans Landa is portrayed as a very shewed man. A very smart and meticulous person who takes great pride in his work, seeking out Jews and German Traitors and seeing to their execution. A talented man who speaks may languages. Nothing escapes his eyes when he is on to you. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution on the Nazi soldiers. They relentlessly hunt and kill the Nazi soldiers. And have a habit of collecting scalps from their kills. As their killing escalated, their enemy nicknamed them 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, when a german movie star, who is also a war hero, engages the help of the cinema operator to host his movie. Unknown to him, the cinema operator is the same Shosanna who escaped the clutches of Colonel Landas a few years back. Shosanna, knowing that the colonel will be attending the movie premier, is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own. The ending was a little disappointing. Speckled with a few laughable moments throughout the film, there is nothing much spectacular about this movie that received so many good reviews. Like I said, it is not worth the movie ticket to watch it on the big screen. Wait for the DVD.
