Holy shit, for 2 hours and 32 minutes, I was never bored.
Basically, Inglourious Basterds (spelling mistakes are intentional) is a story about the attempt to take down as many nazi's as possible, by a group of 9 guys with the self given name "Inglourious Basterds".
While the entire 2 hour and 32 minute film doesn't revolve around the murdering and torturing exploits of Brad Pitt and his nazi killing crew, the story never leaves you bored. There was honestly a scene that was about 35 minutes long, and it was just four or five people talking in a bar. And although I did notice "hey, this scene has been going on for about a half an hour", I wasn't bored with it.
Word of warning, with all of Tarantino's movies, don't go see it if you're squeamish. Lot of graphic imagery. And in comparison to movies like Hostel and SAW, the violence is very realistic, and believable.
But if you're not squeamish, and love seeing a nazi get what's comin, definitely go see it. I give it a fucking 9/10. Great story, great action. Tarantino is a brilliant director, and superb acting job of Brad Pitt and the rest of the Basterds (namely Eli Roth and BJ Novak). And the actor's name is evading me right now, but the actor who plays the SS Officer with the nickname "The Jew Hunter" does an amazing job.
Go see it.
