Opening chapter sets the tone, but everything else is falls flat in QT’s Inglourious Basterds, his first disappointment/least clever
film from the library. If only Tarantino managed to coat the rest of the film with the same tension, wit and flair as found in his introductory sequence (a Spaghetti Western inspired bit with the Krauts, French diary farmer and void of subtitles), then there likely wouldn’t be an inventory of low points: runtime, too cluttered, having too many unimportant characters and a climax that is anti-climatic. Full length review coming soon, here are some pics where they go from to the press conference area: a crazy zoo of photographers made for these less than stellar pics.
Lt. Archie Hicox: Michael Fassbender
Shosanna Dreyfus: Melanie Laurent.
Sgt. Donnie Donowitz: Eli Roth.
Out-of-focus of the director bigger than God. Quentin Tarantino.
