“Inglourious Basterds” reviews indicate that it’s definitely worth the price of a movie ticket. Starring Brad Pitt, directed by Quentin Tarantino”Inglourious Basterds” is destined to be a box office smash. Add in the war element and a huge cash loan budget, and this film simply can’t lose. It will definitely make hundreds of millions of dollars. Here’s what some critics at Rotten Tomatoes had to say in their “Inglourious Basterds” reviews:
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
When a man makes a movie this good, you can forgive him the occasional indulgence. … Tarantino’s WWII adventure indicates an undeniable new maturity. A fairy tale about the infinite power of film, it boasts all his swaggering trademarks: rapid-fire dialogue, gleeful violence, endless cultural references. But it’s the sharp-eyed deliberation that makes the greatest impact.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
The Nazis are the victims, the Jews their slaughterers. The score is part spaghetti Western, part French chanson. Brad Pitt looks like Clark Gable but talks like Forrest Gump. And during the final act of Quentin Tarantino’s wildly unpredictable World War II epic, “Inglourious Basterds,” you’ll hear David Bowie’s 1982 theme song to “Cat People.”
Tarantino is the most fearlessly inventive filmmaker alive - but we knew that. And while “Inglourious Basterds” is never anything less than ridiculously entertaining, it’s nothing Tarantino hasn’t done before.
John Hartl, the Seattle Times
Indeed, what Tarantino calls a “revenge fantasy” against Hitler offers a kind of mirror image to Tom Cruise’s recent “Valkyrie.” While both movies are “what if” tales, Cruise sticks to the facts about the attempts on Hitler’s life, while Tarantino cares only about staging an attack on the Führer that will prematurely end World War II.
