InGlourious BAsterds is a Tarantino flick, not a film of any sort. He goes for the cheap laughs and the cheap effects, and I honestly think you are reading far too much into it. Get over yourself, and you'll get over Tarantino too. I’m sorry, but you dignify the film far too much by assigning any sort of maorality to it at all, much less a morality that is insulting to Jews.

Ultimately, in his fictional film, did Tarantino not make the Basterds as evil as the Nazis? After all this film makes Jews out to be bomb throwing terrorists who set movie theatres on fire to kill unarmed people. Using role reversal, Tarantino turned Jews into Nazis and Nazis into Jews.

There was some great acting, and then there was some foolish and immature acting. The more I enjoyed Waltz's performance, the more I wanted to crack Pitt's cartoonish caricature in the face with the Basterds' baseball bat. There were also many jarring and ridiculous asides that were completely unnecessary and pull the viewer completely out of the film. Overall, the film struck me throughout as a cartoonish art film at best, and the mad flickerings of a deranged mind at worst.

This movie is an incredibly fun, ultra satisfying, make-believe masterpiece, and I thank God I'm not so full of myself that I can say I enjoyed seeing Nazis getting their asses beaten to a very bloody pulp. Great movie Tarantino, keep it up!

Your review misses the point of the film and you go out of your way to give away all plot points and nuances. It's a revenge film - filled with absurdity, violence and pathetic characters. This wasn't designed to portray the real war - but the fantasy of war and it's depiction in movies. I am so happy that I didn’t read you review before I saw the movie.

Having just finished watching this film, I couldn't agree more with your criticism. That this film lacked moral depth is what so outraged me also. Sure, the Nazis were evil, but no evil is so one-sided, and no good so self-righteous. Tarantino's body of work has consistently ignored the duty that art has to humanity - namely to portray reality in all of its complexity. Rather, he chooses to mask his failure as an artist by saturating film with blood and gore. After watching "Inglourious Basterds," I can say with assurance that I will never watch another film by Quentin Tarantino ever again. What a great and insightful review!
