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!
