Not A Disappointment

For those of you who are QT fans, go see this movie!!!!!. Saw this film in France and let me tell you something it wasn't short of anything that you would expect from a QT film. QT brings in every possible controversial issue in this film which makes it ten times better. Eli Roth might be a bit much, but Brad Pitt and Chistoph Waltz who deserves a Oscar nomination for his role in the film, made this film every bit as entertaining as Pulp Fiction. This film contains a lot of gore so children shouldn't be allowed to see it on their own, QT does not hold back anything and lets it all go. Waltz performance as part of the German army makes you feel the hatred that the Basterds are feeling throughout the film, not only is this film shed some redemption of the events during world war II. Diane Kruger also did well as BVH. The only thing awkward about the film is seeing little Ryan Howard(Novak) become the hardcore animal that he is in the film.
