Inglorious Basterds lacking inglorious Basterds? *spoilers*
I was dissapointed.
The movie was "ok". Being not able to speak any other language apart from English. I spent most of my time reading subtitles, which i have no problem with. Rec, for example was an awesome film. I knew most of the film was going to be in German/French. so it's not as if it took me by surprise.
The cinematography in the film was awesome, the suspense, and the different camera shots etc. The long scenes without cuts were also good, and i have no quarrel about the acting. But i came out at the end of the film deflated. Really deflated.
After reading peoples reviews on here and on imdb etc, i was expecting a thrilling 2.5h. Which is not what i got. I go to the movies to be entertained, and i wasnt, at all. The trailers + interviews about the film seemed to focus on the basterds. But alas, they were in the film for aprox 15minutes? I wanted Nazi scalping and brains being bashed in, arms cut off, kill bill style. in the 2nd chapter?(i think) When they introduce the german guy who killed 15 gestapo officers, i got excited i was thinking thank ****, the films starting. But the film introduced only him? The film seems to be portrayed as a film of betrayal, Certainly the french chick got her revenge. But i mean, come on?! WHERE THE **** WERE THE BASTERDS IN THIS FILM?
all in all the film lacked action and basterds.
