Inglourious basterds:
Not bad, but not great
That about sums it up, an above average movie, with the clear Tarantino style,
but it goes up and down for immersion.
Christoph Waltz is great as the SS Jew-Hunter Landa, no question about that. The first scene was great and did an excellent job of painting his professional character.µ
It's his best work since Kill Bill, definitly, but, to steal a quote from the guardian:

When I saw Inglourious Basterds at Cannes, my traumatised complaint was that it fails as conventional war movie, as genre spoof, as trash and as pulp. Since then, its defenders have claimed that the point of the film is that it is "kosher porn": an over-the-top revenge fantasy for Jews. Well, erm, maybe. But it might simply have the highly un-porny effect of reminding us what actually happened.

For me, it's a 7 out of 10.
