"We in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin"

Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) has put together a special team of Jew soldiers to strike fear into the hearts of the Nazis.
So together with former Nazi supersoldier Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger), baseballbat wielding Sgt. Donny 'The Bear Jew' Donowitz (Eli Roth), Pfc. Omar Ulmer (Omar Doom) and a few others, the Inglourious Basterds are out for Nazi scalps.

But on the Nazi side, Col. Hans Landa aka The Jew Hunter (Christoph Waltz) is just a ruthless when it comes to hunting the Jews.
So when the Nazis plan to have a film premiere at a Shosanna Dreyfus' (Mélanie Laurent) cinema, the Jew living in secret plans to make the Nazis pay for her and he people's suffering at their hands.

When news of the Nazis' film premiere reaches HQ, General Ed Fenech (Mike Myers) enlists the help of the Basterds and brit Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) to infiltrate the cinema and assassinate the heads of the Nazi party.
Double-agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) is their way in and their only hope of getting into the cinema to execute their plan and execute some Nazis

So who will succeed? The Basterds? Or The Jew Hunter?

Well a lot of people will be comparing this movie to Tarantino's previous outing 'Kill Bill' but my advice is not to.
Because we must remember that 'Kill Bill' was an action movie.
Inglourious Basterds is more classic Tarantino. More in the spirit of his earlier movies like 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction'.

Snappy dialogue and inside jokes.
Roping in some friends (eg Samuel L. Jackson, Julie Dreyfus etc) to make cameos.
And of course. Pointless gore. Pointless but appreciated.

Watch this movie. But on it's own.
Don't compare it to 'Kill Bill' and you'll enjoy it more.

Final Verdict:
