I can't understand people rating this movie badly.
I am one of the few that did not like this film. I thought at times it was funny but maybe it pushed to much for me. I know a ton of people that love it but I am one of the few that didn't like it. As a 5 star rating I think the camera work, sound design was great. I don't think people should just judge a film based on the story you got to look at other areas like camera, cinematography, sound design and budget.
If you like good dialogue, you will love this movie. All of the actors do a good job, but Christoph Waltz makes such a great and interesting villain, and all that while acting in 3 or 4 different languages! It's amazing how it can be so funny and so scary/disturbing right after that, or even at the same time! Some of the memorable scenes are obvious tributes or homages, but never bland rip-offs!
There are no heroes in this alternate-history WWII tale, a story in which the protagonists are as brutal and cruel as the Nazis they intend to destroy. 'Inglourious Basterds (2009)' manages to last two-and-a-half hours despite only containing a handful of real scenes and when it works, it really works. The dancing dialogue draws tension from the simplest of situations, but it can lend to a generally slower feeling earlier on. Luckily, that subsides quickly so, despite the fact that there isn't an incredible amount of substance - though, more than in Tarantino's previous two attempts, 'Kill Bill (2003-2004)' and 'Death Proof (2007)', it is still an entertaining experience overall. 7/10
