I’ve never considered myself a critic. But, in the spirit of the Ledger, I have endeavored to become one. That said, my first review has been a little late in coming, and I’m certain it will come out a little rough; as first attempts often do. But, luckily for me, Quentin Tarantino made my job easy this time.
The inaugural movie review for the Lincoln Ledger is, now, and shall be until the demise of our site, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Bastards. The Movie is about an American squad of soldiers, led by Brad Pitt as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, who terrorize Nazis behind enemy lines during WW II. But, Inglorious bastards is so much more than an ass-kicking Tarintino style blood bath. It is a terrific story, one that Tarantino has been working on since before Kill Bill Vol. 1. IMDB
While Tarantino doesn’t get so bogged down in the plot that he dilutes the suspenseful action packed nature of his film making style, his characters aren’t wholly one dimensional either. One of my favorite aspects of this movie was how Tarantino would briefly bring out the human side of his Nazi victims before revealing them to be bloodthirsty hard-hearted charlatans.
Overall, this is one of Tarantino’s best efforts. There is enough brutality and stylized production to keep Tarantino’s fans happy, but the movie also has an original and engrossing plot. The surprise ending alone is enough to make this movie worth anybody’s eight bucks. I give Inglourious bastards 4 out of 5 stars, it was a great flick.
