Review of Inglourious Basterds

Unnecessary gratuitous violence, twisting real history in some sort of alternate timeline of events, the use of music which does not marry well with the images on screen (...sounds more like Quentin's temp track of all his old favourite bits of music...)and the levity with which a very real tragic part of human history has been dealt with.

The acting was okay. The cinematography was reasonable. The direction was nothing out of the ordinary and the editing...ho hum.

And this Tarrantino guy is meant to be a new Hollywood genius??? Well...give me John Ford, William Wyler, Robert Wise...etc...etc... any day! Hollywood...down the tubes you go!
