Inglorious? Not so much, in fact, quite, quite glorious. Almost to a fault.

Another short review, this one of the magnificent “Inglorious Basterds”. Although short, I can talk about this movie quite extensively if given the opportunity. So if you down, hit me up for some convo. on IB!

I had my doubts whether or not to see this movie. To invest the time to see what the previews had, previewed. Not sure I wanted to see “that” movie. Heads being bashed in, collecting “Nazi scalps”, all cool, but not for $10. But in the end, I trusted in Tarantino and went for it, not seeing enough poor reviews to convince me otherwise.

And man was I lucky that I did NOT get the movie advertised. Instead, I got a smart, conversation heavy(albeit subtitled), tension filled thrill “tour”. Not a ride, it was a stroll through WW2 via an alternate yet similarly gritty, thoroughly fascinating time in history where we can find ourselves marveling at what evil is truly capable of if given a free reign.

If you are looking a head bashing, throat slashing romp through the French country side, skip this movie. But if you are a fan of great dialogue and movies taking you in directions you weren’t expecting, basically a classic Tarantino flick, this is for you.

Go see it, fast!
