Is Tarantino's latest concoction worth more than it's rough edges?

Ni! ni! ni! ni! ni! ni! ni!

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. I do believe so.

Here's a few scattered thoughts...

No one should argue Quentin's way with visual storytelling. And way with dialog, it would seem from Inglourious Bastards (indeed there is plenty of chit chat throughout). The script is as well written as anything and better written than most. If you tried to pin this film's genre down, you may find a bit of difficulty.

In some ways it’s a comedy, maybe more precisely a black comedy. Which makes it the twisted thing that it is when mixed with the violence. The elements of performance, gore, and humor are controlled yet really over-the-top.

I liked how I didn’t recognize everyone who showed up in this film. I think it contributed to its authenticity. I did wonder whether “Brad Pitt” got in the way at times. He was great though. More like a scary pitt than a cherry pitt though. And one should watch their back because he's not an all-live pitt either. (Sorry, I'll stop).

I probably got the biggest kick out of the "Italian" trio at the premiere, if you know what I'm saying. Hysterical. I rarely laugh out loud watching a film, but I did there.

As mentioned above, the screenplay for this thing was very well written, although I do have one small complaint. Christhoph Waltz pulled an amazing performance and he has my bet for the Oscar. The problem lies in where his character goes at the very end. The reason it doesn’t completely work for me is because people were playing dress-up and pulling false identities through the whole movie. So by the time it came for Waltz to reveal himself, it wasn’t anything new. It almost seems like a cheap way out the situation in that part of the movie.

I will say though that this is a unique WW2 piece. Unlike any I’ve seen to be sure.

Yeah, peace bro. Right on. Peace.

By the way, I don't recommend Inglourious Bastards :P. Not all Rs are the same I suppose. Meaning, it apparently doesn't matter if you show it or not. Eeck.
