Inglourious Basterds

Complete drek. How disappointing. None of the splendor of Kill Bill 1&2, next to none of Tarantino's signature wit, and such intermittent violence that it almost always comes across as phony.

I missed many of the allusions to the war films I'm sure inspired many of this film's scenes and quirks, but one excellent french film came to mind: Army of Shadows. Indeed, Melville's film is a drama, but the flimsy Inglourious Basterds is so unsatisfying that it ought to be chased by something more substantial.
