Watched this movie yesterday. A definite thumbs up and would rate it 4/5.
Its not as good as Pulp Fiction, but its a pretty good watch. I found it a little hard to understand Brad Pitt's accent in the beginning, but what the heck..half the movie is in French and German and subtitles help.
Its about two independent plots to blow up hitler and some of his key men who work in the SS and Gestapo. One being set up by the Basterds(who land in France before the Allies came through Normandy) and the other by Melanie Laurent (Shosanna). Melanie Laurent is refreshingly beautiful, esp in the red dress she wears for Operation Kino. The shootouts, gunfights, flying bullets and blood splashing scenes are all wonderfully choreographed and stylistic in the usual Quentin Tarantino's fashion. Also watch out for Christoph Waltz who has done a damn good job as the Nazi officer who is nicknamed 'The Jew-Hunter' in the movie and is a central character.
I wouldn't mind watching it again. If you are watching it for the first time, it has to be in the theaters.
