This was by far [Tarantino's] most fun movie that he’s made so far. I can see myself watching this more than any of his previous films.

Once Upon A Time....In Nazi Occupied France opens the film in the first chapter (a signature Tarantino style) of this WWII film in which Jewish American soldiers, who've deemed themselves "The Basterds", ambush and scalp Nazi's.

The fact of the matter is Basterds is in simplicity , only a handful of very large scenes - it's very dialogue driven and exactly what you've come to expect from this now great director/writer.

I am definitely no Tarantino worshiper, but Basterds is loads of irresistible R-Rated fun.

It’s not a bad film but it’s not a great film ... I don’t think it’s a miss-step in his career, more a signal of him levelling off as a filmmaker.

It's always a real accomplishment when you can create a film that the 21 year old, UFC-watching, Red Bull-drinking, college kid can enjoy just as much as the 35 year old, Fellini-watching, Latte-drinking, painter.
