I was really looking forward to "Inglourious Basterds" given all the hype surrounding it and Brad Pitt's involvement, but I must say, I was left terribly disappointed. The movie tries hard to blend dark humor with intense drama, but it ultimately falls flat.
First off, the pacing is all over the place. Some scenes drag on for what feels like an eternity while others feel rushed and disjointed. It's like Quentin Tarantino couldn't decide if he wanted to tell a serious story or just throw in random quips and violence for shock value.
Brad Pitt's performance as Lt. Aldo Raine comes across as cartoonish rather than compelling. His character feels more like a caricature than a fully fleshed-out individual, which detracts from any real emotional engagement with the story.
Additionally, the film's portrayal of history is problematic at best. While Tarantino's alternate take on WWII could have been an interesting concept, it often feels disrespectful rather than thought-provoking. The glorification of violence in this context is unsettling and leaves you wondering what message is truly being conveyed.
Visually stunning? Sure! But substance matters too, and sadly this film lacks depth. What could have been a gripping narrative about revenge becomes a convoluted mess that overstays its welcome.
In summary, "Inglourious Basterds" did not live up to its reputation for me-it felt more like style over substance without delivering anything meaningful or memorable in return. Save your time; there are far better films out there that handle their themes with more care and respect.

Despite what everyone says: you will throw up if you see this movie, people run away the theatre (ofcourse because it is a very bad movie and not because of the gore or the blood, they save themselves time you will not have back), because this is the worst movie I have ever seen: stupid plots, stupid scenes. The only thing you see is slasher and blood. Save yourself some time and just find a way to watch all the kills (if you really interested in this) online somehow because that's really the only reason to watch any of this. It is not really worth your time. What is the purpose of seeing someone slashing a human in parts ? And there is no story behind. If you are mentally dead, then maybe, maybe you can enjoy this movie. And still then!
"Wolfs" is a recent movie starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The film follows two rival crime bosses who must team up to take down a greater threat while navigating treacherous alliances and personal grudges. Despite the star power and promising premise, the movie falls flat due to its clichéd plot, lackluster dialogue, and uninspired direction. The chemistry between Pitt and Clooney is underutilized, leaving myself unsatisfied with what could have been an engaging action thriller. After 30' I stopped watching. Constantly stupid dialogs between Brad and George about a body who should be dead, but is not dead .....
