I like a well done revenge fantasy but they are indeed very overdone in films these days, however Tarantino manages to make them compelling even as he does them over and over....
I loved the talky bits really! I enjoy conversation and pretty cinematography as much as I do a good brutal Nazi beatdown. I am complex like that. The script is quite good but I only felt like it really shined when Landa was talking and in that bar scene with Von Hammersmack and the Basterds undercover. Landa totally has all the best lines, and then Shosanna is a close second with her awesome lines at the very end of her story. Man so many great lines! Have you seen Pulp Fiction? I want to say if you loved IB you'd love Pulp since it has an even more amazing script but this film is really different from anything Tarantino has done before. Since it's on a much grander scale. But still, I'd recommend it anyway. (and Jackie Brown cause it has the awesome heroine ever <3)
