I am attempting to watch all the Oscar nominated movies for 2010 (which I'm not too thrilled about) and have so far reviewed Up and District 9.
I'll admit, I was pretty stoked about this one. Quentin Tarantino= good. Brad Pitt= good. People killing Nazis= good.
But this was a HUGE let down... HUGE. I didn't mind that it was not factual in the least. A group of guys seek to kill a whole bunch of Nazis. That's the premise. And they do. A woman seeks revenge against the Nazi that killed her family. And she gets it- kinda. Sure, there were lines here and there that were funny, sure it was cool to see bad guys get theirs, but I did not like the ending and I was pretty bored with the whole thing, which is weird for Tarantino. I'm not even sure why this was nominated. And I hate when the people that I want to die don't and the people I want to live don't.
Family Time Factor: Adults only, serious content and gore.
MOTR Grade: D+ (keep in mind, it has to be REALLY bad to get an F, which I've reserved so far for Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanemo Bay.)
fail.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this one. I'm still on the fence as to whether I'm going to watch it or not.
ReplyDeleteI happened to like Harold and Kumar. Definitely not one for kids, but I got a lot of laughs out of it.
Really!>!>! That is a shame, I've heard mixed reviews too. I guess I'll have to check it out... I mean I am half Jewish so seeing Nazi's die is sort of something that interest me.
ReplyDeleteTerra- I thought the original Harold and Kumar was hilarious... the second one was horrible IMO!
ReplyDeleteSarah- I can see how you'd want to watch Nazis die, but... (big secret)... they aren't real Nazis- they are actors and the whole thing is fake! LOL
