Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” gets bad reviews

The Hollywood Reporter put out one of the first reviews of Quentin Tarantino’s new movie Inglorious Basterds starring Brad Pitt and a lot of Eli Roth (director of the Hostel movies):
History will not repeat itself for Quentin Tarantino. While his ”Pulp Fiction” arrived late at the Festival de Cannes and swept away the Palme d’Or in 1994, his World War II action movie “Inglourious Basterds” merely continues the string of disappointments in this year’s Competition.
The film is by no means terrible — its running time of two hours and 32 minutes races by — but those things we think of as being Tarantino-esque, the long stretches of wickedly funny dialogue, the humor in the violence and outsized characters strutting across the screen, are largely missing.
