Inglorious Basterds 7.5/10

I have a pretty positive feeling about the movie but I doubt it will be regarded as highly as his prior movies. It wasn't as bloody/gory as some reviews I had read made it out to be, at least not on the level of Kill Bill, but what was there was pretty awesome, especially the Tavern scene.

Brad Pitt was passable, and I thought the humor he brought kept the movie alive at points. Christoph Waltz stole the movie easily though, I would almost dare say if this were a serious movie that he might garner some awards consideration (he did win best Actor at Cannes). No one else really stood out, which includes Mike Myers, who really didnt go as overboard with his cameo as I figured.

The one issue I haven't settled on is the music, so maybe someone else can chime in.
Hearing spaghetti western themes/70's music/David Bowie in a 1940's Fantasy Nazi War Movie was odd, but it did somehow fit with the movie..but it still felt out of place if that makes sense.
