While I am withholding judgement on this film until more is revealed about it, I am not optimistic about the combination of Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt and World War II.  It should definitely be noted that the film IS NOT based upon true events other than the overall World War II setting.  The entire story and characters are fictional.

Premise:  During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.

A film critic has said that Quentin Tarantino’s new war movie, Inglourious Basterds, can turn out to be a gift for anti-Nazi viewers, as it has so much of violence against the Nazis.  Harry Knowles, who visited the German set of the Harvey Weinstein-produced picture, has revealed that the picture shows hundreds of Nazis being executed in the most gruesome ways possible.
