Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is such an incredibly stupid and obscene war porn movie that I literally couldn't watch it - I had to get up and stand by the side of the theater, where the walkway blocked the screen. At heart, the movie is some sort of a Jewish revenge fantasy (and I am not being either anti-Semitic or very original in saying so - that term has already appeared in published critical reviews of this movie). Not only did nothing of the sort of violence against German soldiers depicted in this movie happen in World War II, but it is a disgrace to the servicemen of the U.S. Army to suggest, even in a highly fanciful Hollywood movie, that such brutal treatment of POW's was condoned and even encouraged by the U.S. Army. And yes, I am aware that German POW's were shot by US soldiers on a number of occasions in WWII, but large scale scalping and using their heads for target practice with baseball bats was not, and the movie denigrates the memory of all American soldiers with its gory depictions of such actions. So tell me, Quentin Tarantino, just what is the difference between this movie you just made and the Abu Ghraib photos? Do they not both depict American soldiers violating the Geneva Convention in a way that we hope our enemies would not, and do they not both cast disrepute on the U.S. Army? The difference of course is that your movie is just a fantasy, and a really bad one at that. Hitler wearing a cape? Raging at a lowly foot soldier? Like some sort of an evil crusader comic book villain. So not historically correct either. And those long-winded trademarked Tarantino monologues - whenever one of them was firing off, it reminded me of that line from the movie "The Incredibles": HE'S MONOLOGUING AGAIN! YADA YADA... Nobody talks like that in real life. Are we, the non-Jewish audience of the world, supposed to be impressed that Jewish American soldiers were able to get their revenge for Hitler's Final Solution against these evil German soldiers? Well, unfortunately, as the movie itself makes clear, the German soldiers who took the brunt of the brutality of Brad Pitt's troops had nothing to do with the Final Solution or the concentration camps. They were just soldiers. And the truth was that the U.S. of World War II did nothing to help the Jews of Europe - the U.S. was entirely dumb and deaf on the issue of the extermination of Jews in Europe until the concentration camps were physically liberated. Efforts to help European Jews immigrate to the U.S. were resisted. So now that AIPAC rules the halls of Congress and mauls any American politician who dares criticize Israel, and now that Israel has the atomic bomb, is it Hollywood's intention to re-write history and depict the Jews of WWII in a more manly and heroic fashion with this revenge fantasy of a movie about a team of Jewish soldiers scalping and smashing in the skulls of German soldiers during WWII? How totally unheroic and unmanly... This movie is just war porn, pure and simple.
