You're right, I just didn't care for the movie. I found the way the Basterds treated the Nazis to be darkly ironic but in a way that I just couldn't enjoy. It's the same reason I have trouble with the League of Extraordinary Gentleman - Hawley Griffin is a rapist for christ sakes. It's hard for me to be entertained by things that I find morally repulsive. That was the problem I have with the Basterds. I understand they were supposed to be comedic but most of the time I was just feeling a little bit disgusted by them.

The thing about
Inglorious Basterds is it's not really a movie about World War II and shouldn't be related to ideas about real people in real wars. Like pretty much everything else Tarantino has done, it's a movie about movies. In this case it's a movie largely about WWII movies just like
Kill Bill was a movie largely about kung fu movies. Things that are funny in these films are funny because of how they relate to the language of cinema not how they relate to real life.
