Not what I expected at all. I thought it would all be about the Basterds, but they're just a small part of it. A very well made film, but long, and there's a lot of Greman and French dialouge. It's good, just not what I expected. Brad Pitt was awesome though.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
I didn't expect much going into this film. I knew it had gotten good reviews, but other than knowing Robert Ford was going to kill Jesse James at some point in the film I knew nothing. The movie build up the story and characters in a very engaging way. It strays away from suspense-building techniques and instead looks at the sad ruins of two murderous, self-absorbed people. We all know what is going to happen, but the development of Robert Ford from a little fanboy to scorned assosiate comes clear across and is wonderfully portrayed by Casey Affleck.

Troy
It was an ok movie, but I didn't get emotionally involved in what happened, there was one scene toward the end where I started caring a little, but that was to little to late.
The battle scenes have been compared with LOTR, saying they're good, but doesn't come near to LOTR. This is true, they're good, but can't compare to LOTR.
The acting was good, Orlando wasn't as sucky as expected.
Brad Pitt was good, but it was hard to let go of the fact that he's Brad Pitt. In my eyes he's better suited to play contemporary roles, not historic ones.
Eric Bana did good, he's a good actor, and is still at that stage where he gives it his all, without going over the top.
Sean Bean, as good as ever.
Brian Cox, the man I love to hate. Well, didn't really care until a point toward the end, but it's true; he really is a good psycho.
Of the main three females in this movie, it was Saffron Burrows that I liked the most.
It was nice to see Tyler Mane again, even though he didn't have much screen time.
Now the old squad, I don't really have a clue. I don't feel like writing anymore, they were good.
I'll have to admit that I agree with some of the reviews I've read. This is a good movie, with a lot of really good shoots and scenes, but it lacks the emotion. The point where I started caring was just because it hit a nerve, if that were not the case I doubt I would have gotten much out of it.
What gets me is that the guy who write the screenplay grew up with this story, and still they managed to turn in into a Hollywood thing.
