Reminds me of Inglorious Bastards, looks pretty awesome.

Better? Inglorious Bastards is a fkn great movie.

Going by Ritchie vs Tarantino, I would be very happy if this movie is to Inglorious Bastards what Snatch is to Pulp Fiction.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Great flick.

While I don't think it reached "Inglorious Bastards" heights, "Ministry" was still a pretty great on its own right, and real fun. Pretty interesting to read the actual historical facts that inspired this movie, including the person that served as inspiration for James Bond (Gus March-Phillips, played by Henry Cavill).

Is this movie based on Fleming‘s real MI6 adventures?

Looking at the cast/characters on IMDB, and sure enough, Ian Fleming is a character. Is this based on true events, or just some fantastical story using real historical figures?

While many of the characters are based on historical people, even keeping their true names, the film is not meant to be historically accurate. It's a fictionalized/exaggerated version of an actual British Special Forces operation during WWII, with far more action than any espionage operation would have.

Still, it's a bloody good time.
