Inglourious Basterds

Christopher Waltz was amazing, Brad Pitt was annoying, and the whole thing was a great big bloody funride to hell. Did you notice the vocal cameo by "The Wolf"?

Heck, the first segment alone is worth the admission, the actors are amazing. I understand from a French-speaking pal that the wordplay in that language was excellent, full of subtlety and puns that didn't show up in the subtitles. I suspect the German was the same.

Violent, long and not what I was really expecting, but two thumbs up. LOTS of talking, so for those who aren't into that beware.

 

Classic Tarantino

 

I watched it as well. Loved it.

 

I've heard good things about this movie. I'm going to have to see it soon.

 

Now I really want to see it. In Ebert's interview with Tarantino, QT said he's kept this script alive for about 10 years, and primarily because of that first scene.

 

The Italian speaking scene was absolutely priceless! Inglourious Basterds is, dare I say it, as good as Pulp Fiction!

 

I've heard nothing to great things about this film, can't wait to see it.

 

Im going tomorrow. Cant wait!

 

Saw it nay but a few hours ago. Thought it was absolutely great, bit violent, gory at times, but its all in good humor!

Couldnt help but guffaw at the Landa's pipe in the first scene! Jesus, that and "Bon-gourno"

5 stars, As good as Pulp Fiction, but that will always be his Magnum Opus.

See it!

 

For me, 3 out of 5 stars. Good film, just not fantastic (and I love WWII films). I will say I think it's Tarantions best film since Pulp Fiction (most have been junk since I think), though not near as good. I thought the film needed about 30mins chopped out. Characters that were introduced were never really fleshed out (British spy, German spy/actress, Stiglitz etc.). They were given a little bit of back story but never really did much of anything. Even the Basterds themselves didn't do much. Here they are supposed to have this great reputation and other than bashing some dudes skull in, we never see much of their adventures.

One thing I found funny, Brad Pitt has been quoted as saying Tom Cruise's Valkyrie film was "ridiculous". That's in it itself is ridiculous, as the whole ended/theater was absolutely ridiculous and completely unrealistic (apparently the 1000 SS bodyguards that Hitler had took the night off for a major public event--in 1944 no less). At list Valkyrie was historically accurate. I guess real life is just too ridiculous for Pitt.

I enjoyed the film, (Landa character was awesome) and recommend it, but for me it is not as fantastic as everyone else seems to have experienced.

 

I saw it the other day and I thought it was ok, but not great.

Definitely worth a watch though.

 

I enjoyed it. No moral high ground really given to anyone, even the Americans. Everyone did just about the worst they could do to everyone else. Sometimes they deserved what they got, sometimes...maybe not. Also, historical accuracy pretty much just thrown right out the window, but it's Tarantino, not the History Channel.
I will be seeing it again.

 

Saw it on Sunday and thought it was just OK.

 

That was an interesting part of his interview. He said that it's obvious he took historical liberties, but doing so allowed him to create a different movie instead of every other War movie where, ultimately, you know the outcome. There were no assumptions about any of the characters this way.

 

Want to see...badly.


Looks brutally epic.

 

Definitely mate, its a good one

 

honestly I enjoyed watching it, pleanty of people will pick it apart but if your the kind of person that just looks at things at face value and don't attempt to disect things, you'll enjoy this movie
