Inglourious Basterds

What an awesome movie. The trailer was absolutely misleading, which is a shame. Brad Pitt is not the star of this show. The star is some guy named Christoph Waltz. I don't know where this guy has been, but he's an absolutely brilliant actor and he needs to win an Oscar or whatever the hell they give actors.

He plays the role of Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa, quite probably my most favorite character ever. I'm gushing like a schoolgirl over the latest boyband, I know, but this guy is so incredible. He's quite practically Sherlock Holmes in a Nazi uniform, and I love Sherlock Holmes.

So yeah, if you like Tarantino movies and, if like me, the trailer kind of turned you off, I'm here to say that you've got nothing to worry about. Great film.

Granted they could have cut every scene out but Landa's and I'd still be praising it. See it for the greatest villain since... since... I don't know when.

Oh, and District 9 was pretty kick ass too. I probably would have gushed over that movie if this one hadn't come along.

Ha!

Tarrantino is just pandering to his kosher over lords.

That movie is a flop and just like all the other zio-world war two movies that the goyim lap up like bagels and lox.

The joke is on you.

Take your anti-Heeb sentiments and shove them up your narrow ass, Mr. Crazy Guy. Really. It's wearing thin. You get to be a pain in the ass only up until the point where you cross a line, and you're damned close. This forum is not the place for you to float your prejudices.

Thanks for the review, Gribble. i have heard mixed reviews on this movie, but I trust your judgement. Maybe I can get out soon to see it.

I would watch it, if Tarantino movies didn't have a history of being so violent and unnecessarily gory.

I can't handle gore.

It's violent and gory, yes.

Not a chick flick by any stretch.

Inglorious Basterds kicked ass. I loved it!

Great movie. I'm not a grand gore-lover myself but even I could handle it. Maybe because of the slightly mocking undertone Tarantino put in it, in my opinion. And in the end I just like Tarantino his style. I'd recommend it, anyway.

Christoph Waltz was amazing, indeed. Brought out his character wonderful, chapeau.

It better be worth my time, Gribble. I'm going to see it based on your review. ;)

I LOVED THIS MOVIEEEEE. I think I wanna go see it again. LOL

I saw it the other night with some friends. None of us thought it was as great as some of his earlier films, but it was a good movie overall.

ahhh I want to see that movie!

It was a typical Tarantino movie. Love it!

BEAR JEW!

I laughed so hard at that point.

OMG, Tarantino's movies are all so good that i always wonders where he can find all this ideas...
Inglorious basterds is a typically Tarantino movie, with all this blood and this conversation that are so unrealistic. The only disappointment of this movie is the end : the good are winning, the others are dying ... But the story is very good, just like the actors and all the rest :)

It a great film, not sure if it will become a classic though?

District 9 was well made, but over-rated. The Fourth Kind, that film is amazing.....and also the Men who stare at Goats.

Awesome entertainment (in parts - some dragged) but not classic Tarantino.

I probably enjoyed it more than most people since I grew up with war books/movies. The story was very well developed with many unexpected twists, especially when Shoshana got killed. I kinda hoped she'll make it to the end. Otherwise it was an unappreciated by many masterpiece.

Did I tell you I saw this, Gribble? I loved it! The best movie I saw this year, though granted, I haven't been seeing many movies. They all seem silly these days, and not compelling enough for me to ditract myself from thinking about the odds of the person who sat in the seat before me having lice or scabies. hahah

IB keep me seated throughout the movie. :)

One of the best movies for 2009..

I liked in the preview about how Brad's character said "THis man desires to die for his country. Would you be so kind as to oblige him?" Classic and I'm not sure if I want to see it though.

"District 9 was well made, but over-rated."

And too disgusting for words and for no reason at all.

You are so clever, and also so naughty.

I really liked Inglourious Basterds, I thought the bar scene was incredible, and I liked the way the German private is introduced, at first semi-likable despite his background, then quickly reveals himself to be a monster in every conceivable way. Its like Tarantino sets people up so that you can see them, feel them, empathize with them, then watch them die in full gory detail. I did not, however, like the ending. I thought the movie was great as a collection of sequences that were each worthy of a movie on their own, but the way they were turned into a loose 'macaroni' plot kind of detracted from the film in my eyes, especially the end where, well, you know. I thought the end was cheesy and ruined it a bit. Despite that, I'd still say Basterds is one of my favorite QT films of all time.

I didn't watch IB at the movies because the trailer put me off like it did Gribble.

But how can I ignore it after all the praises in this thread.

I liebe this movie, its´absolutley great,m epecially christoh waltz

This was my least favorite Tarantino movie. Brad Pitt in particular turned in a lazy, corny performance. There were some good scenes, especially the opening scene and the bar scene. But it was too much meta-commentary, on the war on terror and on movies themselves. See, the Bush Administration is like Nazi Germany, and the Inglorious Basterds are al-Qaeda. I'm a moderate and independent voter, but even I was annoyed by that comparison.

Black Book was a far superior movie about WWII, though directed by Paul Verhoeven. Yes, the same Verhoeven who made such bad movies as Starship Troopers and Showgirls. But he also made the savagely humorous Robocop. Black Book is his masterpiece, a bold and startling epic set in the Netherlands during World War II.
