Amazing movie. Who's seen it?

It was crap
The trailers looked awsome though
Real thing was a letdown

Let me guess, you didn't like it because you can't stand seeing people talking for ten minutes without shooting eachother.

I have yet to see this.

No.

The general film was bad, poorly directed, other than Brad Pitt I wasn't totally thrilled with the acting either.
And a good story line was just drawn out badly.

I found it to be very well made. The soundtrack was excellent, the retro-western style was great, and I loved the characterization. It was a little peculiar how it could so quickly change style (IE, it's a Mexican stand-off as "the Bear Jew" walks out, and once he swings the bat, it's violent and realistic) and the plot didn't string together perfectly. Overall, though, an excellent movie. Eight nat-zee scalps out of ten.

The sound track was awsome, I can agree with you there.
I'd sooner have spent my time listening to the soundtrack than watching the movie though.

I'm going to see it this Friday, again this looks like a great movie

I saw this movie last night (saturday night) and it was hilarious, awesome, and perfectly gory. Every time one of the Basterd's were cutting off a scalp, the whole theater awed in disgust. It was great.

I absolutely love how Quentin Tarantino builds up that gut-churning feeling with long talk scenes just before the action kicks up. It builds suspense in such a great way, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Bear Jew scene even hurt me a little, it was so fierce.

Brad Pitt was just hilarious, especially when he was trying to speak Italian with his Tennessee accent. "Bonjouro".



If you think that movie is poorly directed, I would absolutely love to see a movie that you think is directed nicely. I have to assume that you're just too young to appreciate a good movie. All of the acting was excellent, especially by the farmer at the beginning. His acting was astonishingly good. And that whole scene was a good example of how Tarantino slowly builds up suspense. You know something bad is going to happen but you don't know when or how.

When I saw the first scene, I immediately thought of the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly, which begins with a ten minute talk followed by gunshots. Sergio Leone is a huge influence on Tarantino, and I liked seeing that influence in Inglourious Basterds.

I want to see it!

I just have ONE question...You like westerns, like Good the bad and the ugly, you seemed to like action movies, District 9. One more thing...: are you a female?

I thought the film was pretty good
Loved when they where trying to be Italian

I've heard so many people complain about there not being enough action and even a review stating the same. These people obviously have no idea how Quentin Tarantino does his movies. It's the same as Kill Bill: Volume 2 everyone said was rubbish just because it hasn't the same about of fighting as the first one. Inglourious Basterds was a fantastic movie.

I can't enjoy action movies because I'm a girl? Actually, most "action" movies I like have much more scenes without action than they do with action. It should be common knowledge that a lot of girls like horror movies, and those are never short on action. I could yell at you for being a sexist, but I'm used to it.

Incredible. It wasn't District 9 but it was still amazing. Brad Pitt sort of sucked but I guess that was his part.

I'd have to agree that D9 was better, but really? Brad Pitt was the best thing about Inglourious Basterds.

None of Tarantino's trademark brilliant dialogue though. This film really lacked any memorable conversation.

Great overall but I was disappointed by a few things.

Christoph Waltz, aka the Jew Hunter was epic win.


OOOOOH THAT'S A BINGO!!!!

We just say "bingo".

Oh... ok. BINGO! Wow, that was fun!

Not enough screen time for the Basterds as a group which was dissapointing as that was the most interesting bit. That sub plot with the girl and the cinema was a bit of wasted screen time, although that said the jewhunter dynamic with that woman was interesting.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Kinda lol'd at the trailer that comes on air before the watershed, it says Inglorious and then instead of Basterds has a bunch of bullet holes.

Nah I'm not sexist I'm just stunned at the fact a girl likes the good the bad and the ugly

Sexism, Stereotyping in a sexist manner, it's all the same

Nice contradiction.

No, you can't. It takes a certain amount of masculinity to enjoy an action movie, and females (in my eyes) just don't have that certain amount.



Now on to the topic of the post, I only found the movie humorous and entertaining whenever the Basterds were on screen.

I swear to god theres a word for that..starts with an s..

I just saw it and it ended half an hour ago.

Some bits were hilarious, and Brad was great. But piss-takes of WWII, make me feel at unease. The real heroes are the ones that won that war, IMO.

The funny thing is that I don't know very many guys who like it either, since most people I know haven't seen it. I also know a lot of guys who would hate it because it's three hours long and most scenes don't have any action beyond two people talking or walking.


This is confusing me. Care to explain?


Are you attributing a dislike of long, conversational scenes to men? Just as many girls as guys would find much of Inglourious Basterds boring.

Your good at twisting things, I'll grant you that

I saw it opening night. Freaking epic. Right before the movie started this one guy yelled, "who's ready to kill some nazis?" My second favorite movie of the summer. Only behind the hangover.

"Dude there's a tiger in the bathroom!"

"No there's not you idiot"

Wander into the bathroom

"HOLY CRAP THERE IS A TIGER IN THE BATHROOM!"

That film was pretty hilarious.

I'm waiting for it to be released here
can't wait

I saw it a while ago, and it was totaly Epic by far Quentins best film so far (IMO). The conversations were intense, the action was very realistic, most of the people died, and there were unexpected things thrown in.

Respect the Pulp, also I dont think realism is actually Tarintinos main concern

lol alright yeah Pulp was pretty friggin sweet too. And as far as realism goes i'm pretty sure that was the only thing on his mind well he was doing kill bill vol 1

Who doesn't like The Good the Bad and the Ugly...


Agreed. I like more drama in his films than action.

I looked at the clips they showed for it, looked at the plot, then looked at the rating (atleast the blood content). I decided it was one of the stupidest films created this year and decided against going to it.

I like my movies without horrific levels of blood/ gore in them. I also like movies with real plots (case in point: letters from Iwo Jima, which was very well done, the blood atleast fit into it and was not over done). Thus, I never went to this movie, yet I still think it was a pretty horrible film.

You just admitted you have the most biased opinion ever.

Everyone has an opinion but to write a film off just because you haven't seen it is a little hard to grasp.

I love Tarantino's movies, I'm going to watch inglorious basterds next weekend.

You think it's a horrible film... and you haven't seen it. This is pretty stupid. By the way, Inglorious Basterds isn't horrifically bloody and gorey, and the plot is built up very well. The previews will make it look like a violent slaughterfest, but it's not at all like that. The majority of this movie is dramatic and nonviolent. Good job slamming a film you haven't seen.

For whatever reason I have no interest in seeing this movie at all. I don't know what it is, but whenever I see the trailer it just bugs me. Maybe it's how smug Brad Pitt seems to me. Maybe I'm just tired of the whole 'killing Nazis' thing, in movies and video games (but mostly video games). I'm not saying the movie stinks, how should I know, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't like it.

I think alot of things are horrible, without having done or seen them. I can normally judge a film from the clips they put out. I had thought District 9 was going to be a horrible bloody film (you can normally tell this from when they stop a clip at a certain point. It usually means the following is horribly bloody and gory), but I went in with an open mind. I was right, it was a horrible film. Also, any plot that involves sticking a group of people who run around killing Nazi's is not very good plot. Mainly because it has been done over, and over, and over, and over again.

That said, I did not know if I would like "Taken" that much, but I went to it anyways and I think it is one of my favorite movies.

Define horrifically bloody and gory please. Do you consider District 9 bloody and Gory? Because I do.

Edit: Maybe I am wrong. But the high levels of gore and blood in the film, and lack of any real plot does not make me want to go and see it.

~John

Have you seen Tombstone? *points to best western r

I didn't find District 9 very gorey at all. Just plain blood isn't anything horrific, and there were very few moments that were close to "horrific" levels of gore.

By the way, as I said before, Inglourious Basterds is NOT a pew-pew action movie. Of its two and a half hour duration, two of those hours involve non-violent conversations. There's a few scenes that are violent, but most of them are very calm and dramatic. The trailer makes it look like a hardcore shoot-'em-up movie to sell tickets, but that trailer is misleading.

Heh, and that is where we (and the rating group that rated the movie "R" if I recall correctly) differ. I found it horribly gory. However, I have seen some movies that had alot of blood in them, but had no problems with those movies, because if they took the blood and gore (not too much of it) away, the movie would have been great anyways. Plus, the blood and gore was used only as if it was really happening (and being an almost entirely accurate historical film, it did, for the most part happen).

If a movie feels the need to put extra blood and gore into a film, it is clear it lacks many things and is trying to make up for those lackings, rather then fix the plot (which is very little to begin with).

~John

Can I just ask a question? What's a film you think has a moderate amount of gore? Just to get a baseline.

As in okay with me? Somewhere around Letters from Iwo Jima.
