So wait, it's actually good?
That's a surprising turn of events..

+ You should fix the title, isn't it Inglorious Bastards?

Well, I've always loved Tarantino, so I just had to see this.
But now, after this little snippet of info, I bet my friend, who isn't a huge Taratino fan, would enjoy this as well!
Good show, Bob!
Now fix your mic!

Nope, its with an e in "Basterds".

I was kinda looking forward to this movie before and now I'm pretty much sold on it.

excellent review, I'll be watching it again later, its Bob's voice... smooth and authoritative.

Also, can I put a question out?, regarding the Jew's, ermm anyone here a Jew that has seen it or heard of the plot line to the film?, and how do you feel about Jew's being portrayed in such a way?, as killing machines, but probably witty and quick thinking killing machines being a Tarantino movie, but still.

I ask because if it was a film regarding black people directed by a white guy such as Quentin we'd have N'Gai Croal shouting from the roof tops about how socially regressive it is.

Nope, Mr Panda is correct, the title has an e in it, its mispelt on purpose because there is a seventies Italian Combat film (spaghetti combat) called "Inglorious Bastards" and calling this film the same name would create a "langdell cascade".

A langdell cascade is like a resonance cascade but with legal documents flying at you instead of Aliens, the person who owns the rights to "Inglorious Bastards" so happens to be Quentin Tarantino.

Odd no?

Sounds really good, but I'm just curious if the film really is a spaghetti western as Tarantino described it [http://www.film.com/celebrities/quentin-tarantino/story/basterds-are-coming-tarantinos-inglourious/25432496], or something else entirely.

Inglourious Basterds is written like this on purpose (he kinda explains it on Letterman ; google it).

I saw the movie yesterday and it really deserves all the praise it can get.
Like moviebob said, I went into the theater only having seen the teaser, not the final theatrical trailer (which is even more action-packed) but I was nonetheless expecting a kill-bill-esque nazi blood bath.

SPOILER-ish...sort of.
The beginning was surprisingly good, but action-free; I said to myself that it must be the build-up and the relentless action will soon ensue. Well it didn't, even though it could've, with characters that beg to be shown mercilessly cleaving nazis, like Spieglitz and the Jew-Bear, wich were only introduced, the audience not (really) seeing their nazi-killing-spree.

Albeit dissapointed in this regard, near the middle of the movie I got over it pretty fast, once I truly grapsed what an amazing job Tarantino had done with this movie ; script, camera-angles, the actors (most of them) are AMAZING, the atmosphere is unbelievable. I was actually nervous during the first act, and thought I've heard girls screaming outside the farmer's house, I was THAT tense.

Tarantino's shit-happens-Travolta-dies-on-the-crapper moment in this movie is also priceless. Great movie, great review, this movie ROCKS and Brad Pitt, 3rd movie in a row in which he is simply amazing. Bravo and 'grazie mille, paysano!'

Interesting - I thought it might be good, but a review had me question it (although then I remembered it was in the Guardian, so I took it with a mountainous amount of salt).

Nice to hear its a good film.

A polish development team build Hidden and Dangerous and, ladies and gentlemen, Mel Brooks...

Between Mel Brooks and Spike Milligan, I think the "underdogs" have been chewing on Hitler's remaining 'nad for some time now.

definately looking forward to this one, not sure when it comes out here in Australia, but certainly one ill be keeping a close eye on from now on. I'm a bit of a Tarantino fanboy, but this review definately didnt hurt my ambitions to see this film :p

I'm surprised it's more complicated then I imagined. Another good review from Movie Bob. About four minutes in he mention how he doesn't expect Tarantino or anyone to make anything as "perfect and visionary as the "Kill Bill" cycle" anytime soon. Well I'm still hoping for something that good, and soon, because I need to see something incredible come out of the silver screen. Anyone have an idea to what he's reviewing next?

I am not a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies... I never finished a single one of his movies without having to change the channel change dvd's or walk to another movie that is playing at the same time. I know what you are thinking why watch? well because I always give the benefit of the doubt. I will watch any movie staring anybody because I choose not to judge stuff right off the top. I try not to judge but fuck this I am saving my money and going to spend my money on dorito's and Mountain Dew.
