Inglourious Basterds: Like, Hate, or Meh?

[Casual Shinji]

I think it was Tarantino's first good movie since Pulp Fiction.

Amazing movie. Only (sort of) problem was, Col. Landa was my favorite character. I'm half-Jewish.

I'm afraid you have the irony. You might want to see a doctor about it.


Overall, I thought the movie was meh. It seemed like they talked for hours then the action parts were incredibly short. Although the best parts of the movie in my opinion were

Spoiler

Donny blowing Hitler into little pieces and whenever Brad Pitt opened his mouth. I almost died laughing with his rant about dying in basements.

BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAR JEWWWWWW

I loved the Bear Jew.

I loved it. Of course, I went in expecting a Tarantino film. I pretty much knew that, while it was advertised as 'KILLIN NAHTZIES', it was probably going to be something less than that. Landa and the Basterds pretty much made the movie for me. A lot of people went in expecting action or something, and they were disappointed that they were duped.

Not enough of the Basterds, too much jumping around in story, sick of Tarantino trying to show everyone he knows how to film different movie styles. It was ticketed as an action flick and there was just too much talking in some parts.

Yes. Cthulhu forbid they use a common Hollywood trick to get people to see a film.

It was a Tarantino film. Tarantino film always have an ungodly amount of talking. Sorry you had to figure that out the hard way. D:

There is a difference between talking that has a point and just having these fill in sections. For example the movie girl sitting in the restaurant with the young Nazi, it is just filler and once again this is supposed to be a movie about the Basterds. Why bother to title it that when they only appear in half of the movie. Why not call it something else and have a tag that says "featuring the Inglorious Basterds". I've seen Tarantino's other movies like Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction... they all have a certain flavor of dialogue that fits into the story and is memorable. You won't find any one quoting or remembering anything special from any of the non Basterds scenes.

I loved it. I was never so nervous during a conversation scene.

 

[Jing the Bandit]

Enjoyable, funny, great joking quote material.

 

[Captain Incapable]

I think it was Tarantino's first good movie since Pulp Fiction.

Kill Bill wasn't all that bad but I do think that Pulp Fiction and Inglourious are better.

 

[prinxess]

I fucking loved it.

 

[DRESSMYSELF]

Loved the whole movie, especially the Hugo Stiglitz montage. I also thought it was histerical that Mike Myers was in the movie.

 

[Captain Incapable]

Oh and.... awREEbur DAIRchee.

I was waiting for someone to say that!

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I loved it, it was like World War 2: As played by you average Pen and Paper RPG group of PC's...

Spoiler

Player: What do you mean I can't kill Hitler? I wanna kill Hitler, we're gonna use our fist guns and kill the fuck out of Hitler!
-Action Sequence-
GM: Alright you have coup de grace'd Hitler, then the bombs around your ankles go off and you take out most of the Nazi high command, congrats, you just ended World War 2

True, True. I hadn't thought of it like that.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I love Inglourious Basterds. By far my favorite film of 2009.

Best part.

 

[Mr.Gompers]

It wasn't that good, the twist of them actually killing Hitler for once was nice, but the rest of the movie was just too much conversation filled. I did find the characters themselves interesting, but like I said, there was too little action(and it was portrayed as an action movie!) So I'm going with meh. Quentin Tarantino just does not make movies that are worthy of a second viewing in my opinion.

P.S. No, I have not seen Pulp Fiction yet, so the above opinion is subject to change. If you Tarantino fans still want to storm my house, I should warn you that I keep my Gatling guns well oiled.

[MiracleOfSound]

Loved every second.

Fassbender was incredible, and had me hooked right from the fantastic first scene. The tension in that sequence was unbearable...

 

[Chancie]

I haven't seen it yet. I'll have to let you know after Netflix drops it off in the mailbox...

Really, though, I've heard from a friend of mine and her boyfriend that it was really good. Seems like most of this topic agrees too.

 

[viperthejedi]

Great movie. Really enjoyed it. Christoph Waltz was amazing in it. I really need to watch this again.

That was one of my favorite parts.
