Went to the first showing last night at my local cinema and thought it was bloody brilliant. I'd heard good things about it in reviews and such but it surpassed any expectations i had.

 

 

 

If you haven't heard about it, it's the new Quentin Tarantino film which follows a band of jewish-american soldiers, led by Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), who're dropped into France with the sole mission of killing Nazi's and scalping them. There are various sub-plots, which come together at the end which give the Basterds the chance to end the war early. All i can really say without spoilers. :lol:

 

 

 

Anyway, highly recommended.

 

Anyone seen it?

I heard it was way over the top and bad. :?

^ Being over the top is what makes Tarintino's movies so great.

 

 

 

Really can't wait to see this, supposedly his best film since Pulp Fiction.

Yeah I was about to say, we are talking about Tarintino here. :P

I'm gonna go watch it on Saturday. It looks good in the funny-just-for-laughs type way. :)

unbelievably good. Saw it last night, easily the best film I've seen this year. But then again, district 9 hasnt been released here yet :P

Ahh I want to see this so badly, but alas...My mothers car is broken down. So going to have to see the movie with a friend I suppose.

If it isn't a bit Inglorious Love/Action movie, then I want to see it.

:thumbsup:

 

 

 

Screened it on Wednesday -- loved every second of it.

 

 

 

I didn't like it nearly as much as I liked some of his other films, but it was still awesome!

It's definitely a film I want to see, just seeing the movie poster for it at the cinema enticed me. I don't know what certificate it is though, so it depends if I can watch it - I've always known Tarantino for his 15/18 movies, never PG13 or U.

Definitely a movie I want to see sometime soon, almost everyone I know has good thing to say about it.

I'm not a Tarintino fan but the movie looks good from what I've seen from the trailers, haven't read any reviews, but I'll probably see it if one of my friends rents it or buys it when it comes out on DVD. I'm not going to go out of my way to see it.

It is absolutely [bleep]ing awesome.

 

 

 

Some of the scenes, especially the first one, are crazy long, but it's still absolutely [bleep]ing awesome.

Easily the best movie I've seen so far this year. The characters were, for the most part, entertaining. Brad Pitt's southern accent made me laugh numerous times during the course of the film.

 

 

 

Gosh, there are so many things to talk about, but I don't want to spoil too much.

 

 

 

Only knocks I have are the slow opening background scene, although necessary, and the predictable ending. Well, at least I predicted it a while before it happened*.

Highly recommend. :thumbup:

With a friend?! You poor soul :(

When I read this script last summer, I got really excited about it, and remained excited til its finally come out.

 

I guess the problem with reading it first is the same problem with all book-to-movie movies - it's always better in your imagination.

 

 

 

The movie is really good, don't get me wrong, but it was even better when I saw it in my head lol.

 

 

 

 

 

I can see alot of people going to it and not liking it because of how the movie was marketed.

 

I'd assume most people are like "hey brad pitt killing nazi's for 2 hrs, cool", when actually he's only on screen for 30 minutes or so, more like a supporting actor.

 

Shosanna doesn't even show up in the trailers even though she's the main character.

I heard it was way over the top and bad. :?

 

 

 

Whoever said that missed the point completely.

 

 

 

I thought it was pretty good, maybe not quite as good as QT's other movies but still damn entertaining. I almost died laughing when Pitt talked in Italian at the theatre.

So, so awesome.

 

 

 

Hilarious movie.

I think I'm going to go see it this thursday, I hope it lives up to expectations =P~

I thoroughly loved the typical Tarantino style. The movie flew by even though it was long and almost all dialog. The soundtrack was great too.

My fall semester at college just started up yesterday and in all three of the film classes I'm taking this semester they all mentioned Inglourious Basterds within the first 10 minutes of class starting. :wall:

I saw it tonight, it was better than I expected.

 

 

 

I almost walked out, though. The second chapter was unbearable to watch. The violence was so useless that it offended me, especially the 'funny' way it was presented. I also hated the audience for laughing at it. Seeing a man get his brains bashed out in such a way just isn't something to laugh at or make fun of, even when he is a Nazi. It was good to see that the movie didn't continue this way and even ended with a critical note towards its audience. I was also happy that despite it's long running time and not too interesting dialogue the movie never got boring. But that's probably because it's chopped up in five chapters, that always makes it easier to watch for me.

 

 

 

I still think Tarantino gets way too much credit for what he is doing, though. It's all been done before, and also in a better way. I don't understand the hype.

Its not really his fault people laughed at it though. I certainly didnt, but I also noticed people in the cinema who did. Its just something about cinemas which makes people laugh at EVERYTHING they see on the screen if they go in to watch a comedy.

 

 

 

Looking back, there was an awful lot of dailogue, but it didnt seem to drag on at all. The first chapter especially, long, but not boring. Chapter 4 was probably the only one which I thought should have been a bit shorter.

 

And just to nitpick a bit, I dont know about the French, but the German seemed a bit off at times compared to what the subtitles were saying.

that movie was hilariosly violent and it messed up history so bad but what can i say i like killin nazis.

Saw it on Tues, my god it was awesome. I can't decide between it and District 9 for my fave movie or this year. Can't wait for it to be on DVD.
