DVD worth renting: Inglorious basterds

[ridley1]

I really enjoyed it. It's not historically accurate; but who cares?

Cristoph waltz as Hans Landa is brilliantly psychotic, the Gestapo officer in the tavern is chilling, even brad pitt does a good job as the tennessee redneck.

It was boring as fricken' hell. They billed it in the trailers as a modern Dirty Dozen, but about 2/3 of the movie was about the Jewish girl that got maybe all of one second of time in the trailers, and looked too much like Diane Kruger to be able to tell in that time that this was actually a different person. And most of THAT part of the movie was about watching her get hit on by the German sniper.

There was the potential for two really good movies in there. The problem is he tried to put both of them together.

Seen the movie in theatres. Apart from a few good scenes, the movie was too drawn out and boring. Too much sitting at a table and talking.

The barroom scene was VERY well done. Yeah, lot of sitting and talking, but they did manage to keep up the intensity.

The problem was the rest of the movie around it. It was too long for either of the stories to stand by themselves, but not long enough to fully develop them both. You ultimately didn't really care too much about ANYONE in the bar scene. The Brit was pretty much introduced just to be killed off almost immediately, and there was barely any development about the two German members of the Basterds prior to that scene.

Got it for the GF for x-mas, but have no desire to see it myself. Might be a long night. :-(

Boy was I disappointed.  I feel like I read a book rather than watched a movie.  I don't mind subtitles but the coloring of them and the fact they were on a 34 inch WS TV in lieu of a theater screen really distracted from the movie.

Hardly any action, most of it was people sitting and talking to each other at tables.  Anyone know what happened to the OTHER guys of the team?  Wish they had focused on them more, as the advertisements showed.

Don't buy this DVD.

Yeah I have to agree, big disappointment from Tarantino, it was way to slow and boring, I only made it through half of it before I turned it off.

Good God. That's all I can say. If I was Brad Pitt, why not shoot Colonel Landa? So he gets a swastika carved into his head, so what? he still gets all the credit for ending the war and he gets to live out the rest of his life on Nantucket Island. They spent almost no time whatsoever with the Basterds and most of their time with that annoying German soldier.

I loved it. 

[Golfer]

The film was excellent and Waltz gave every inch an Oscar winning performance.

Typical Tarantino film, the bar scene reminded me of Reservoir Dogs.  I enjoyed it but also thought it was too long and drawn out.  Probably only a one time watch for me, not enough of the Basterd's doing what they do best.

I usually don't watch Tarantino shows. They are usually violent, vulgar & obnoxious. 
TxDad got this one. I played AH instead of watching it.  *blah*

Good for you. Your time was well spent. I wasted 2 hours of my life with that movie.

Agreed.

I spent most of the film rolling about crying with laughter. Brad Pitt's Italian scene PRICELESS.
