It wasn't all that bad. Of course it was surprisingly tame for Tarantino.

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.
I liked Hugo Stiglitz.

The movie was alright but would have been way better if there was more killing nazis. Everybody expected the movie to be about killing nazis.

It was funny though. Especially in the movie theatre when they try to speak italian and at the end.

Nobody tells you that half (or more)of the movie is in subtitles, and the subtitles are the same color as the background, so WTF. :mad: Oh well, go for the Nazi killin'. :cheers: NOT Terantino's best.

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

I agree totally.  I though his interrogation of people was spot on.  I mean I was at the end of each one of his interrogations ready to tell him what he wanted to know.  He does deserve to be nominated for an Oscar, even winning it!!!

Just watched it, I feel like  :headscratch:

Characters were not credible, and every one was 2-dimensional.  The film is just another Tarantino fantasy where bloodthirstiness takes the place of real human interaction.

I've heard too many "it sucked" over "see it".   I have no qualms of putting it up there with Valkyrie.  I'm tired of Brad Pitt actually.

Dood dont listen to any of these Nay Sayers, watched it last night, Is it chock full of action?  NO are there subtitles? YES

is it one of the best Movies that I have seen in a long time YES

any move that makes you sit up in your seat and go " whoa... holy hell..." is a good movie, and this did that to me a few times!!!

I think you will like it, It is not a bad movie in anyway shape or form!!! 

INK



and to you guys that did not like it....every movie cant be FULL of killing :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Girlfriend is making me watch it.

Worst. Movie. Ever.

If I'd paid to see it in theaters, I'd have formed an Unruly Mob by now.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

For those who said there isn't enough blood in the movie.

Here is the movie with in the movie "National Pride".  This is the full 6 minutes of the movie.

This was directed by Eli Roth, he also played the Bear Jew in the movie.

 He was also know the director for the movie "Hostel".  Quentin Tarantino let him direct this part of the movie and was really pleased with the way the movie turned out.  Said it really looked like a Nazi propaganda film by Goebbel.

I spent most of the film rolling about crying with laughter. Brad Pitt's Italian scene PRICELESS.  :D  :rofl :rofl :rofl
Definitely my favorite part of the movie "bonschorno, um correcto uh i mean si."    :rofl

Too bad he probably wouldn't have gotten off more than a few shots in the REAL battle. The first thing that came to mind when he told his story, and later when they showed the movie:

Call up the armor and fire for effect.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Am I getting this right...people are surprised that a Tarantino movie had akward long scenes of just talking?  Isn't that *all* of his movies? LOL
