I'm intrigued. Typically I don't care for Tarantino's stuff, but this looks interesting.

If it's half as violent as anything else Tarantino has done, I'll be satisfied.

Looks good. Kinda reminds me of the Dirty Dozen, only more brutal.

I've just seen it.

It was pretty good, actually. It wasn't the best movie ever and I certainly didn't like all the dialogues that went absolutely nowhere and just ended abruptly without making a point (the scene in the tavern). What I did like though was Landa being rather good at this whole "Cat and Mouse"-game.

However, for a movie that is about a squad whose only job is killing nazis, surprisingly little nazis die and the Basterds themselves do surprisingly little as well.

Compared to his latest "masterpiece" Death Proof, this movie was infinitely better, even despite the appauling lack of Kurt Russell. Tarantino's dialogues still aren't as pointy, nasty and exciting as they used to be, but at least he's making effort again.

Except it's not about a squad whose job it is to kill Nazi's - the main character and centerpoint of the movie is obviously the character of Shosanna. The Basterds are just there to interject randomly and provide the action. The marketing on this movie was terrible. People are going to be expecting to see Brad Pitt killing Nazi's for 2 hours and it's absolutely nothing like that.

Thanks for that. I was going to go see it tonight, but I'll skip it.

Yeah, pretty much. But as you say, everything about the marketing and the title is misleading. His first idea for a title "Once upon a time in German-occupied France..." would have been more fitting. Then you wouldn't expect Brad Pitt to barge in guns-a-blazing at every moment. And with some of the dialogues you halfways expected everything to blow up at any second, because they really didn't go anywhere. For example, the Strudel scene:

Spoiler:
It was clear that both Landa and Shosanna knew that he knew that she was not Emmanuelle after he ordered her a glass of milk. You don't need ten minutes of musing about strudel to hammer the point in. It wasn't very engaging, nor was it particularly interesting.


Now add Brad Pitt, a metric f"ckton of explosions and presto, movie was had. But I chalk that up to QT having lost his edge a bit.

However, there's more things I liked than stuff I didn't like. The "Didn't like"-aspects just have more presence. The best scene has to be the italian one.

I'd say you're missing out on a great film, but to each their own.

I loved it. I laughed a ton and it had some brutal **** of course. There were some boring parts, but still great.

When Mike Myers said "the basterds", some girl shouted "Fat bastards!"

Goebbels crying was too funny. As was Hitler.

Loved the Bear Jew.

I'm not a film geek. I would have gone to see this for Brad Pitt killing Nazi's, I wouldn't go to hear Tarantino dialogue.

God, I enjoyed this movie so much. There was never a point in the movie where I was bored. Most people were probably turned off by the amounts of dialogue but I enjoyed every second of it. Classic QT.

As for the small amount of screen time for The Basterds, I was kind of worried going in mostly because I had no idea what the rest of the movie would be like. Turns out it didn't really matter. Would I have liked to see more of The Basterds? Of course, but there were great stories all around in each chapter. I could see how this could be split into 2 standalone movies and still be great.

Great way to end the summer movie season. I'll be seeing it again.
