Subterranean Cinema
9Jan12
One of THE most overrated films of all time. Brad Pitt is irritating enough as a redneck American officer that I started rooting for the "nat-zees" to win. Pitt's white trash character needed a scalping, starting from his moustache and down through his tongue and out the back of his throat. Sorry folks, but this is absolute garbage. I only wish it had been made on burnable nitrate stock.

It's the cinema, stupid. It's fine to like this movie for silly reasons, but any serious critical approach must take into account its sophistication and evidently encyclopedic knowledge of cinema history and tropes. The film's final wink is totally justified. Tarantino knows this is his masterpiece, and he has every right to say it. Godard: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”

I cannot imagine getting tired of this film despite its jumping on the "nazi-hate" bandwagon. Cinematography is gorgeous. One of the best opening scenes of hollywood cinema; cinderella scene is terrifying in most thrilling way imaginable.

Carried by an outstanding ensemble cast, Inglourious Basterds takes us on an intense yet hilarious ride, while rewriting world history. It manifests Tarantino’s talent for creating unbearable suspense and excruciatingly funny moments alike, without losing focus of his characters’ emotions, and proves his love for world cinema. Highly entertaining!

What Tarantino had uncomfortably wrestled with for so long he effortlessly succeeded at in "Inglorious Basterds". The references to other films are certainly as pervasive as ever (from Dreyer to Leone to Looney Tunes and everything in between) but for once they add up to a cohesive whole. This is the love letter he has been working toward his whole carreer: a movie where cinema actually saves the world.

This film is bad on all levels, but making Hitler a cartoon/ a charicature, that's just about the stupidist thing I've ever seen in a film. I bet that when Tarantino sits down to watch his entire ouvre, when he's an old man, he'll kick himself for that one. Then again, Tarantino's very odd-he's the only filmmaker who's becoming more silly and immature with age. Tarantino's the Benjamin Button of filmmakers.

Not without flaws but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Christoph Waltz is phenomenal, colonel Hans Landa must be one of the most badass villains ever. That opening scene is so damn thrilling. And I loved Brad Pitt's accent, it makes Aldo really likeable.

A strange, fascinating film, alternately mature and juvenile. Whether the big ideas lurking underneath the surface or its more exploitative aspects win the day is up for debate, but nevertheless BASTERDS is a film worth grappling with, and is richer than any of Tarantino's other work to date.

I really was not a fan of Tarantino after Pulp Fiction, but after this film, I can tell he was building on everything he learned from those "in-between" films to make this masterwork. This is comic book mayhem at it's best. Love it.

Christoph Waltz waltzes his way all throughout the film. The film could have been better off without Brad Pitt, though. But everyone else was superb...

Intense, rude-words, breathtaking-war-scenes... But female agents are cool!

Ever drank carot juice when expecting apple juice? My 1st viewing was like that feeling. It's far from bad but it just isn't the Tarantino I fell in love with. It lacks that weird humour Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs get their energy from. It lacks Uma Thurman. Granted, it has Pitt and Waltz and Diehl and the rest of the pack but they just don't make up for the fact that it's much less fun than I expected it to be.

I didn't get it, later when I did I wanted to send it back - like cold clams that should have been hot or noodle salad and I hate noodle salad. The problem with Tarantino is he started listening to people blowing smoke about his movies and dont' get me wrong, he's made some zips, deservedly noted but this tries to be more, ends up less. People want to get it cause they think it makes them a cinéaste when sadly, no.
