What did you think of the movie? I havn't seen it yet, but it seems a little violent and looks like it has kind of a "life is not sacred' kinda theme. But i heard its really good. Should i give it a chance?

The parts that are violent are pretty bloody but it's not violent through out. It's pretty entertaining...and most of the violence is against teh Nazis

Just watch the scenes with Christopher Waltz and Melanie Laurent. They both deserve Oscar nominations.

I respect Inglourious Basterds more than I liked it. It was an alright film, but I was a bit disappointed. I need to see it again though just to be sure I didn't miss anything or not.

are you joking, the film was terrible, not entertaining in the least bit. And the basterds weren't even fully developed into characters, it was a terrible movie, trust me.

Maybe I want to see it again. Maybe I feel I didn't fully understand it on my first viewing and owe it another viewing. Sometimes I just need to see a movie twice to fully appreciate it. :|

And I'm quite glad there's a difference between us. I hope you don't mind that I plan on wasting my money on Inglourious Basterds again in the future. Hopefully it doesn't traumatize your life because people actually pay for this movie.

That'll be all.

I agree with Jazz_Fan. It'll be worth watching when it comes out on DVD just for the scenes with Waltz. He was great in this movie...he carried the movie, in my opinion. Without his acting, it would have been just a bunch of aburd violence, intermingled with some beautifully shot scenes.

Yeh, just close your eyes for the rest of the flick. JUST watch those scenes. :|

Seriously that makes no sense.

TC, it's an incredibly fun movie to watch with some great performances, cool violence, funny scenes, etc.

I didn't say to not watch the entire movie. I'm saying that without the great acting on Waltz's part, it would have been a fairly empty, mediocre movie. Sure, there were some beautifully shot scenes, but without the great acting to carry it, what would we be left with?

True, all the actors in the film did a great job....but, wouldn't you agree that Waltz's performances outshined others?

As to the violence...sure, it's fine in doses...and Tarantino always does it artistically...but anyone with enough money and studio clout can do a dumb violence movie these days. The good acting in this film is what sets it apart from other movies...meaning, it wasn't just a movie filled with dumb violence.

Not so much so that the film would have become mediocre without him. One performance doesn't make a movie. Doesn't make sense to me to watch a movie for one performance.

Who did Waltz play again?

He was the Jew Hunter. The Nazi who was assigned to France to make sure that all of the Jews were accounted for.

Just because they're in the title doesn't mean they have to be fully developed.

And I actually think the title is about every character of the movie. Everybody's both Inglourious and Basterd.

Tokugawa77

nailed it

very bloody, violent, and life is certainly not sacred.

I loved the movie, better than I was expecting.

What really impressed me was the acting; Brad Pitt was great, and Eli Roth suprised me.

And the endng...AMAZING

There are plenty of great movies that need to be watched a couple of times to get the most out of them. Not all movies should be presented while you sit in your recliner only half paying attention. Some movies are great that way, but some people like more. I, too, enjoy the movies that make you watch them a few times, not because of bad acting/directing, but because of the complexities of the narrative. Who hasn't watched Fight Club a couple of times to see the hints about the ending? It's a very similar concept.

Its pretty long and quite pointless. The best scene is shown at the beginning in the farm house with the Nazi investigator. That Nazi probably being the best character in the entire thing. Dunno who the actor was for that guy but he's good. Dont waste your money on this overrated rubbish.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I reallyhope Melanie Laurent gets a nomination.

As for the film, I didn't really care for it. There were a few scenes that I thought were brilliant and some really great performances, but that's it.

The only scene I really liked was the opening scene at the farm house a couple scenes ran on for too long most notably the bar scene. But, man Waltz was great. Laurent was also good, stricken by revenge.........

The Jew Hunter, his name is immature but he is the most interesting and mature character in the film....
