This is also one of those movies where i will buy the soundtrack too, since i loved all the Ennio music in there.

Also, i kind of chuckled in my head (not out loud) when we got the Tarantino signature bare feet shots

This was a great movie. I started smiling once I saw the 70's/80's era Universal logo and didn't stop smiling for most of the movie. I think I need another viewing though to fully appreciate it.
I loved it but it did seem to have obvious flaws. I think some chapter 1 could have been sharper and more polished in some way. It didnt have the impact I thought it would.


But overall it was funny and cool and the audience seemed to love it.
It was packed at an 11:30 AM showing which really shocked me. and Everyone cheered and clapped like I havn't seen since Bowling For Columbine nearly 7 years ago.
I have a feeling this is gonna do much better than most people (certainly including me) thought.

using tags obviously, what sequence was that? as i am not familiar with that piece of music, and will prob get the soundtrack within the next few days

Now that's a blurb that should be in the ads!

Mondo Kane

Loved all the other tons of nods pertaining to cinema. Ranging from Emil Jannings to "Antonio Margharetti" to the films of G. W. Pabst (Which I happen to be checking out for the upcoming Criterion-challenge)

I also liked the ode to Taxi Driver as Shoshanna goes down to the theater for the premiere.

man i really hate our local critic

i rarely agree with anything he says, so when he mentions a liking to a movie that i liked as welll, its very rare

I liked that too, although Drag Me To Hell and Land Of The Lost both used the retro logo earlier this summer. Still, it definitely felt right for this movie.

I liked the movie, but was sorta taken aback and a little dissapointed in how much of it was taken from Kill Bill 1 and 2. Im not talking about the music pieces alone, but some of the dialogue and situations. Otherwise enjoyable movie, will probably like it more on subsequent viewings.

Mondo Kane

^I was also surprised that he re-used two Kill Bill music-tracks for this. Then again, "Strawberry Letter #23" appeared in both Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.

Didn't know those other movies did it. I thought it was Tarantino's idea (Being that he also used the vintage Dimension logo on Death Proof)
For a minute, I was thinking that it would have been an homage to De Palma's Scarface--Even the red, luxorious theater lobby resembled Tony Montana's living room!

Ledger was great, but kind of hammy and scenery-chewing (which is appropriate to the material). Waltz gave a superior performance (and had far superior writing to work with). There's no contest.

Loved this movie. My favorite movie of 2009 for sure so far and it will tough to beat. My favorite QT movie as well.

I liked this a lot. The trailers made it look like it could be just okay but the movie far exceeded my expectations. Then again Tarantino has never really let me down with a movie yet. I'll probably be going back to see it again and would also like to pick up the soundtrack. The most annoying part was this guy in the theater with the most obnoxious laugh at every little thing. I mean there was funny moments but he laughed at the stupidest shit and I just wanted to tell him to shut up. Other than that very enjoyable experience I'd give the movie 4 out of 5 stars.

Ash Ketchum

For two hours it's very good, but it loses steam in its last half-hour. The final act should have been much more suspenseful and much more intricately edited. So I didn't leave as satisfied as I should have.

Even so, it's light years better than most other films I've seen this year (e.g. PONYO, WATCHMEN, UP, STAR TREK, PUBLIC ENEMIES, THE HANGOVER, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, etc.) and it really should be seen on the big screen.

I loved all the film references. Nobody in my audience seemed to get any of them, however. And I fear they're completely wasted on 90% of this board as well. You're in a stronger position to appreciate the film if you go in there knowing who Max Linder, G.W. Pabst, Leni Riefenstahl, and Emil Jannings are and if you're at least mildly familiar with Audie Murphy's backstory. And if you know something about a particular quality of nitrate film (which at least is helpfully explained for you by Samuel L. Jackson's narration in one bit). And one key scene plays much better if you know something about the famous people/characters who need to be identified in a game some Germans are playing in one scene (e.g. "Winnetou"). Tarantino knows who these people are and has clearly soaked up eras of pop culture from other countries and from decades before he was born. That's the mark of a true film lover.

Eli ROth says in the below linked interview that The scenes involving Leachman and Donny Donowitz's backstory WILL NOT be on the DVD at all! He says Tarantino will be saving them in case he makes a prequel film.

Great! So we'll basically never see them!

Inglourious Basterds - 8.5/10

Much better than Death Proof & very entertaining....

One thing that didn't make sense is when

wonderful film. i really liked the western feel it had in the beginning.

hope eli does a commentary for the dvd, because he rules.

RyoHazuki

I noticed that too. It was very cool.


I really liked the film overall. It's a little bloated, about 30 minutes could have easily been trimmed, and it is unfocused but the writing and acting was top notch. Very entertaining throughout the whole film. Can't wait to see it again.

FantasticVSDoom

Loved it... Nothing new to add that hasn't been said, but after a summer of some disappointments, this one was better than I was expecting so kind of refreshing

Is this correct? I haven't been able to find any evidence that it's a re-recording. Sounds like a remixed version to me.
