Saw this at the cinema last night.

Anyone else seen it?

I absolutely loved it, definitely the best movie I have seen for quite a while. Most of the audience clapped at the end, which I haven't seen happen in a regular screening before.

There were so many clever and subtle things, the cinematography was amazing, and the sets were authentic.

Its a Tarantino film so its obviously not going to be for everyone, but anyone who has liked any of his other films should love this.

A++ would watch again.

yuo r a bad spellar

You are a riot, sir

I speak abit of i-talian ... Bonjouno!

did you happen to see it at southbank last night? i saw it there haha.. and yes, awesome movie

isn't that the 1 with brad pitt and s***? looked hell good from the trailer

Kosher p0rn.

haven't seen it
but a mate of mine told me that all the action is in the trailer
and the rest of the movie is just 2 hours of jibber-jabber
confirm/deny?

Plenty of action that wasn't in the trailer.

But about half the movie subtitled (as some of it is french/german).

did you happen to see it at southbank last night? i saw it there haha.. and yes, awesome movie

Nah, saw it at Chermside.

I thought it was good, but I think D-9 was better.

No spoilers! I'm going to try and catch it sometime soon

Can't wait to see this..

The soundtrack is brilliant as well.

No offence to your friend but if that is what he said. He has absolutely no taste and no appreciation for films.

I just saw this today. What a great movie. One of tarantino's best. The plot,actors, sets and costumes are all awesome. I have seen my fair share of movies based on nazi's and WW2 and this was the best I have ever seen.

p.s. Mr Hardware - tell your friend that "jibber jabber" he spoke of is called a story. Perhaps he missed this.

aww no one said typwn yet, its actually spelled basterds

you mean like how he spelt it in the thread title?

no

yeah but i was thinking someone was going to TYPWN him for spelling it correctly
anyway, the new birch (event?) website sucks balls
I gave up and booked my tickets for this movie tomorrow via the tele-me-fone

yes

What about "inglourious" teq, you think that's spelt correctly?

Less off topic typical QGL style rambling and more inglorious basterds stuff. Like how hawt this chick was in it...

I don't like her knees.

I agree, she should be on them...

second photo i could swear she was a man

Good Movie.

Only flaw is that its a bit too long but all Tarantino movies are.

The dude who played Col Hans Landa should get an oscar.

Yeah Christoph Waltz was amazing. He won best actor at Cannes for it.

This is a great flick. Great costumes and language acting. The start is very slow but it soon gets rolling, and the ending is amazing. 9/10

saw this last night, awesome movie
Tarantino is king

Saw this last night, this movie is a goddamn masterpiece! It's very typicaly Tarantino - you can tell he directed it, sure, and it has all the normal hints that it's one of his movies (lonnng scenes that just go on and on to the point you're starting to think "wtf is the point of this?", credits in a very old style, subtitles with words/sentences mixed in in the same language as they were speaking in the first place so it's not even translated)...

Yes, Christoph Waltz is brilliant. So is Brad Pitt, I'd even go as far as to say he was better than his role in Snatch. Mélanie Laurent > Diane Kruger.

9.5/10 from me (keeping in mind I have TDK 8/10) - you really should go see this. But not if you're queasy.

haven't seen it but a mate of mine told me that all the action is in the trailer and the rest of the movie is just 2 hours of jibber-jabber confirm/deny?

no no, I'd agree with this. I just wouldn't call it pointless or that it's a bad thing. It's normal in a Tarantino film, like I said. His movies are all about dialogue.

but a mate of mine told me that all the action is in the trailer
and the rest of the movie is just 2 hours of jibber-jabber

Your friend sucks dicks. Big fat black ones.

(lonnng scenes that just go on and on to the point you're starting to think "wtf is the point of this?",

Didn't get that impression at all.

this movie is a goddamn masterpiece!

Tripple Confirmed!

Mélanie Laurent > Diane Kruger.

Confrmed again!

This my friends is the best movie I've seen all year, I challenge any other film to beat it (I haven't seen D9 yet, but it doesn't look like it'll be my thang).

Everything about this movie is fantastic, authentic.

Nah, saw it at Chermside.

And you probably paid $11tybillion for the "luxury" as well.

yeah I'd have to say that Inglorious Basterds just beats D9 by a nose.

^ I saw it at chermside gold class, $12.50!

free magnum goldclass upgrade ftw

Yeah IG was a fantastic movie. Saw it last night. Long but it wasn't tedious and the dialogue scenes didn't slow it down at all.

Great movie! As some have said, it was long and there *were* long scenes, but no matter how little happens in them they're still so visually stunning and even the sound is great. Never felt bored for a second and loved every minute of it.

f***ing terrible movie utter trash complete waste of money. f***ing snore.

Every moment of those long dialogue scenes was tense. Kept me wanting more, especially the one with that jew hunter prick.

And you probably paid $11tybillion for the "luxury" as well.

Nah I agree, Chermside is a ripoff and I don't usually go there. Usually go to Carindale/Cineplex (have one of those $6 ticket cards for Carindale).

Anyway, they have some promotion on where you can use 50 cinebuzz points to see a movie (usually need 100... 1 movie = 10 points). So saw it in "vmax" for $0 ($16 or something outrageous normally).

I went last night to VMAX at Chermers and it was 11 bucks. Cheap Tuesday.

Inglourious Basterds is one of those movies that you need to see in an old style cinema like Eldorado Or Regal Twin. Only paid like $7.50 for the movie last night at Eldorado

f***ing terrible movie utter trash complete waste of money. f***ing snore.

Nice troll

it's a good movie but in terms of popular appeal and relevance pulp fiction is better.

inglorious basterds feels a lot like tarantino just indulging himself.

Great movie! As some have said, it was long and there *were* long scenes,

I think this is part of what makes Tarantino such a great director, he hasn't lost the ability to create suspense
not many movies do that these days, its all action/fast paced/squeeze as much plot in as possible

That scene in the basement tavern, the dialogue in that was amazing. So detailed and engrossing. He can write a dialogue I will give him that.

All of those long scenes were great, I didn't grow tired of them at all, I wanted more!

I'm on a thread reviving spree, someone stop me!@#

He gave it 4 stars despite tearing it apart so i guess he liked it. I thought it was s*** basically for all the reasons he described. Except he forgot "long drawn out tarantino wank fest"

There were some good bits but overall it was very boring. But not as bad as Jackie Brown or Death Proof.

Except he forgot "long drawn out tarantino wank fest"

False.

Jackie Brown was f***ing awesome. Haven't seen Death Proof.

Wow. I didn't think anyone out there liked Jackie Brown. I actually didn't think it was physically possible for anyone to think there were any redeeming features in that movie at all.

I actually didn't think it was physically possible for anyone to think there were any redeeming features in that movie at all.

Are we talking about the same movie here? You didn't see Samuel L Jackson?

Some people like the long scenes, I know I do. I'm usually engrossed in them because of the dialogue, attention to detail, and the way they're filmed. Same goes for any movie/director as long as it's decent because I don't require fast-paced things happening all the time to get entertainment from something. Kevin Smith is another great example of providing long scenes with awesome dialogue and not much else happening.

Amen.

Having almost finished Inglourious Basterds I have to say that it is one of the most enjoyable films that I have seen this year and I rate it in my top 4 for 2009 overall.

This thread is tempting me to drag out my Jackie Brown DVD and check if it is better than I remember - but I feel I should watch Basterds again before then just to be sure.

The movie was pretty good imo

Tarantino wank chat scenes are ok now and then, but at a couple of points (restaurant with jew girl/jew hunter, cinema foyer with jew hunter, pretty much anything with jew hunter) was kinda exhausting and annoying and i just wanted it to be over

ending seemed dumb too

wish tarantino would just f*** off sometimes

f*** you and your dog

I f***ing love the long scenes. Anything with the jew hunter was awesome. Meh I even though death proof was pretty good. I like his style. Like michael mann and shoot outs, I dig Tarantino's style.

Ive heard the opinion floating around that - a movie is only as good as it's main villan.

If that's the case then Inglourious Basterds succeds with all kinds of awesomeness due to the performance of Christophe Waltz (The Jew Hunter).

the jew hunter made the movie

brad pitt was just a side character, it was ALL ABOUT THE JEW HUNTER

he's a brilliant actor

Jew Hunter made me feel nervous everytime he was on camera, a brilliant performance!

only just saw this last night... fkn awesome !@#!! so well filmed! every set was brilliant... massive, massive attention to detail. totally agree with everyone about the performance of the jewhunter... pure evil :D the scene where he drinks the glass of milk in the frenchman's house & you can hear his leather creaking as he leans back... so well done! the projection of shoshanna's laughing face onto the smoke in the theatre as the nazis burned & got machine-gunned as f***ing awesome!#!

the scene where he drinks the glass of milk in the frenchman's house

:D
The tenseness is rivaled only by the scene where they're in the restaurant eating the strudel where he orders the glass of milk and you're left thinking "Hah! Is he onto her or is he not?!"

Awesome movie. The dialog was long but never boring. Honestly, if you people don't like drawn out dialog scenes why go see a Tarantino flick?

The tenseness is rivaled only by the scene where they're in the restaurant eating the strudel where he orders the glass of milk and you're left thinking "Hah! Is he onto her or is he not?!"

haha i rekn! especially when the jewhunter says "there was another question i was going to ask you...... *long pause*.... but i forgot what it was" :D i let out a little giggle of relief :P~

watched this last nite.

in a word, AWESOME.

i can take or leave tarantino films (death proof was a shocker), but he did awesome work on this moofie.

GREAT dialogue, some of the best in a moofie evar i reckon, great characters, good story, really well told.

wow, thats 3 moofies in a row ive seen that ive liked, i must be going soft (avatar, fantastic mr fox and inglourious basterds)

The dialogue was good.. but 45minute scene for 2 minutes of action had me sighing by the end of it.

i was a little suprised that the actual basterds themselves got so little screen time, we got to know none of them

but i was into the story so wasnt too worried about it

i rofled heartily at bj novaks lengthy screen time, with almost no dialgoue at the end

I saw this about a week ago and I thought it was a little meh.

Not bad but I wouldn't rush back to see it again.

And some of the gory scenes just seemed to be in there for the shock factor rather than adding anything of value to the movie.

Oh and the lack of nazi security at the film screening was a bit of a joke, wasn't it?

I haven't seen it in a while but didn't the Jew Hunter sell them out?

Hmmm maybe... buut surely when there a important dudes inside you'd have some bad dudes outside. The cinema guy just wonders around locking doors and the Basterds do pretty much the same.

Now you mention the Jew hunter, I thought he did a great job (the actor).

he was awesome <3

I saw this about a week ago and I thought it was a little meh.

I found the movie really, really boring. Just watched it last weekend. Acting was fine, but I have to admit I picked up a book for portions of the movie and even browsed the web at points...Really glad I didn't fork over money at the cinema for this.

same as twisted. couldnt even finish it because i was so bored.

i was a little suprised that the actual basterds themselves got so little screen time, we got to know none of them

You mean the thing that the whole movie was about? The thing that the trailer showed the whole movie being of? The Basterds running amok f***ing up Nazis? The actual TITLE of the movie and the things that all the starts in the movie were and they got about 10% of screen time?

Yeh I noticed that too

I just saw this, great movie, loved the jew hunter's dialogue particularly, he could say so much with so little; "..a glass of milk."

And this was a good thread to top it off with, apart from all the noobs that didn't get the film.

I didn't think it was so great. Started off strong, and the basement scene was one of the best sequences tarantino has ever put together, but the third act dragged along much too long, it ended ridiculously, there was abrupt closure, and despite the fact I know Tarantino has a thing for dialogue, i would have much preferred more action - he's proven more than capable of directing action and frenetic chaos, and this seemed like a solid platform for that.

Tarantino really is overrated. I loved the Bills, but I don't think Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs are that good. Deathproof was cool, but only for that film's end sequence.

Tarantino really is overrated. I loved the Bills, but I don't think Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs are that good.

just goes to show how different some people's tastes in movies are because i thought exactly the opposite... pulp fiction & reservoir dogs are classics... the killbills were like the hollywood execs said 'ok quentin you can do your s***ty tribute to asian kung-fu movies' & he over-indulged himself. they were aweful. IMO!

if you just wanted to see yanks killing nazis ad nauseam go watch some old 'combat!' series from the 60's ... you can watch vic morrow machinegun nazis till your eyes bleed.

it's quite humourous that in inglourious basterds the nazi's were sterio-typically portrayed as evil because they just wanted to see a movie where a nazi gunned down yankees :D hah pwned.

Yeh I noticed that too

This was the downfall of the movie for me, I think it's just a result of misrepresentation and wrong expectations.

Because of all that, I went in expecting something else and as a result wasn't letting myself get invested in much of what I thought were just side-plots - auxiliary to the actual movie that I thought was about a dirty dozen crew that went around f***ing up nazis.

So as good as the dialogue may well have been, I found myself just being completely bored whenever the Frenchie Jew girl was prattling on and just wanting to fast forward. Just totally lost interest and like Twisted only tuned back in when stuff was actually happening.

I can definitely see what some people think was good about the film, but yeah I think my experience was spoiled by misrepresentation.

id just be happy with going with the original name

Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied France

which i think would have fit the moofie much better

I watched the film with no preconceptions and quite liked it.

Much better than the Bills for me.

yer, i wasnt impressed with kill bill at all

Much better than the Bills for me.

This. Kill Bill really doesn't have any points to it, I can't see why he decided it had enough to make 3 full features length films out of it... I enjoyed Inglourious Basterds though, I must say, for me Pulp fiction still has slight edge over it. There are just so many classic lines from Pulp Fiction :)

Def Pulp Fiction for the win.

agreed

Kill Bill 1 was alright and Kill Bill 2 was complete garbage. Death Proof was s***house as well.

I thought Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were awesome movies. His best work along with True Romance.

Pulp Fiction is number 1 by a country mile, and then Inglorious Basterds number 2.

Never saw Deathproof but Reservoir Dogs was arrogant and Kill Bill 1 & 2 whilst entertaining really had no passion in them.

the only Tarantino movie I've seen which didn't bore the living f*** out of me was From Dusk till Dawn
