Why so much hype?
i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
View MoreThis film is more serious and deeper than most Tarantino films, but it still has his fingerprints all over it. Most of these stars go to Christoph Waltz, who plays a character who is both terrifying and entertaining. Colonel Hans Landa is the reason to watch this movie. However, I found it disturbing how the Nazis are portrayed as evil because of their blind hatred toward all Jews, and yet we, as an audience, are asked to blindly hate every German associated with the Nazi party.
View MoreIn Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same. It does look like good work has been put on creating the enviroment around 'Inglourious Basterds' unfortunately the same can't be said about the script. The perfomances were good for the most part especially Waltz but there were also some disappointing one's from Brad Pitt mostly, the film is very long and it drags alot in certain areas, the story was kind of interesting but rather disappointing considering the era that it takes place. To be honest i would advice to watch 'Valkyrie' since it's a better WWII movie in everything. (5/10)
View MoreIf you like good dialogue, you will love this movie. All of the actors do a good job, but Christoph Waltz makes such a great and interesting villain, and all that while acting in 3 or 4 different languages! It's amazing how it can be so funny and so scary/disturbing right after that, or even at the same time! Some of the memorable scenes are obvious tributes or homages, but never bland rip-offs!
View MoreThere are no heroes in this alternate-history WWII tale, a story in which the protagonists are as brutal and cruel as the Nazis they intend to destroy. 'Inglourious Basterds (2009)' manages to last two-and-a-half hours despite only containing a handful of real scenes and when it works, it really works. The dancing dialogue draws tension from the simplest of situations, but it can lend to a generally slower feeling earlier on. Luckily, that subsides quickly so, despite the fact that there isn't an incredible amount of substance - though, more than in Tarantino's previous two attempts, 'Kill Bill (2003-2004)' and 'Death Proof (2007)', it is still an entertaining experience overall. 7/10
