Tarantino does it again, his long awaited World War 2 epic, Inglourious Basterds is 24 carat movie gold. Incredibly wacky, totally unconventional and lovingly crafted, Tarantino completely pulls the rug out from under your feet any number of times and delivers numerously unexpected twists and turns. Tagged as a men on a mission movie, Basterds is so much more. Pretentious? without a doubt, over the top?, certainly, indulgent, hey this is a Tarantino flick but if you can find an all out more entertaining film than this, then you need to hang on to it for dear life, and as the final line reminds you "This might just be my masterpiece."

This movie was suprisingly good! The acting was very solid, and the characters themselves were outstanding. The plot kept you watching and interested the entire time, and there were plenty of twists and turns along the way. I did get lost a bit at times with the subtitles, but overall really enjoyed the film.

Antissemitas ou alienados à parte, é razoável supor que lavaríamos nossas almas do genocídio perpetrado pelos nazistas durante a II Guerra Mundial se houvesse a oportunidade da desforra. Mandando às favas a solenidade reverente comumente adotada em abordagens fílmicas do tema, ainda que nem por um segundo inconsequente, Tarantino articula um subversivo banho de sangue (derramado pelos hitleristas, promovido por judeus) que dá vazão a esse ímpeto expiatório da plateia. A face vingada de Laurent, em regozijo triunfante, projetada numa cortina de fumaça durante uma sessão de cinema em chamas, é memorável imagem-síntese numa obra de estética erudita e cerne rico em implicações significativas.

The revisionist history that some will clamor to study more than the actual unknown events of the Nazi War is an absolute, unquestioned blast. The Basterds supporting cast of The Bear Jew and other crazyies you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley are fun in typical Tarantino style as well. The odd thing about the film is that one keeps waiting for these Basterds to come unhinged, but Tarantino keeps an oddly tight lid on his rewritten chain of events. For once, Tarantino's uber-bizarre whackiness was a tad lacking. Thus, depending on your mood when viewing it, you may add or subtract a star while clapping for the fact that someone finally figured out how to use "Cat People (Putting Out Fires)" by The Thin White Duke perfectly!

This war epic from Tarantino delivers the most thrilling, blood-soaked and funny rewrite on history that one could hope for. Enormously entertaining and satisfying on every level.

What a terrific movie! It could've used just a little bit more blood guts though.

OH MY GOODNESS! This movie was utterly brilliant. Incredibly well executed in the classic Quentin Tarantino motif of making B-movies A+ movies. The best part of this movie was the performance of Christopher Waltz [Oscar-buzz, anyone?], as well as the writing and directing. I won't lie and say that this movie wasn't slow at points, but Tarantino has a way of sculpting a story out of such vignettes. A great film with a great list of cameos and international performers.
