This trailer reminds me of the 10th mountain division. U.S. going into the mountains to recruit outlaws, lumberjacks, the baddest of the bad mofos in the United States to take on the Nazis.

I doubt I'll be in a hurry to see this movie though.

Inglourious Basterds is a 2009 war film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and released in August 2009 by The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures. It was filmed in several locations, among them Germany and France, beginning in October 2008. The title of the film was inspired by Italian director Enzo Castellari's 1978 movie The Inglorious Bastards, but it is not a remake of that film, being set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, and depicting a plan to assassinate the Nazi leadership.

this movie isn't a remake in any way-its a completely original screenplay written by QT...

Its got an 88% on RT, its going to be badass-just don't expect a action packed movie because its a dialogue/story driven movie...if you go in expecting KB action, it's not happening. Heard the script is amazing.

I'm not sure if this is going to pay off. Jackie Brown was weak sauce, Kill Bill was great, but slowed in a lot of places.

and then there's Brad Pitt trying to act....

I'm looking forward to new quirky lines and characters though.

Just got back from watching it. I loved it. Brad Pitt was awesome. I didn't see one scene with Pitt in it that dissapointed.

The talking in the film dragged at times in different scenes and that's expected with QT. But man the awesome scenes were really awesome. Go watch it.

08-21-2009, 04:53 AM

Wow, love it, loved it, loved it. Like i figured not a ton of action, but the dialogue and story were awesome. Waltz who plays the main bad guy Col Landa was amazing, pitt did a good job, pretty much great acting all around. I mean for a film this length and a lot of dialogue I figured i would get bored but I didn't want the damn movie to end-lots of funny parts in it. Also, I haven't been in a theatre that cheered as much as this in a long time-i rarely do, i think its kind of dumb but i even clapped a few times.

Ive seen a ton of movies this year and Im going to say this is my favorite with the hurt locker right there and district 9 and a few others behind that. Its seriously that rare movie that comes along every once in awhile that reminds you why I/we love movies. I highly recommend it to everyone-you won't be dissapointed.

PS try to see it in a crowded theatre makes it even more fun

I figured the horrible accent was on purpose, in order to highlight the somewhat campiness of the whole movie/idea.

lefty

08-21-2009, 08:38 AM

I'm pretty sure its not a full remake. Quentin throws in his own creativity and makes it his own film. He adapts a lot of part from earlier films to. So to say its a remake, to an extent it is, but its a lot different.

It's not a full remake.

And I'm really looking forward to the Tarantino touch.

Oh, and 12 bastards is actually a U.S movie, my bad

spurs_2108

08-21-2009, 12:53 PM

I was kinda disapointed. I was expecting more from the basterds too. Saying they needed to return with nazi scalps and only showing a few scenes of them removing them... I expected a lot more action. It had its funny parts, but I was just expecting something epic to happen. I thought Waltz stole the show. He is oscar worthy. I'd still say its probably towards the bottom on my QT top list.

I loved every minute of it. There was one song that felt out of place and unnecessary, which was surprising because I normally love Tarantino's use of music, but I otherwise have no real complaints.

I must admit, I'm surprised by the people who wanted more action or more gore from this film, as if they've come to expect it from Tarantino. I think his films have a reputation for being, or are remembered as being, far more violent than they actually are. With the exception of Kill Bill v. 1, his pace has always been fairly slow and deliberate -- long stretches of dialogue punctuated with short bursts of action/violence -- and this fit right in with that style.

I liked it a lot... even though knowing that a twist or two was going to occur I could see the major twist coming from a ways out.

I'd say the only parts that really dragged for me were some of the scenes with the cinema owner and nazi hero. All the other dialogue heavy scenes were filled with tension and were leading somewhere..... also maybe parts of the card game with the drunks dragged a bit... but the 2nd half made up for it.

Saw it. Loved it. Vintage Tarantino.

From the dialogue, to the close ups, to the sound track.

This one will rank with Resovoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction. Loved Tarantino paying repect to Samuel Jackson and Harvey Keitel for the use of their voices. Nice touch of going old school (of course) with David Bowie's song.

Christoph Waltz playing Col. Hans Landa was strong. Brad Pitt was excellent and I am not a Brad Pitt fan.

For those of you who like to taste your coffee, you'll love this movie.

Not enough Basterd in Inglorious Basterds. I expected a little bit more in your face killing in this movie. As usual, Quinten over-kills the dialogue scenes, but that's what separates him from other directors. I loved the German Lieutenant and his mannerisms, I felt he carried the show, and would have liked to see more of a strategic battle between him and the Basterds.

Half of the movie was in sub-titles, so if you don't like that, then you don't want to see this flick. Overall, this was a funny movie, and I'll catch it on bluray.

Pretty much my take as well. Overall I enjoyed the movie, but I too was expecting more 'Basterd' in it. Not simply showing more violence by them, but more in terms of developing who they are and how they got their reputation. First you get Aldo Raine giving his speech about forming the unit and then all of a sudden they're interrogating some prisoners and everyone in Germany has heard of them. I thought that was way too huge of a leap there. The movie needed something inbetween those two scenes to help tie everything together.

About two thirds into the movie, a narrator's voice speaks and it is that of Jackson. He was not credited nor do I think Keitel was who was the General's voice on the phone at the end of the movie.

Exactly.

I love the song on its own, and liked the sequence in general, but it just felt really out of place with the rest of the music in the film. Had the visuals been backed by more of Morricone's work, for example, I think it would have worked better, but the Bowie song just took me out of the movie for a bit.

Sam Jackson was used for the brief moments of narration. When the audience is given the story of Hugo Steiglitz, for example.

I did enjoy this movie, but the ending caught me off-guard, with the theatre (won't say more to prevent spoilers).

The movie had a pretty solid routine of tension building, mini-climax, tension building, mini-climax, and then the end comes and it just is what it is. The ending seemed a little over the top as well, but that's just QT doing his thing, I guess.

Great movie, but I don't think it's at the top of my list so far this year.

08-29-2009, 09:20 PM

finally got around to seeing this, and really enjoyed it. It's Tarantino, so I was expecting 15 minute long scenes of people just talking and didn't mind it. The tension in some of those scenes was great, and the Hans Landa character was awesome. When all he has to do is order a glass of milk and it sends a chill up your spine, that's good stuff.

saw it this weekend & enjoyed it. Thought it was Brad Pitt's best performance. I kinda got the feeling that I was watching a Tarantino tribute to the Cohen Bros, though. There's some really screwball stuff in this one, which made it more uneven than I'm used to a QT movie being. Pulp Fiction had some serious twists and turns plot-wise, but tonally I thought it was much more consistant than Basterds.

Just rented it, never read the reviews, not even this thread, or saw more than one trailer for it. I had absolutely no idea there was going to be a peformance like the one Waltz gave in this movie....what an absolutely brilliant job.

First thing I did after the movie was over was go look and see who the hell it was playing that role and try and figure out why I had never heard of him before.

In a movie full of scalpings, knifings, baseball bats to the head...by far the most chilling scene was a guy ordering a glass of milk. That's pretty amazing. He definitely deserves an Oscar for that performance. Deserves the Best Actor Oscar for it.

This movie was a cut above most of Tarantino's efforts and the performance of Waltz is the main reason why.
