Inglourious Basterds

A very good film. Funny and tense moments through out. A lot of talking but it keeps your attention. Also, had some great characters; Col. Hans Landa and Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz were great to watch. Great writing from Tarantino as usual and nicely shot. Definately worth checking out.

Michael Fassbender is in this. How was he?

Didn't realize it was the guy from Hunger. He was pretty good, only in it for a little bit but it was a great scene.

That's surprising as he is one of the most talented new actors out there. And is Eli Roth in many scenes? If this is the case will give it a miss.

Nah, he's in a few but nothing that messes the film up. I was a bit worried about that too. No one really had more scenes than anyone, it was pretty evenly spread, like I was expecting to see Pitt over exposed but that didn't happen.

This isn't the film your dad would have taken you to see. But it's the film Tarantino always wanted to make!

Just finished my 3rd screening of this glorious film. Similarities abound with Kill Bill, but that's a good thing. Different genre, but equally beautiful in its telling of the tale. I loved the references to Kill Bill. Like watching a war film from my youth, yet a little more bloody, violent and unpredictable. And classic Tarantino script and directing.

Inglourious Basterds is to be savoured like a fine wine. An excellent cast from intense Denis Menochet, alas an actor that we never see enough of. A brilliant Christoph Waltz who I now need to track down his previous work. Ditto for Mélanie Laurent. And the read-me-like-a-book Brad Pitt. All perfect in their roles. And then there is the script, wow! Ten years in the making and likely the most personal script Tarantino has yet written. It truly is classic Tarantino, something to savior and enjoy. Hence my 3rd screening

The framing of this is a work of art. A joy for the senses.

A must for Tarantino fans. A must for WWII genre fans. And a must for those not easily repulsed by unnecessary violence, carnage and mayhem. Like me

For the screen time, extremely good. But you can't help thinking this was a role for Tim Roth, and also had Simon Pegg cast in. But I have to say he was probably the better man for the role.

That would be a shame. He beefed up for this one, and did a great job all around. In a manic way the role was perfect for him. Well supported and never made me cringe. Sure I like him behind a camera more. But he was fine here.
