Damn good film, not as bloody as I thought it would be, but good nonetheless.
I thought the french countryside "standoff" was awesome.
Likewise the scene in the "basement" bar was beyond reproach.
Loved it. The Christoph Waltz character was amazing. I've never seen anyone transition across so many languages, in perfect accent, and yet come across as the strange, evil character he played. Less blood and guts, though still lots of it, and my favorite Tarrantino film.
I like my gore and all, but I really don't understand how "more blood" makes for a better movie.
I didnt like the movie...
It was yet another anti-nazi movie that gets close to addressing the moral nuance of the situation, but ultimately misses. For that reason, it seemed a bit cliche to be honest, and much less than I would expect from the "god-who-wrote-and-directed-Pulp-Fiction."
The only good part of that movie was the french country opening scene - THAT is how you do dialogue.
My whole thing about the opening french countryside thing was that it took way too long and was WAY too much of a backstory, for something that (in the end) really wasn't all that important.
They built up the character too much, almost as if the movie was about her and not the Basterds....
Now, if that's the case, then it should have been called "French ***** vs Nazis".
what's wrong with fart jokes and tits?
As with all of Q's work you have to see it a few times to pick up some subtleties. Q is a freakin' genius of enormous proportions and the fact that he said prior to making this movie he hanged out with Brad Pitt on his French vineyard and Brad pulled out a huge chunk of Hash and they proceeded to burn away and talk about the movie has given me a new respect for Mr. Pitt. Apparently the after story is that Angie heard this on the radio and FREAKED out, Brad apparently promised her that he was not doing that anymore... get real *****, with what 8 kids he's only going to do that MORE!
Great movie, see it a few times... and as someone smart on here said, it's about the dialog and each individual scene more than the entire movie.
I havn't seen it yet, but I trust Q to deliver something worthwhile to my grey matter. I agree, it might take a while to sink in, but the guy is a true artist.
I saw an older one at redbox...is this a remake?
And there are Brits in it, too! You'll love it!

I haven't seen the movie, but it's this type of mindset that has ruined movies into what they are. All people want to see is explosions, gore, fart jokes and tits. Nobody wants to have to think about what they're seeing and it's sad.

Oh no.... Not the usual stuffed shirts waiting for America to save them again as usually depicted in hollywood war movies? ......Oh yes, this is Q. I'll just have to wait and see.
I hear that. I just hope everyhing doesn't come out in 3D from this point forward
I just expected more gore from the god who made KILL BILL.
Loved the movie.
At first, with the country scene, I was like WTH?? but once I realized what was going on I totally got into it. Yes, the basement scene was AWESOME.
My one *****, and this goes for other movies as well is the Close Captioning. When you have to do the close captioning stuff, PLEASE make the letters a different color than the background. I do not enjoy having to stop the movie cause feel I've missed something important.
YOU MISSED THE POINT!!!!!
Terrentino tore apart all the movies where the nazi's speak english (when it's supposed to be german) and how crappy that makes scenes where a good guy is posing as a german and trying to master the accent WHEN EVERYONE IS SPEAKING ENGLISH!!!!!!..........
Sorry, learn German. SWMBO is the same way as you.
