Same here Jayflix. It s as if the Basterds didnt figure very highly on Tarantino s list of ideas to develop in a movie called.... Yeah. I honestly think he s been gassed up so much that he pretty much thinks any idiotic idea that occurs to him to insert into one of his movies will be considered by the public as the Word.

I thought the movie was pretty good, excellent dialogue, great plots and charactors. My only problem with the movie was the ending. Ok, killing Hitler was cool and all, but c'mon, everyone knows that didnt happen in real life so when it happened in the movie, I was disappointed. I think it would have been better if there was some twist in which Hitler was feeling sick and had to leave the theatre in the middle of the film, or the Hitler at the theatre was actually a body lookalike or something like that. I was expecting some twist all the way up to the credits and it just didnt come. Not that I thought this movie was based on a true story by any means, I just think they could have based it a little more on reality...
That and the Basterds deserved more screentime, I would have liked to see a few more well planned ambushes and atleast 100 Nazi's getting killed. That one captured Nazi pointed out the location of the other squad, I think there should have been a scene showing the Basterds taking them out. It was a good movie but it left me wanting more and feeling a bit disappointed with the Hitler kill...

thats boring
hitler survives in every single world war 2 movie
leave it to Tarantino to take the leap and have him killed...and how satisfying was it, watching hitler get his face torn up by a machine gun. YESSSS!!!
this is probably top 5 movie of OUR Generation
its Tarantino's best movie yet
the dialogue was increeeeedible

First off. BORING Cause Hitler lives in every other movie? I honestly can't think of a fictional film that has Hitler in it?
Secondly thanks for me reading that, I really couldn't get into this movie.. I tried and tried to watch it but the "Plot" which could have been narrowed down to 30 mins was so over whelmingly stupid...
Well anyway the BASTARD Parts were good and entertaining, but too far in between. It reminds me how the remake of the Thin Red Line was marketed as a war movie..
Two cents out.

I actually went to see this in theatres. Kinda wishing I hadn't now.
Really, any good scenes were few and far between whereas Tarantino spent WAY to much time on insignificant scenes that had absolutely no bearing on the movie. Without spoiling the movie for others, lets just say I spent alot of time wondering when he would get to the point and actually show the Basterds. Brad couldn't have had more that 15 minutes of screen time the entire film.
Normally, if I like a film I'll pick up the DVD but this one is a one time viewing for me. Unfortunately, I ate up the hype and spent hard earned money on it instead of just watching a cheap cam copy like I should have.
My recommendation; if you have trouble sleeping and run out of medication, this'll do it for you, but if you're expecting some kind of epic film, save your cash and search QS for a copy of Kill Bill.
I give it a solid 2/10.

I couldnt agree more! i loved it, it was perfect!
from reading all of the comments on this topic its clear that the people that didnt enjoy the film are complaining about the lack of screen time the Basterds were given. it seems that they wanted a fast, bloody action war film, that they could just sit and vegetate in front of, but instead were given a brilliant piece of cinema, that GOD FORBID you actually have to think about! and in my opinion the Basterds are not the stars of the film, Christoph Waltz's "The Jew Hunter" is. Definatley the best film of the year, and one of Tarantinos finest.

I think you completely missed the point about why people didn't like it. It's not because it was low on action, although it was billed as an action flick when I bought my ticket. It's not just that the Basterds didn't get any screen time, although Pitt had a total of 15 minutes the entire film. It's because it doesn't take 20 minutes to explain a glass of milk, or another 15 on a bar room scene that contained roughly a dozen pieces of dialogue and little to no relation to the plot.
If Tarantino had actually shortened these scenes to the point where the film was actually interesting it would have been 45 sitcom not a 153 minute vallium.

What was there to think about? Really it wasn't deep, the plot line was simple and basic.
Tarintino has gone the way of M. Knight Whatever his name is and George Lucas..
I think Hollywood needs to set a limit on how much these guys make.. Up man you've made your 6 million, it's time to get an other poor kid with vision..
I feel like Xibit should have been in this movie saying "I hear you like movies, so we're going to put people making and watching a movie in your movie"
I thought some of the scenes and dialogue was fantastic, in particular the opening scene with Landa and any other scene he was in. I loved the scene in the underground bar and everyone playing 20 questions. very tense and well acted. The bastard scenes were nothing special and they didn't really figure much.
I read the screenplay and unfortunately a lot of cool scenes were cut out like when the two basterds dressed as italians are sitting amongst germans in the cinema and are trying to communicate to each other without attracting attention so they talk by itialian-ising english words (you-a should go-a setti off-a de bomb-a now-a ) to make themselves appear italian but they start getting confused as to what each other means. It read very funny.
Another good scene that didn't make it in the movie was one of the basterds goes to the jax in the cinema. He's in one of the stalls and a german walks in and takes a piss. you then see him wash his hands and take off his hat to water his hair. the camera pans up and you see a swastika etched on his forehead - obviously one of the basterd's previous victims. The basterd can't see this but is aware of his presence. He puts back on his hat and exits. Then the basterd exits. The two of them outside are walking to meet each other - then the soldier suddenly eyes the basterd...
All in all I liked the movie and most of the characters but then end was crappy. I was expecting a twist of some sort. It was just an orgy of bloodshed - pretty boring. Then to think Landa would entrust himself to the basterds after showing himself to be such a careful clever man was just bogus.

I also, unfortunately, paid for a ticket to see this. Three things 1. I love Tarintino movies, all of them, not this one. 2. I love anything that revolves around WWII. 3. I have thought Brad Pitt was an excellent actor since Legends of the Fall. I wasn't looking for "just" another action flick. I was looking for a Tarintino action flick. With the style that he brings to his movies. A funky flick with cool bad ass people in it. Where was the witty dialogue, or the creative disembodiment? I hated the Hitler in this movie. OK kill him, but do not make one of the most capable mass murders known for giving phenomenal speeches look like a spaz. People should remember him as a scary MoFo because he was a very scary MoFo. I also did not like that the Germans tolerated a black man in France. German's rounded up many other races besides the Jews. To me it deletes the atrocities against them. This is a Tarintino movie that I will try to put behind me, and try to forgive him for making. Every preview shows the Basterds. I have yet to see one that shows the struggle of a woman whose family was killed by the Germans. I came in expecting The Dirty Dozen. Instead I got a Space Balls version of that movie. Come on who would go to a Nazi party trying to speak Italian like that? Considering the Italians were part of the Axis of Evil, you might think that a few Nazis might speak Italian.

Sorry, I gotta chime in again. I ve read critics say that they found the suspension of logic refreshing in this movie. I think they re either afraid of bad mouthing T or just straight up dumb. This movie was just childish. Ok, all the nazi high command goes to watch a movie and there goes a black man chaining up the front door. Yep, that could happen. I ll leave it at that. Those who thought the movie sucked won't require me to go on. Others might need an explanation.

I did like the movie, the dialogue was very well done and the opening scene and the bar scene were very tense. I just really didnt like the killing Hitler part. In the time leading up to it, I was expecting him to get out of it so when it happened, I was just like WTF and overall puzzled as to what I just saw. I know the movie wasnt based on a true story, but it didnt have to rewrite history. Theres plenty of mystery and mythology surrounding the Nazi's, I wouldnt doubt if there were groups like the Basterds in real life, I just think they could have done a better job of inserting a fictional event in a real setting. Hell, if it wasnt for the Hitler killing part, I might have believed that it was loosely based on a true story.
Seeing that death just changes all the rules, it makes anything possible. Why not just have hitler killed by ninjas or trained birds since its all completely fake anyway. Why not go to the Saw Universe, get Jigsaw and have him design traps for nazis.

you cant be serious
the intro scene, the bar scene, and the restaurant scene are probably some of the greatest scenes ever written
there's so much detail in them, and the dialogue was incredible
just watching Landa talk, with all his little physical gestures was like taking your time with some deliciously tasting desert
Michael Fassbender was incredible as the British undercover

Sep 18 2009, 06:27 AM
Just like most of Tarantino's work... some of his scenes are incredibly entertaining and others not so much. From dusk till dawn is a perfect example of a horrible movie with some brilliant scenes.
I would describe Inglorious bastards as a good movie with some excellent scenes and some that are corny and others that drag on too long.
FYI, I only really liked the last scene in 4 rooms... but the previous scenes provided the setup.
Guess that is Tarantino's hallmark.. you have to wade through some of his tripe to find his treasures.

Sep 18 2009, 08:14 AM
Ok. The bar scene is a classic, I won't take that away from him. The intro had potential but it became so obvious what would happen that it lost its color for me. You re right Aceron that he s got hits and misses in a single movie but I guess I was so disappointed because I was expecting so much more. The guy is not an idiot but sometimes I ve no clue wtf. Maybe it is part of his charm for some people, I just think he could do so much better. Or not. I dont know anymore.

This was a remake, and poorly done... kinda sad when a top box office "remake" by T doesnt even touch the b-rated original. If T was the grindhouse "afficianado" he represents himself to be, he would have at least stuck to the main elements when doing this remake. Go watch the Original... its cheesey, b-rated italian action movie magic at its finest. I've been a fan of T for a while now, but sorry, this one fell flat on it's face in-as-far as "remakes" go.

Maybe I worded my reply incorrectly, so let me state what I meant to say.... as a remake, this movie flopped... cashing in on a previous movie's title to draw you in it IS lacking in creativity. If the movie had have been called something else, for example, "Ruthless dudes who kill nazi's" and been given reign to stand on its own legs, it would have gotten alot further. The movie in itself was ok, but as a proposed "remake", yes, it flopped.

As for V1p3r - I didn't even know this was a remake until you brought it to my attention, so your point fails.
Hell - How was this even a remake? Look at the plot for the old film -
QUOTE
Plot
Set in France during World War II, a group of American soldiers are in the process of being shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from desertion to murder. While they are being transported, a German air attack hits the convoy, killing most of the MPs and enabling five of the prisoners to escape.
The group decides to make their escape to neutral Switzerland, but on the way they end up volunteering for a commando mission to steal the new prototype gyroscope for the Nazi V2 with help of the French résistance (partisans). Somehow the team must sneak onto the most heavily guarded train in German territory, steal the Nazis' most precious military hardware, and bring it back to the Allies without getting arrested again by their own side.
Errrm... from what I've just read, that is a total different plot, hence not a remake. The only thing the two have in common is the title, and only the American title. The Italian title translates to 'That bloody armored train'.
Take Green Street for example. The American title was changed to Hooligans, where the UK version is called Green Street. I know of at least 3 movies in the past by the name of Hooligans - Does it mean that Green Street was a remake? Naaaaaaaay.

Edit: But but Tams it's American name was bastards erm but it wasn't it was glorious bastards erm but it wasnt,infact it had loads of bloody names due to the fact Americans decide what to see from the bloody titles of films (sad sad)
Bastardi senza gloria (Italy) (working title)
Counterfeit Commandos (USA) (reissue title)
Deadly Mission (USA) (video title)
G.I. Bro (USA) (recut version)
Hell's Heroes (USA) (video title)
The Dirty Bastard (Philippines: English title)
The Inglorious Bastards (USA)
So i guess you can take your pick from a number of American Titles 4 before they changed it again hoping to catch a few more $$$'s from Americans going on Title alone.

no, my point isn't fail.... obviously you didn't listen to early interviews with T, or read interviews he did when he said he was remaking the film... hows bout you check YOUR facts before you call someone fail. I didn't even say it was a bad movie, I just said that billed as a remake, it was a flop. And as for the many names for the original, most of those names was a different cut of the film aimed at different audiences... for example, G.I. Bro saw the film re-cut to make Williamson look like the lead to cater to the "blacksploitation" moviegoers and black audiences. I have seen every one of the diff cuts as well as the 09 release, so no brainfart here... You two are so damn busy trying to find some reason to come at me to realize that we are pretty much saying the same thing, and thats this:
Its not the same movie (yet T said it was going to be a remake in many early interviews)
The movie didn't suck, just needs to stand on its own legs instead of being billed as a remake (and it technically isn't)
in my original post, as I said earlier, I may not have worded things correctly. Just so its all clear so you two can end your little witch hunt here.... I went to the cinema expecting this to be a remake because the director remaking it said it was... there-in lies my disappointment... not with the movie itself, but with how it was sold to get me to go see it. I actually saw the movie twice, because my disappointment clouded my judgement the first time I saw it.
That should settle it.... and if it doesn't, then have fun patting yourselves on the back for borderline name calling and posting half-researched info in an effort to make yourselves look cooler.

youre an idiot for thinking it was supposed to be
Hows bout you watch the name calling, thats akin to coming at me personally, and last I checked I haven't disrespected you in that manner. This is the movie discussion section, not the act like a jackass section. And yes, he did say he was remaking the film... the first time I heard him say it was on the Howard Stern Show when he called in one day.... they asked him if he had any other projects in the works, and he said "Yes, I am remaking Inglorious Bastards" and howard said "Never heard of it" and T proceeded to tell him it was like the dirty dozen on steroids. Thats just the FIRST time he made mention that he was "remaking" the film that I heard with my own ears... there were several others, and a magazine interview had him make mention of it being a remake as well. If I can remember the magazine, I'll get my hands on the article.... its well known the original is one of his favorite films of all time.

Try and find the article Vipor as i'd like to read it,i follow pretty much all of his interviews & anything he has to say (sad i know) and as far as i know the only time he has mentioned that film is when he was talking about the title and he stated that both 'The Inglorious Bastards' and the 'Dirty Dozen' were insperations infact he went to great lenghts to point out that it was in no way a remake as remakes are not his thing.

no, my point isn't fail.... obviously you didn't listen to early interviews with T, or read interviews he did when he said he was remaking the film... hows bout you check YOUR facts before you call someone fail. I didn't even say it was a bad movie, I just said that billed as a remake, it was a flop. And as for the many names for the original, most of those names was a different cut of the film aimed at different audiences... for example, G.I. Bro saw the film re-cut to make Williamson look like the lead to cater to the "blacksploitation" moviegoers and black audiences. I have seen every one of the diff cuts as well as the 09 release, so no brainfart here... You two are so damn busy trying to find some reason to come at me to realize that we are pretty much saying the same thing, and thats this:
Its not the same movie (yet T said it was going to be a remake in many early interviews)
The movie didn't suck, just needs to stand on its own legs instead of being billed as a remake (and it technically isn't)
in my original post, as I said earlier, I may not have worded things correctly. Just so its all clear so you two can end your little witch hunt here.... I went to the cinema expecting this to be a remake because the director remaking it said it was... there-in lies my disappointment... not with the movie itself, but with how it was sold to get me to go see it. I actually saw the movie twice, because my disappointment clouded my judgement the first time I saw it.
That should settle it.... and if it doesn't, then have fun patting yourselves on the back for borderline name calling and posting half-researched info in an effort to make yourselves look cooler.

I never said you fail personaly, I said your point failed - HUGE difference. Not once have I 'name called' and as for the latter of your post - You're the one posting the half-researched info, saying this was a remake when quite cearly it wasn't, nor has anyone read or heard this was a remake until you brought it up. Funny that, ain't it?

Witch-Hunt? I have better things to do with my time then try and pick on someone on the fucking internet TYVM. Why would I have reason to 'come at you'? Lay off the 'omg stop picking on me' bullshit - I challenged your views, it's what forums are for.
No one knew it was a remake from what I've read. Every review I've read hasn't mentioned it's a remake either. None of my RL mates who went to see the movie knew it was a remake - Hence it stood on it's own two feet in my case, and for many people who don't browse the web looking at reviews. Nobody on this forum except you knew it was a remake too so...
.. I really want to see this interview.

Blah Blah Blah, whining, whining, whining.
This movie is near Classic status, near perfection.
There's not a flaw in any scene from the movie, they are all captivating.
The Score is amazing as expected from QT.
Hollywood could never write dialogue as sharp and entertaining as QT.
The plot is outrageous out of the ordinary fun again as expected from QT.
All the actors performances in the movie were superb.
The Oscars better give Christopher Waltz the "Best actor award" or I'm burning their theater down

The scenes yall whining about being too long must be the conversations scenes between Shochana and the officer but that was necessary to the plot.
It's a story with a lot of characters, QT has to tie all the knots and bring all the puzzle pieces together someway, hence the length of the movie.

There were some good scenes in this movie, but there were a few bad ones as well. Some of the actors did great jobs in their performances.
