My favorite part was Hiter's face was being shot to all hell. I hadn't seen a Tarantino film before this and... yeah my mind was blown. Just like the guy who got his head beaten in by Bear Jew. I didn't know blood looked like fruit punch.
The film had some great scenes in it but it really didn't work very well as whole. QT hasn't really made a brilliant film since Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction.

Really? I thought it worked quite well together.
I'll grant you that he doesn't precisely forge new ground with this one. What he does do is give you everything he's good at, at full force. I particularly love his intricate dialogue and tension-building.

The plot was pretty basic, none of the characters had depth, they were all just abit flat for me. As I said some of the scenes, mainly the opening scene and the bar scene, were awesome but the rest of it really didn't work well together. I worry about people who seem to think that this film was a masterpiece, it wasn't even the best war film out in the month it came out in. It wouldn't be in the top 10 films I have seen this year yet alone of all time.
Inglourious Basterds is not technically a war movie. Granted, It is set during WWII, but it doesn't have share the common tropes that usually constitute a war film. Tarantino said it best when he described it as, and I quote, "a spaghetti western but with World War II iconography". For those who don't know what the latter are, spaghetti westerns are western films (as in cowboys, guns, etc) made either in Italy or by an Italian director. The best known example of this is The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. When I found out about that quote after seeing the movie, my whole viewpoint of it changed.

That's the truth. I was also pleasantly surprised by Brad Pitt. He's really not a bad actor, in spite of his prettyboy-ness. He does accents really well. He did a great accent in Snatch.

Love it! But shouldn't his lines be all one word because of how frickin' fast he talks?
It's not that hard to understand when you're used to it - some of my family speaks like this(they're not irish gypsies for the most part, but the particular type of Irish accent they have sounds very much like it - a thick, thick county cork accent)
Well, I was late to see this movie, but I must say that Christoph Waltz was brilliant. The way his character messes with people makes for such great cinema; I won't forget the milk or the shoe for some time.

The mental image of Goebbels screwing the interpreter chick is never going to leave me, unfortunately.
Btw, will anyone else see BJ Novak in a different way now? Being the Temp from The Office to a Nazi Killer...

I just finished watching it for the first time and I'm at a loss for words. My mind is blown.
I saw this movie twice total in theaters and had no regrets, but it doesn't even compete for best Tarantino movie imo, forget masterpiece.
What?
Dags? You like dags?
Oh, dogs. Sure, I like dags.
