Bloody good, as you would expect from Tarantino. Very much like Pulp Fiction in some ways, and features a few familiar voices (but not faces) of actors from Pulp Fiction, but is still very much it's own movie. I would have to say that's most I've enjoyed a movie in a long time.

I enjoyed District 9 but it left too much open (for the sequel), whereas Inglorious Basterds is finished done and dusted with a few minor things left unanswered but they are not of much importance to the completion of the story line.

Brad Pitt does a great job, and there are quite a few twist and turns, and also a few good doses of humour thrown in with a typical Tarantino flavour. Sorry Indy but this movie leaves Valkyrie completely blown to pieces, both in story line, execution and overall quality of acting and final production.

It would have been nice to see Christopher Walken mixed in their somehow but I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Well worth a watch, infact I think I might go see it again - only another 8 times and then it'll be on par with Pulp Fiction!

I thought it was hilarious but there were times it dragged out for too long.

I did think that at one or two points you were held in suspense a little too long. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Tarantino flix are kinda strange the first time round for me.Pulp Fiction was the first of his I saw at the movies.

Thought it was weird that Vincent was wasted in the toilet then next thing he's alive in another scene!

It wasn't till my flatmate at the time had an 'illegal' copy (on VHS back then)and used to play it all the time and I had no choice but to keep watching it....stoned...

We'd have parties and all our mates would say quotes from that movie all the time.I went and brought the dialogue book from that movie and memorised every line!

Funny how a few bourbons and spliffs makes you forget when it really counts!

Not sure if I'll see Inglorious Basterds....ahhh fukkit!I gotta MovieMaxx card so $10 tickets ain't all bad!

You are aware it is a Tarantino movie, surely?

It's one of his trademarks.

I did have a chuckle at some of the people in the theatre who had obviously come in expecting a generic Hollywood run-of-the-mill action movie. Those fools.

Pure gold, this movie was. :niceone:

Yeah i had a wince at some of the scenes, but did enjoy it, its one ill have to see again, in comfort of home not in crappy seating as in our picture theatre.

Its a real shame as i like going out to the movies but im more inclined to think im way more comfy at home in decent seating, pause it go to the loo get another drink etc.

My nephew was undecided whether he enjoyed it or not, i think he was over analizing it as far as the graphic scenes, and thought the german getting bashed over the head with the baseball bat was in such poor taste. Interesting comming from a 20 year old who loves guns, and thoughts of moving onto join the army.

Has he seen any other Tarantino movies?

Yes, likes of hostel, pulp fiction, jackie brown, kill bill 1,2,. He really was a bit taken back went the germans dudes right hand man got blasted away at the end after they had surrendered.

It kind of surprised me as my nephew is right into warfare, joined a long sword club in Sydney.

I think he could be a softee deep down and reality of joining the army may be dawning that not all sides play fair.

Still i enjoyed the movie, its very un PC for sure.

No, it's about a group of American soldiers working in a covert group doing to the Nazi's what some of the Nazi's were doing to Jews at the time - i.e being inhumane, executing them etc etc

Bit slow off the mark for this film write up.

Wow I loved this film went with a mate of mine and we were both transfixed by the story line, and with Bradders all the way, nice to se hose Nazi's get some back eh, and the twists and turns, blimey it was like sitting on a merry go round, be woowed by the constant changes in momentum of the film.

Loved it Loved it Loved it.

Miss you Dudes, Miss you Dudes, Miss you Dudes.:crybaby: gonna do a write up on the first couple of rides out I have had.

Ciao4now
