My favorite scene in the entire movie was when the basterds broke Hugo Stiglitz out of jail and recruited him to join the pros. Sad... Shosanna's pretty cute though.

No, just bingo.

I saw it last night in a packed Georgetown theater. I enjoyed it a lot. Probably a 8.5/10 or so. I think I would rank it between Star Trek (#3) and Hurt Locker (#1) as my favorite movies of the summer.

I fell in love with actress Mélanie Laurent. I am also a big fan of Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, and Christian Berkel.

In reference to the basement bar shootout scene, I knew that the Brit screwed up with he gave the "wrong" three fingers. It's common knowledge that Germans count with the thumb.

Finally, I love the use of multiple foreign languages to include German, French, and Italian...all spoken beautifully by Christoph Waltz who stole the movie.

Wont argue with that. He should easily get a nomination for an Acadamy Award. One of the most chilling/cunning characters I have ever seen.

Yup, amazing performance.

He didn't. It was English.

I am pretty sure he said some Italian word with his accent, that's the word I am looking for

He said "Gratzi" and "Bounjour" with the biggest southern drawl that was unrecognizable to the Germans... it was friggin hilarious.

EDIT: Here is the clip.

I really enjoyed the movie. It's not great and it's not near his best but it was still a good movie. It kept his style without feeling forced like some of his other recent stuff. Brad Pitt did a way better job than I was expecting, and everybody else was good too. The movie had a few slow parts, and I was worried that the movie wouldn't have enough time to fit everything in and have it make sense, but I didn't realize how long it was going to be. The slow bits seemed like he was taking his time and developing the characters and plot the way he wanted to, they were all entertaining and now that I know he fits everything in they'll be a lot more enjoyable the second time. I really liked how it presented a bunch of opportunities for really cliche movie crap, and then went in a completely different and unexpected direction without seeming forced.

Eli Roth's character really reminded me of the Scout from TF2.

 

[CRXican]

Those "slow parts" were some of the best parts. They were intense.

 

[mAdMaLuDaWg]

I was expecting far more blood and violence being a Tarantino movie.

The movie had great progression and character development up until the German Colonel made the deal.. that was dumb and ruined the story for me, wish it went some other way.

Honestly, this was Tarantino's worst movie ever. At many points, I almost walked out of the theater. The only thing funny about it was Brad Pitt - who did a very good job. The scenes dragged on and on forever, the soundtrack was a remix of Kill Bill (western music for a movie set in nazi-occupied France???), and the flow was painfully awkward.

True to the 'Tarantino'-style, there were plenty of gory scenes that seemed to be thrown in just to make the audience cringe. After two and a half agonizing hours (not even counting previews - that's the run time) of enduring this horrible failure of a movie, where Tarantino's usual flair and style were forced and awkward, I couldn't help but be pissed for the next hour.

This movie sucked. big. balls. Stay home.

Pretty much exactly how I felt about it too. Brad was good, the main German character was entertaining, Diane Kruger was hottt, and the ending was just insane. I knew about the length going in but it didn't *feel* long to me.

Saw this last night. It was good, but not great. I think I'm starting to tire of the Tarantino style. The story was incredibly simple with no real twists, and there wasn't enough Nazi killing. Not a waste of money, but I wouldn't watch it again.

 

[Joemonkey]

LOVED this movie, probably in my top 10 ever, Tarantino does tension better than anyone, I was squirming in my seat just WAITING for whatever was going to happen next to happen, it was insane

I didn't know it was supposed to be a comedy. I could have done without Brad Pitt.

You fail.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Saw it for the third time in the theater last night. (I have never done this before. Ever.)

First time: 10 minutes late / GF fell asleep (jet lag, cat died that day, etc.)
Second time: Saw the entire thing awake
Third time: Friends in town who wanted to see, so we went with them

I have to say, even after seeing it three times, it is a GREAT film. The theater was still packed and energized.

I will be PISSED if Christoph Waltz doesn't get at least get an Oscar nomination.

 

[KillerCharlie]

Yeah, there were some tense moments - I love when a movie can create good tension. I was also expecting tons of bloody violence, but it was only in the first 30 minutes.

 

[vi edit]

Saw it over the weekend. Pitt's character was a hoot. I still chuckle every time I think of him saying the word "Nazi".

Even though he was entertaining, if Waltz doesn't get an award for his performance it would be a crime. He was INCREDIBLE. Easily one of the best villians I've seen in a movie.
