Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
jakebirkel I'm going to be honest, I haven't been a fan of Quentin Tarantino's work. Most of the time, it's just too much. Django Unchained (2012)? This movie played it nearly perfect though.Tarantino's writing captures logic, thought, and, most of all, suspense in a way that few have. It's an excellent piece of satire with some of the most expertly written scenes I have ever seen. The opening scene might be my favorite opening scene of all time. The story was great, as was the plotting. The performances are all around great. No surprise that Christopher Waltz sticks out the most in the cast. He definitely deserved his Oscar for his work done here. He plays Colnel Hans perfectly.Tarantino's direction seems more confident here. And it reflects his own writing perfectly. Props to you, Quentin!The production design is actually quite well done, surprised nobody pointed that out. It's something that seems glossed over but, for some reason, really stuck out to me.Overall, it's a 9/10. Very well done.
renskeveldman Christoph Waltz was absolutely phenomonal in this movie and Fassenbender was also great. I like Brad Pitt, but at times his acting was just mweh. His character was funny tho. Didn't like everything about the story, but I liked the most. I'm just giving this a high rating for Christoph Waltz, the first scene and the basement scene (and every other scene with Waltz). Those were amazing. But I defintly don't think it's as bad people are saying.
tybrando-32-748228 *** SPOILERS in places.I have my own scoring 'tool' with 12 categories and here's how I arrived at the above score of 7. Quality of script: 8; Quality of cast: 8; Appeal of characters: 8; appeal of storyline: 8; Quality of photography, images, etc.: 6; How quickly it engaged and held my interest: 8; Plausibility: 2; Music: 7; Overall entertainment value: 8; Inspiring: 3; Overall *style*: 9; Ending: 7. Things I didn't like: some of the casting, like Hitler for example. I actually can't think of much as I write this.Things I liked: I thought Pitt was very funny and I liked most of the actors very much. This was my first time for C. Waltz and M. Laurent . . . VERY enjoyable performances. This is a comic book type film and pretty much sticks with QT's known style, etc. He comes up with ideas I find original and interesting, though in places he can be borderline too chatty. Sometimes he rides the line. I turn away when T's films get too violent -- not my thing -- and this film had some of those. I'm anti glorifying violence, but for some reason T seems to get away with it, for me . . . perhaps b/c of the comic book quality of his films. The whole idea of wiping out the German high command, including Hitler, was inventive. I'd not seen anyone else do that. I may come back and add to this or tweak it.
hunterryanbelkin Inglourious Basterds features some of Tarabtino's best dialogue yet, superb acting, moments of humor, suspense and thrills, and, of course, graphic, over-the-top violence. A masterpiece.
