I've been waiting for this one for a while, but with exams and all, there's a chance I might not see it in theaters.

I'm usually not a cinema guy. I like to wait a couple of weeks and rent a movie to watch it in my own living/bedroom. Cinema is way too fucking expensive over here.

But now that I've got a bunch of cinema tickets from the holidays (as in: Christmas time), I use them for movies I know I'll probably like. I want to see Public Enemies too, when I've got time.

I hope it's as good as I think it will be. I like Tarantino's movies and Reservoir Dogs is among my favourite movies ever (Cf. my top 10 in TFF's Movie Database). But Kill Bill sucked, and from what I've heard, Death Proof wasn't that good either.

But those movies were meant to be ironic and all.

Tarantino claims this one is his 'masterpiece' script. So we'll see...

Death Proof was entertaining as hell. Maybe not a masterpiece, but that and Planet Terror were meant to be B rate movies. Planet Terror was only good for the last line in the movie, imo. Cracked me the **** up.

I loved Pulp Fiction, as I watched that first and it is the masterpiece that it is. Reservoir Dogs was good, but I still liked Pulp Fiction better. And when I say "good" when referring to a Tarantino film, it means more than saying "good" about any other film. He's got talent.

I can't wait to see this movie. I love Brad Pitt when he's in his crazy character mood. Nothing compares to him. Twelve Monkeys, Fight Club, etc. That and it's Tarantino who Adult Swim claims to "be back", it sounds like a good time. I trust Quentin to do it right.

I just got back from seeing it, and Holy shit. It's fantastic.

It's got a great script, great direction (it's Tarantino, what the hell do you expect?), and some great acting performances (most notably Pitt, who is hilarious, and Cristoph Waltz (Hans Landa) who, if the Academy has any sense, will at least get an Oscar nod). It's also got a classic Tarantino feel, wherein the small talk that goes on in the movie seems to lull the audience to a point of comfort, when just around the corner, a heinous act of violence is committed. This is mostly a good thing, but if I have one complaint, it's that some of the dialog is a bit too inane, and in turn, will lead several scenes in the film to be too long (the opening chapter is a good example of this, I think), and when the film runs a minute shy of two and a half hours, one starts to wonder what could've easily been cut from the final product. Other than that, it's absolutely fantastic, even if it's not, ahem, historically accurate.

So yeah. Go see it. Now.

Christoph Walken should not just get an oscar nod, he should have the oscar for his performance. Some scenes were long and the dialogue a bit inane but the it added to the characters, especially to Hans Landen. I did enjoy Pitt's performance which I found to be very good. The SS officer at the tavern was also a good performance. There was also plenty of funny scenes, often dealing in racist humor. The characters were likable even though some did not get a lot of screen time. It gets very graphic when the time arises and is not all just senseless violence. Inglorious Basterds is definetly a great film.

I haven't seen it yet but the trailer does look interesting, it made Brad Pitt interesting to me for once. It looks a litte cheesy but I'll give it a shot anyway. Besides, I love how Pitt says "Natzi" in the trailer.

**Midnight Panda** · 08-24-2009, 04:02 PM

lol, i have only seen the trailer on the tv but it still looks like a good movie. but im not keen on pitt.

its really slow to get started and even then the movie doen't move all that fast. its ok i guess, some parts were boring, Pitt was funny as shit though.
