Went the other night. How chilling is the Farm scene at the beginning ? The guy who plays The Jewhunter is some actor

I hoped they were already dead when they scalped them..
its absolute fcking garbage in every review i have seen,i reckon reservoir dogs went to tarantinos head and he started to believe he was as good as sidney lumet or scorcese when the truth is most of his films are complete pap aimed at spotty 16 yr olds who get excited easily
pandora, dont listen to the reviews.Best film ive seen for a long long time.
Conversely, British reviewer Peter Bradshaw, who disparaged the film at its Cannes premiere,[65] reviewed it for The Guardian on its UK release and stated he was "struck afresh by how exasperatingly awful and transcendentally disappointing it is."[66] Author and critic Daniel Mendelsohn was disturbed by the portrayal of Jewish-American soldiers mimicking Nazi atrocities done to European Jews, stating, "In Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino indulges this taste for vengeful violence by
People said Waterworld was bad! It was amazing imo, don't believe the bad reviews
The french bird who owns the cinema is a stunner as well, brad pitt a bit over the top though.

You appear to have Tarantino's number,pandora.
His movies are all style over substance,mostly rip-offs from great movies of the past.
Perfectly acceptable for the lads mag and tribal tattoo generation though.

Did he make Jackie Brown?Is that the one based on an Elmore Leonard book?
For some reason, some people seem to think the more violent a film is, the more 'cool' it is.
It makes them more masculine.
I'm inclined to agree with pandora. Tarantino, like Scorcese, is "Emperor's new clothes". I want to be entertained when I see a film, not scared or disgusted, especially when it's all just the figment of someone else's imagination.
For those reasons, I'm out.

That's a pretty good movie.And an even better book!
I'm seeing a mate today who likes to think he watches all the 'edgy' stuff that's out there. He'll expect me to say yes today when he suggests we go to see this film.
Apart from using last month's Chit Chat excuse of not seeing it because of the spelling mistakes in the title of the film (I know), what can I say, succinctly, to show that I definitely don't want to see this film?

There is hope for the movie.
Ebert is the best judge of all and given it his maximum rating.

Ive seen it, it is OTT in parts, the point about making jews nazi's is well put and valid, Pitt is OTT, the violence is OTT . I idnt go to see the film because of the violence, it does nothing for me, it was a different take on a well documented and desperate part of history and its main characters. amid all this there were some very good performances, Hans Landa and Shosanna where two of the main characters and were brilliantly actedas was la padite, the french farmer.
of course the best way to criticise a movie is to actually go and see it for yourself. those saying it is garbage are so wide of the mark

Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown great films. Basterds is sh!t. It is just porn for jews. Do not waste your money on this sh!te. Download if you must.
Study, to a certain extent I would agree about Tarantino being victim to the 'Emperor's New Clothes' phenomenon that we find in our mediocre world today (Jack Black, anyone?). However, I can't accept that Scorsese is the same. Ironically enough, though, The Departed certainly suffers from this. How it won Best Picture is beyond me, granted it was a weak year but still.
I hated The Departed, and even joined imdb to write a review because I hated it that much.
Interesting to see the 'Jewish porn' comments from some of the tw@ts who inhabit this place.

Aye, it's ruined by its silly ending. Apart from that, Scorsese knows how to make a good film or two.
watched it last night. very enjoyable with some gripping scenes particularly with the SS jewhunter Lander. 9/10 for me
Wouldn't waste a single minute on a Tarantino film - except for Jackie Brown.
Tarantino is the most original director working today.
Resevoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
to name just 3 - are all classics.
I'd put Inglorious Basterds up there with them. It is brilliant. The dialogue and acting are incredible.
I agree with the OP - the whole scene in the farmhouse at the beginning is one of the best set pieces i have ever seen. The acting by the German Jew Hunter is amazing.
Don't believe the negative reviews. make your own mind up - and go and see it !

If Christoph Waltz doesnt win best actor at the next oscars I'll become a monk.
^ totally believable performance,if there is any justice he will win a oscar.
Waltz was watchable in the role but the charcter was a cartoon bad guy
You have to understand this, if you watch Tarantino's films !!
I think it may be one of the worst films I've ever seen, but as some people have said, maybe it's an acquired taste.
Seen all of them.
The characters in the first 3 , while entertaining , were realistic also , in their actions and behaviour.
Kill Bill, the Kurt Russell one and the latest are just big budget versions of the kind of B Movie sub genre Films of the 1970s . Genres which may have been 'cool' but were also sh!t :)

I have seen it and conclude that it is, indeed, a pile of shyte. Anyone who thinks this is a good film has bought into the hype and taken to the cleaners. Rock & Roll Swindle, anyone?

Personally knew next to nothing about the film cos I avoid trailers, hype etc
Watched it, thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly the one- on- one scenes with the SS man

it's just about watchable.
i do wonder how of much of the acclaim waltz is getting for his performance is down to his trilingualism; there are probably more complex and challenging roles than playing a comic book baddie.

Not especially a Tarentino fan but I thought it was a great film
Best film I saw last year by a mile but felt it could have been ever better done 'straight' without the Tarantino touches.

I was very disappointed. The first scene was good though.
The first scene was too long and slow, film starts in French, then English, Then German then English, a little Italian then German-English, Thank F@ck for Subtitles!!!!!!!!!
quite enjoyed it .felt it could have had maybe 20/30 mins shaved off it though . trouble with a lot of QT films is that he just drags them on a bit .
Watched it the other night with no expectations apart from maybe it would be sh!t, but gotta say i really enjoyed it and was a bit surprised how violent it was, sounds daft considering the director, but well worth a watch.

Wasted on you then ! Stick to Simpsons - The Movie !

QT Spent far too long at a young age watching all those Horror killing flicks, he has lost the plot the past 5 years.
Even his invlovement in the CSI vega series was Cr@p.
Bad Lieutenant-Port of Call starring Nicolas Cage,Eva Mendes,Val Kilmer is worth watching.

Use your noggins, folks, if sorry cὑnts/ sundry Jew-haters like Panbora1963, scluck du luser, glorioles, and (excuse me while I fall about laughing even more) the Guardian film critic don't like the film then it has gotta be a must see. And indeed it is.
Magnificent film from the master, even better than Death Proof but not as good as Kill Bills.
Trust me; I know about this stuff, I get spam emails from the BFI.

I see it has just won the Screen Actors Guild award for movie ensemble acting- I feel vindicated.
One of tarantinos best imo. That austrian actor who played col landa was superb. Like a nazi columbo.
Really impressed with Austin Powers as well.
Saw Mike Myers in the credits but didn't notice him at all first two times I saw it!
