inglorious basterds

In general I tend to pick movies that limit the amount of gratuitous violence. Quentin Tarantino movies are the exception to my rule. Inglorious Basterds (not misspelled) is his finest work so far. We will see Oscar nominations in many categories.

I will watch it again when the DVD arrives.

How violent was it? As bad as Reservoir Dogs????? I plan on seeing it but closing my eyes during certain scenes.
I didn't see Reservoir Dogs, and I admit I was a bit skeptical about seeing Inglourious Basterds because it was advertised as being very violent.

Don't get me wrong, there were parts where I AND Dale had to turn our heads momentarily, but on the whole, it was nowhere near as violent as I thought it was going to be. The plots kept you interested - there were 2-3 plots going on at the same time.

I loved it! And I agree - there WILL be Oscar nominations for this movie.
Looking forward to seeing that one...
Well, there's violence and then there's gore.

Was the violence very graphic and gory?
I loved it too, but Pulp Fiction is still my favorite. That guy who played the Nazi Hans was amazing.

It wasn't gory like a slasher movie but there were a few scenes that I had to turn away but I am squeamish in general. The graphic parts were not what I would call gratuitous. Story was very well done.
Looking forward to seeing this one. My daughter said it was one of the best movies she has seen in a long time. She did say she had to turn her head and look down a bit--
The violence was appropriate for the story line, not random or senseless. I had to take a couple of visual breaks as some of the scenes were very realistic. The movie has a different style and amount of violence from Reservoir Dogs.

Tarantino is superb at creating a Femme Fatale character and Shosanna is one of his finest. Colonel Hans Landa has to win supporting actor Oscar. Brad Pitt was good but seemed to be only a catalyst for all the other great performances.

Pulp Fiction has always been number one for me, but Basterds moved it to second place.
Saw this last night, and WOW. It's definitely the best movie I've seen in years. Tremendous acting--the guy who played Landa has to win an Oscar. I think Brad Pitt actually was the weakest actor--he had a few scenes where he was really wooden but saying he was the weakest is really a a compliment in a movie where all the actors were outstanding.

Violent? Yes. I closed my eyes or watched through my fingers during several scenes, and one had me just about jump into my friend's lap.

Being a Tarantino movie, it's multi-layered, multi-storied, and full of twists and turns. If you plan on seeing it, see it on the big screen. DVD is fine for a re-watching, but if you're only going to see it once, it has to be at the show.

Two thumbs up from me!
I am really looking forward to seeing this film and will try and go one evening next week. I just love Tarantino.
We saw it loved it, one of his best yet and anything with Brad in it has to be good too :wink:
I haven't seen it but my son did. He was up this weekend for a visit. He said it was very good. I told him people were rating it close to "Pulp Fiction" and he agreed. May be one I go to see without my Mom. Don't think she'd like it.
