  A monster mash of a film, all the best parts of Tarantino's work squeezed into one film. Witty, comedic in places, suspense, thrills, it has it all.
  
  But the defineing feature I beleive is the best, is the whole realism of the film. All in different languages, with the French Characters speaking french, The Germans speaking German etc. And ofcourse Christoph Waltz as an Amazing Colonel Hans Landa, speaking in German, French and English fluently, just gives the film such a great feel that most war films do not have.
  
  A definate 100% fresh, a MUST watch!

  With Quentin Tarantino's classic story, suspense and action buildup after 2 hours and 20 minutes, Inglorious Basterds succeeds with the gruesome intense violence often occuring towards the kick-ass ending. Also, Christoph Waltz did a great job as Hans Landa. The good thing for the villain is for the viewers to hate him (thats why he's the villain) and Christoph Waltz did a great job pursuing it and had won the 2010 oscar for "best supporting actor".

  My friends (the guys) think this is the best thing since bikinis, but to me it's just not that funny. I actually fell asleep during this movie. It's the fact that I don't like this kind of blood action. It is rather gorry. I don't recommend this for anyone younger than 18, due to it's horrific blood detail. I truly believe this one is mainly one for the guys. Women may not like this one.

  Though not historically accurate, this is probably the most entertaining and original WWII movie to date. Though shown in the trailers to be a straight up, balls to the wall action movie, the film actually centers more around a young Jewish woman and her plans for revenge against the Nazis that killed her family. Christoph Waltz's performance as "The Jew Hunter" is unbelievably good, and really makes the film flood with tension. Entire scenes of Waltz cause viewers to grip the arms of their seats as they wait for whatever dastardly thing he is going to do next. The scenes are just as good in the storyline of the Basterds, who make audiences cheer by balancing the tension with violent retaliation toward the villainous Nazis in the film. A stylish and daring movie that should be an example that historical movies shouldn't always be accurate, just for the sake of fun.

  Of all the films Quentin Tarantino has made, this is the only one I have seen so far, and after having seen it, I swear will never again watch a Tarantino film on a DVD unless I have seen it in cinemas first.
  Brad Pitt and Eli Roth work great together as Lt. Aldo Raine and Sgt. Donny Donovitz, and Christopher Waltz is fantastic as Colonel Landa or "The Jew Hunter".
  Tarantino has made a film that surpasses everything I've seen in my life bar a few.
  
  Quentin! Make a sequel!

  Although Quentin Tarantino is known for gruesome violence such as cops doused in gasoline, Uma Thurman surrounded by severed limbs, and a rock 'n roll fueled vampire massacre within a Mexican bordello, the heart of his films has always been the dialogue. Few others have the ability to allow so little to happen for so long and keep the audience completely engrossed. This holds true with Inglourious Basterds, evidenced by the opening scene. A twenty minute chat entirely within a small french kitchen is not the typical way to start a World War II film. Luckily, there is little typical regarding Basterds. Tarantino tells history the way he wishes it would have happened with all the story lines converging beautifully and completely naturally. After the let down that was Death Proof, it is good to know Tarantino still possesses the skill to weave an intricate story with action so effective, you'd swear there was more of it.

  History can say what it pleases, the Basterds truly killed Ol' Hitler. Oh, where to start? Brad Pitt takes on the role of Lt. Raine, a war veteran bent on the destruction of the Nazi regime. And who better to let him command than a team of Jews. Quentin did a wonderful job with the movie. The casting was brilliant, from Shoshana to Hammersmark to Hugo Stiglitz. It's very easy to have your attention captured. Chris Waltz puts on a bloody brilliant performance as Hans Landa, the Jew Hunter and he deserves every award thrown his way. Opening the movie with him in Shoshana's house was just a puzzle to the masterpiece. It set the mood for the rest of the movie, which was beyond enthralling. A movie with a high replay-ability.

  How can a film be set in Nazi-occupied France, focus on the lives of Nazi-hunters, Jew-hunters and Jews, but ultimately fail to be classified as a 'war film' because it's too much damn fun? Quentin Tarantino knows. His 'Inglorious Basterds' is completely original, fun and memorable.
  
  The plot: Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and his small gang rampage around the countryside killing Nazis. The Nazis spend their time ruthlessly hunting down Jews, then hunting Brad, and then seeing a movie. We also follow the life of a Jewish girl, who wants revenge on the Nazis for killing her family when she was a child. All three parties meet up in the cinema for a thrilling climax.
  
  Brad Pitt is refreshingly ridiculous (Seeoound GEEAD?), Christopher Waltz is a definite lock for best supporting actor, the screenplay is brimming with originality and the cinematography is stunning.
  
  There are a few unnecessary deaths, and each character's story was so engaging that you momentarily forgot about everyone else, but these are trifles.
  
  Overall, 'Inglorious Basterds' is a near-perfect example of excellent cinema. Keep 'em coming, Tarantino!

  "You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, Business is a-boomin'", says Lt. Aldo "The Apache" Raine, played brilliantly by Brad Pitt. You've probably heard of this little film called "Inglourious Basterds" (yes, it's intentionally spelled wrong). You may have it's from the genius of Quentin Tarantino. What you may not have that this Cannes-praised film is one of the best films in recent years. Yes, dear readers, "Inglourious Basterds" should be one of the only films you see in 2009. Why? Just a moment, now.
  
  Most are familiar with Quentin Tarantino. He's one of the few filmmakers out there with the mind and balls to do what he wants and actually gets away with it. With his previous masterpieces, "Reservoir Dogs", "Pulp Fiction" (which got him a Best Original Screenplay Oscar), "Jackie Brown", "Kill Bill Volume 1&2" and the not-so-great "Death Proof" (I don't like to put that film in Tarantino's list of credits), expectations for this World War II era Nazi-killing movie are high. While many think they're seeing an action movie judging by the trailers (you're not), what they actually see is quite possibly Taratino's best film (or at least his second best, behind "Pulp Fiction").
  
  In typical Tarantino fashion, the film is made up of different chapters; all having different story lines but all intersect and come together. There's the story of Col. Hans Landa of the German SS. He's known as the "Jew Hunter". Austrian actor Christoph Waltz plays him with finesse and expertise and the Jew Hunter is as gentle and kind as he is vicious. There's also the story of Shosanna Dreyfuss (played by M
