Ok movie. Sometimes entertaining, but I definitely expected more from Tarantino movie. In my opinion, the subject (Holocaust) is way too serious material for Tarantino to play with. Would be better - and funnier- if Brad Pitt with his basterds were simply a group of American commandos running over the occupied France and killing Nazis, "Kill Bill" style. All my stars went to the artist playing SS-officer "Jew Hunter". Without him, the movie would not be worth even mentioning.
an ok movie. but the "basterds" seemed to be a subplot in their own movie, which was more about the movie house than anything else. and goebbels hitler etc didn't die that way; why do movies like this have to develop their own perspective endings? who does tarantino think he is ... oliver stone?
Expected lots of witty dialogue peppered with gratuitous violence along the lines of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill and didn't get it.
Not A huge Tarantino fan, but this was a really well done movie. The movie gets you hooked from the 1st scene. A great piece of work , and a must see ! 4 stars
a waste of time
Talk about being entertained! Wow! This movie is intended to entertain and it absolutely does. The moral message is up to the viewer if one is searching for it. But talk about getting your money worth of entertainment. This is it, I tell you. This is it! Oh and what a marvelous German actor the "Hunter" is...GWH
Go sit in a military trauma centre or watch CNN coverage of war/terrorist activities for similar effect. TERRIBLE MOVIE!!!!
It was worth a watch, but definitely not Tarantino's best. I enjoyed the movie, but there were some things I felt a bit disappointed with. That is all I really have to say on it, without adding spoilers.
His worst movie yet !
This was by far the worst movie of the summer. It was a complete waist of time money and film. Tarantino thinks he's brilliant with all his useless dialouge. Do not pay money for this garbage,do not waist two and a half hours of your life seeing this pitiful piece of manure.....
