Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction

I just saw the movie with my brother, and it was pretty ****ing awesome! Especially the ending! The **** went down! :rockon:

Great movie. Loved it...

[QUOTE=Hotlantadude81]I for one will not say that he is original. I just like the movies he makes. Mostly Jackie Brown. I only like PF some. Death Proof is solid and dogs is awesome... I own the Kill Bill movies, but I haven't had the urge to watch them.

[B]As for as Leone and TBTBTU goes... Isn't that movie a rip off of another movie.... Oh what's it's name? I think it starts with a Y...[/B][/QUOTE]

WRONG MORON!!!

The Good the Bad and the Ugly is completely original.

A Fistful of Dollars is the film you are talking about-it is a shot for shot remake of the Kurosawa movie Yojimbo set in the old west. And Leone did not pretend that he wrote that movie. Kurosawa and the Yojimbo screenplay are credited in the movie.

[QUOTE=embersyc]Every director borrows, Leone ripped off Kurusawa obviously.[/QUOTE]
It's not a ripoff IF YOU GIVE KUROSAWA CREDIT FOR WRITING THE SCREENPLAY.

And Leone only did that for one movie.
Tarantino did it for every movie he ever wrote.

[QUOTE=Sonic R]Sorry dude, I'm not a movie snob… I barley watch movies and I regret that I won't be able to get in that deep if I were to watch something else and get back to ya on my thoughts on what ever or who ever… You wanna argue about video games, then I'm your man, but you come onto this forum and peddle your view as if you're some savior of film and that everyone who enjoys Tarantino's work are lemmings, and proceed to belittle the membership of ISH because they happen to enjoy something that you feel is not up to your highbrow standards.

I may be a game snob, but I don't go on trashing all the people who throw their money away every year on stuff like Madden… it is what it is…[/QUOTE]
im not a movie snob either! Im the opposite, I'm saying that people who declare this guy a genius are the highbrow snobs, who just do everything critics tell them, and judge a movie more for intellectual themes rather than it just being a good movie that's fun to watch

QT fanboys are not hardcore intellectual snobs.

if they arent i dont get how they can praise a movie so much that had two thirty minute scenes of dialogue (the restaurant with the strudel and the bar) with basically no plot development in those scenes. Edit that boring shi[U]t[/U] down!

[QUOTE=vapid]QT fanboys are not hardcore intellectual snobs.[/QUOTE]



exactly, they are the opposite.

tarrentino makes very entertaining films that dont have anything to say. you have to admire his post modernist pastiches- which is basically what his films are. he acts like he is paying tribute to the film makers he is borrowing from, but in reality the people that are really big fans of his work are the ones that havent seen the original films- for them it seems like freash modern film making. that said i dont have any problem with him, he is a talented film maker and in his own way he is making films of their own style. he has almost become a parody of himself. i have enjoyed each and every qt film- even death proof.



inglourious basterds- the first 2/3's of the film were excellent i felt, yes it was all dialogue but beautifully tense and the actor who plays the jew killer was mesmerising. however the 3rd act was just a disgrace, rediculous ubsurd mess. lowering the film from a 9 to a 7.5 imo. but once again it was a very well acted/scripted enjoyable slice of entertainment cinema.

7.5/10

Ya.


After Kurosawa sued him. :oldlol:

In the original Kurosawa wasn't credited.

Not better than Pulp Fiction. But still awesome.

Loved the movie, but afterward I was like where does the Jewhunter get off brutalizing von Hammersmark for plotting against the Germans when he was the ultimate traitor himself?

Thats my only gripe though. I didnt feel like it was too long at all, didnt feel like any scenes went on too long at all, didnt have any issue with the subtitles. Aldo Raine's italian was hilarious.

I enjoy the self-*********ory Tarantino dialogue marathons, provided they're done right, and arent just a bunch of dumb b!tches yapping (Death Proof). Basement/bar rendezvous scene was great IMO. Landa's rat/jew soliliquoy at the beginning was classic Tarantino stuff. He was definitely the highlight of the movie. His acting and Tarantino's directing did a great job building tension throughout scenes. People complain about the length and inaction of some of Tarantino's scenes but they're all done to build tension. This movie did a great job of it.

Would have liked to have heard why he made the decision he did at the end though. It seemed like he enjoyed his job and was loyal to his cause, and then BAM he's betraying everyone just like that.

Just saw it. F*ck. Instant classic. Absolutely loved every bit of this film. I can see how some would say it needs some more editing, and I might not complain about a shorter running time myself, but hey...that's Tarantino. This is unquestionably him at his best. The dialogue, cast, soundtrack, direction...everything blew me away, and I had pretty high expectations. Definitely want to see it again...and again.

The last scene = :rockon: :rockon:

I went to see it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Never before was a Tarantino movie so funny in a haha way, and I thought the combination of funny and very explicit violence made for a satisfyingly weird combination.
For overall entertainment value it's his best so far, but I don't know yet if that also makes it his best work overall.

The story has a lot of holes, but that can be said about all of Tarantino's stuff. He makes things happen because he thinks they are cool, not for any other reason.

I also think we can all agree Christoph Waltz (Landa) was terrific.

Maybe this is a spoiler, so don't read if you haven't seen the movie:







I think he just liked his job because it was the best thing he could get for himself, he saw the writing on the wall with the Americans coming and figured he'd take the opportunity to make himself rich and put himself on the winning side of history.

That's only because Leone didn't know if you had to credit someone if you translate the language from Japanese to English or Italian.
