Re: Inglorious Bastards is a dull, overlong, poorly edited egotrip
at the end when he said "I think this is my masterpiece" or w/e he was in a way talking about Tarentino IMO and I agree.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
It was way too long for a gore fest...2:30 of screen time? More like 2 hrs max for a movie like that! Had me sitting and watching for too long...and Pulp Fiction is countlessly better than this film! Watchman I could deal with 2:30 plus, but for a movie like this.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
Movie was one of the best ever, and those 2.5 hours flew by for me...

Me too.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
I thought it was great. Can't wait for the prequel. I thought it was better than Pulp Fiction and it flew by for me.

[QUOTE=embersyc]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.[/QUOTE]
Sure, but if he was such a mercenary with no loyalty to the Germans why would he go apesh!t on von Hammersmark like that.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
Well he was still a psychopath who obviously enjoyed killing.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
3rd act was weak. overall i enjoyed it thoe.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
A third act that has [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o2ID2KlgUI"]this scene[/URL] in it does not deserve to be called weak.
Saw it twice; loved it both times.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
I liked it, dragged in parts and probably could have been a bit shorter but it was a well executed Tarantino film.
Enjoyable film, not some kind of cinema masterpiece but none of his films are but it is a very enjoyable viewing. It is weird to watch a Brad Pitt film where he is not the star of the show, Waltz was just brilliant and probably deserves an Oscar mention.

I'm so glad there is one person who feels the same way I do; while Pulp Fiction and Basterds are two really good movies; they are both highly overrated. I never understood the fascination with Quentin's directing, it's like he's everyone's family member and they're trying their hardest to please him.
Was this movie really that much better then say Enemy at the Gates?
Kill Bill in my opinion is Quentin's best work.
I'm not saying Tarantino is not a good director; I just think he's an attention whore who gets too much publicity and it further feeds his already gigantic ego. Give me the Cohen brothers and literally a dozen other directors over him.
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
Not even close to Pulp Fiction in my opinion.
