Leo


Christoph Waltz


Samuel L.


10/10

wow. quite possibly Tarantino's best film yet. Leo and Waltz should both receive Oscar nominations. Also fortunately Foxx didn't ruin the film as many (including myself) were worried about. He did a pretty good job. I definitely will be seeing again.

Performances are wonderful, including Foxx who is cast PERFECTLY.

Saw it this afternoon and it was simply fantastic. The acting, the dialogue everything was right up there with the best Tarantino has done. To me Sam Jackson put in a great performance worthy of Oscar consideration, as did Leo and Cristoph Waltz. This film will be up for many academy awards for sure!

I just honestly dont get how people think Basterds is better than this.

This had way better structure than Basterds. The comedy was at the perfect time.

Im telling you this movie will be viewed much different..in a year or so.

I think that this film quite possibly might have set the record for the amount of times nigg** was said

I thought it was great did to spaghetti westerns what kill bill did to samurai/martial arts movies.

I really dont get the love for Inglorious Basterds on this board. I thought it was fairly weak carried by the performances of Pitt and Waltz.

Here is how I would rank his films

Pulp Fiction
Resevoir Dogs
Kill Bill Vol 1
Django
Vol 2
Inglorious Basterds

I'm a little late to this thread, but my initial thoughts:

Waltz was his usual awesome self. Baloo's take on the character was great, and I think spot on
DiCaprio was a fantastic villain
Jackson's best actual performance since forever...he didn't just play Samuel L. being Samuel L.
Jamie Foxx played Jamie Foxx, but did great.
The first raid of the KKK was hilarious
Absolutely loved the first 80% of it, didn't love the ending
Thought it should've ended with the first climax, last two scenes made it too long
Felt the movie's length a couple of times, but went by pretty fast for almost three hours
Thought the slave scenes were appropriately, deservedly dehumanizing, brutal and awful
Wish they went into a little more background on Stephen and Candie
Thought Django and King should've had a tougher go of it, everything was almost too easy for them until they got to Candyland
The movie as a whole was shockingly funny
The initial climax ran too long, and got cartoony even for QT
I liked this movie A LOT, but I didn't love it due to the overly long ending.
I wished Walton Goggins would've had more to do.
I wonder what all ended up on the cutting room floor

I saw this today. Decent film, but I left rather disappointed considering all the hype. Leo and Samuel L. were really great in their roles. Foxx and Waltz were good. Everybody else was serviceable. My primary problem besides how incredibly long and drawn-out it is (sorry, that story doesn't need 2 hrs 40 min to be told well) is that it really left me with any memorable moments like previous Tarantino films.

I'd give it a 7/10. Was shot really well that's for sure. No Oscar consideration from me though.
