I really enjoyed watching this but I'll need to soak it in a few more times before I can give it a rock solid verdict. The only other times this has happened to me with QT movies was Jackie Brown which threw me initially as lacking that QT spark but has risen to almost the top of the pile after Reservoir dogs and Pulp Fiction. Also Kill Bill 2 was strangely dull after the full throttle action of part 1 Anyway there's so much action in Inglorious Basterds even if some of it didn't initially sit quite right with me.

The subtitles didn't bother me, the "violence" didn't bother me, I think I expected it to be funnier, ala "Pulp Fiction".. I suppose it was about the Holocaust and really there's not a lot of humor to be found there. It was a Tarantino, for better or for worse, I guess. But to fanboy it and "OMG IT'S A TARANTINO!!!" is akin to seeing a really fugly pair of shoes in the window at Nordstroms and flipping out "OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THOSE!!" because they're Jimmy Choos, even though, well, they're fugly. So, it wasn't a complete waste of 2+ hours of my time, but I won't be buying the Blu-Ray disc or anything. Yay Blockbuster... I get to return it and I'm only out $6. :) Well, I must be related to the reviewer or something, cuz I didn’t quite “get” it either.

I have no problem with subtitles, matter of fact I'd much, much rather read subtitles than, as you say, listen to bad accents or even worse, dubs. Read around the site a bit. I might (and usually do) call the subs out in a review, but just as a matter of fact, as I've done here. You and I might appreciate it, but we're sadly in the minority. The subtitles are hardly at issue. Ah, Luke, now you’re putting words in my mouth.

Its a welcome change from the years of hollywood movies in which the german 'bad guys' just speak english with a german accent. Das Boot had subtitles to you know, and a load of them. But you don't read many negative reviews. Think on son.

They don't speak English on the continent? Thanks for clearing that up, professor. I had no idea. 2) Actually I have taken some German and French, but no, I'm fluent in neither, nor should that be a pre-requisite for watching a film. Still waiting for someone to explain the "meaning" I keep hearing about. I will, of course, check it out again when it hits store shelves in a couple of weeks. Don't expect my opinion to change much, though. Like I said, explain it to me. 1) Really? They don’t speak English on the continent? Thanks for clearing that up, professor.

Based mainly on: 'Then there is the endless stretches of subtitled dialogue' Firstly the movie is set in continental europe, how much english do you think they spoke? I know you're probably american, but someone has to tell you that the second world war wasn't just between team USA and the bad guys... So they spoke other languages. Secondly if you spoke either german or french (or even tried to have someone explain it to you) you'd appreciate the humour and how accurately and carefully the dialogue has been put together. Finally I'll say that your review just stinks of a 17 year old secondary school film 'expert' trying to gain cult status by criticising a popular and successful film. Finally the comment you whoever wrote this review is clearly an idiot.

You should lighten up, it was a lighthearted film that I thoroughly enjoyed. Your review is way too harsh. You should lighten up, it was a lighthearted film that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This movie is not worth a full admission, wait and watch it on video. Violent? Hardly, more bodies, blood and gore and a lot more irony in the final Rambo movie out last year. What's Tarantino's real intention? SEX IN THE CAR! Yes, sex in the car, you watch the first scene of the movie (30 minutes) and then get to second base, she's hot to trot, and you do the nasty for the next 1 hour 45 minutes, then you watch the final scene of the movie (15 minutes) and go home. Perfect drive-in movie sex! Except where are the drive in movie theaters? Oops! Sucks, Quentin did you forget? The problem is this film is waaaaaayyyyyyy too long. Maybe if about 40 minutes of the film ended up on the cutting room floor, the chapters and the scenes would have had a lot more bite for indoor movie fans. I am sure Tarantino lovers will fawn all over this film but its hardly worth the effort, its mostly a dud, a good reason why studio's had talented film editors in the old days, to make gold out of tedious crud.
