Merged: The Movies Thread

[mooby]

I saw Inglorious Basterds last night. Absolutely loved it. It had everything I wanted in an action movie, plenty of action, lots of dark humor - Tarantino style, plenty of gore (bullleee dat), the soundtrack was great (very similar to the Kill Bill movies), and the ending was exactly what I had been hoping for. It delivers, imo. And it lives up to the hype for me as well. It's very safe to say it's not your typical war movie.

And for what some might say is a spoiler, I'll just put a spoiler alert here so nobody has to read this in case they don't want to, it's historically innacurate. But that doesn't matter so much because the ending is great. I'm pretty sure some won't agree with me on that but that's fine with me because I still love that movie.

I have to agree with your assertion... Tarantino killed it in this one. Pace was a bit slower than his previous films, but I definitely didn't mind- I actually would have been disappointed if the entire movie would have been an over the top bloodbath (which I loved in Kill Bill, but didn't want in IB). This may sound weird, but my favorite character in the movie was the SS Colonel... dude was mad funny.

Also co-sign on the soundtrack... QT knows his music as much as he knows film. Love him or hate him, you won't find another man whose seen more movies than Tarantino- and I guess that's why I appreciate his film-making so much.,
