January 1, 2010Nice little Tarantino flick of revenge set against the backdrop of WWII. The actors are top notch and the carnage is just right.

May 13, 2012Tarantino is a great director, but very overrated. Like many of his films, this one has time-wasting banter, extreme violence, and spins in circles until it finds a conclusion. However, the time-wasting banter is entertaining, the extreme violence in necessary, and the spinning s... read more

March 18, 2012A little long in the run time I felt, but overall a very entertaining film with great performances from Brad Pitt and Christopher Waltz. The second half of the film is better as a plot to assassinate the top Nazi's in one hit slowly unravels with a few twists and turns.

March 8, 2012One of Quentin Tarantino's best movies. There's something about Tarantino movies that is hard to put our finger on but yet its undeniably entertaining and worthy to be considered a cinematic wonder. The editing style is very unpredictable and the traditionally long takes Tarantin... read more

January 22, 2012Waltz deservedly won the academy award for best supporting actor for his amazing performance as a powerful nazi official bent on destroying the basterds. Brad Pitt and all of it's cast imitate the emotion of the characters struggle at the time of war almost perfectly. Tarantino t... read more

October 16, 2011Violent, humorous, and stylish, Inglorious Basterds is a classic entertainer that features a unhinged performance by Christoph Waltz and Melanie Laurent.

Quentin Tarantino seems to be hanging on to a lost world of moviemaking. He may be nuts. But he's a nut who cares. Full Review

Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com
Its biggest flaw, though, for those who care about such things, may be its moral attitude. That might seem a stodgy thing to bring up in the context of a Quentin Tarantino movie, but it takes such cen... Full Review

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Landa is such a wily and despicable concoction that, in movie terms, he's almost impossible not to like. And therein lies part of my problem with this movie. Full Review

I'm tempted to say Tarantino has done it again, but I doubt anyone has ever done anything like his dazzlingly original World War II movie, Inglourious Basterds. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
It's these fine sequences that can make you truly regret Tarantino's snarky, in-joke impulses, not to mention his arrogant -- perhaps even dangerous -- lack of concern with the story's moral dimensions. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Will Basterds polarize audiences? That's a given. But for anyone professing true movie love, there's no resisting it. Full Review

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Clocking in at 2 hours and 32 minutes, it is unforgivably leisurely, almost glacial, a film that loses its way in the thickets of alternative history and manages to be violent without the start-to-fin... Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The picture contains all the things his fans like about Tarantino -- the wit, the audacity, the sudden violence -- but this movie's emotional core and bigness of spirit are new. Full Review
