Tarantino is at times like a flamboyant, egomaniacal orchestra conductor, gesticulating wildly and turning to the audience to make sure we know that the show's about him.

REVIEWS FOR INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
Despite some of the scenes dragging on too long, Inglourious Basterds is still a lot of fun, altering history for the better as the Nazis feel the force of redemption.
Apr 15, 2010
Inglourious Basterds is worthy of Dr. Strangelove, which is to say, its an inflammatory, cinema-defining masterpiece.
Feb 5, 2010
Shows how most of us turn to film for both fantasy escape and an avenue to make the abstract past tangible, enough to even possibly, and powerfully, replace actual history.
Dec 22, 2009
A brilliant rebound with a wonderfully complex story, a great cast, and a score that's really up to par with Tarantino's standards...
Dec 18, 2009
Quentin Tarantino seems to be hanging on to a lost world of moviemaking. He may be nuts. But he's a nut who cares.
Dec 16, 2009
Top CriticTarantino's World War II epic is both bloody and talky.
Dec 14, 2009
Tarantino's visual style and flare for the fantasy make for an intriguing and colorful World War II drama.
Dec 12, 2009
Mr. Waltz's dynamic performance contrasts satirical and dramatic hues, effectively charismatic and repulsive at once.
Dec 6, 2009
Un divertido disparate sobre tema serio que es, en definitiva, una celebración y reivindicación del cine como espectáculo. Gran trabajo del austriaco Christoph Waltz en el papel de Hans Landa.
Nov 14, 2009
It's great in parts.
Nov 4, 2009
Simply Tarantino's best. A very intelligent script that combines war movie elements with some pointed observations about violence in movies and in society.
Oct 25, 2009
Não importando a qual gênero pertençam ou que história estejam contando, os filmes de Quentin Tarantino giram primordialmente em torno de duas coisas: o Cinema e o amor que o diretor sente por este.
Oct 9, 2009
Hitler is introduced in a cape like a comic-book villain, so moral relativism clearly isn't part of the plan. With its intentionally brash rewriting of history, Inglourious Basterds is what Quentin Tarantino's back-half of Grindhouse should've been.
Sep 22, 2009
As it progresses, it increasingly takes its cues from Ernst Lubitsch's great Nazi farce To Be or Not to Be, except eventually even wackier and less realistic.
Sep 20, 2009
Gutsy, pleasurable and very satisfying. Packaged together by the amazing Quentin Tarantino, this film will slap you in the face and say: "Damn good, what a way to end the summer!"

Sep 10, 2009
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 center stage that it needs to be examined.
Sep 10, 2009
Top CriticTarantino has a created a more moving tale about the Jews and the Nazis during World War II than, for example, last year's much more reverent Defiance, which was actually based on a true story yet came off as shtick.
Sep 10, 2009
One basterd of a movie... Who wants to hear Quentin Tarantino dialogue in a foreign language, thus having to read it?
