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

Reviews for Inglourious Basterds
Top CriticTarantino's World War II epic is both bloody and talky.
12/14/09
Tarantino's visual style and flare for the fantasy make for an intriguing and colorful World War II drama.
12/12/09
Mr. Waltz's dynamic performance contrasts satirical and dramatic hues, effectively charismatic and repulsive at once.
12/06/09
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.

It's great in parts.

Simply Tarantino's best. A very intelligent script that combines war movie elements with some pointed observations about violence in movies and in society.
10/25/09
Năo importando a qual gęnero 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.
10/09/09
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.
09/22/09
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.
09/20/09
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!"

09/10/09
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.
09/10/09
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.
09/10/09
One basterd of a movie... Who wants to hear Quentin Tarantino dialogue in a foreign language, thus having to read it?
09/09/09
Everything else [except the Basterds themselves] works so beautifully
09/09/09
t's so rich in cinematic value, it's difficult for me to understand how a film critic could fail to be impressed by it.
09/09/09
By letting his brilliant dialogue-centered screenplay showcase his superb cast and keeping the gory violence in check, this fictional WWII saga is Tarantino's masterpiece. Who knew?
09/08/09
Why is Basterds such a colossal disappointment? It's mostly because Tarantino indulges all of his worst impulses as a filmmaker and ignores what he does best.
09/07/09
Pretentious? Narcissistic? Gory? What's Not to Love?
