Reviews for Inglourious Basterds
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.
12/22/09
A brilliant rebound with a wonderfully complex story, a great cast, and a score that's really up to par with Tarantino's standards...
12/18/09
Quentin Tarantino seems to be hanging on to a lost world of moviemaking. He may be nuts. But he's a nut who cares.
12/16/09
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.
11/14/09
It's great in parts.
11/04/09
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!"
09/11/09
97% mature, solid, suspenseful, respectful, artistic, violent, sophisticated, tremulous, funny, surprising
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.
