It's not enough to say that Inglourious Basterds is Quentin Tarantino's best movie. It's the first movie of his artistic maturity, the film his talent has been promising for more than 15 years.
Tarantino exercises both his obsession with vengeance and his fascination with the movies.

With a confidence typical of its director, the last line of Inglourious Basterds is, "This might just be my masterpiece." While that may not be true, this is an often dazzling movie that sees QT back on exhilarating form.
Tarantino has already caught some flack for daring to use the Holocaust as material for another of his bloody live-action cartoons, but of course the generation that experienced it for real has mostly faded away. In that sense Inglourious Basterds is a social marker as startling as "Easy Rider" was in its day.
For all its stylistic flourishes and interlocking storylines, Inglourious Basterds is, at its bullet-riddled core, a bloody good war movie, twisting and twisted and full of wordy shrapnel but no less kickass for it.
Mostly, though, there is Landa, whose unctuous charm, beautifully modulated by Mr. Waltz, gives this unwieldy, dragging movie a much-needed periodic jolt.
The only hope for Inglourious Basterds is that audiences will embrace it the way the Broadway crowd did "Springtime for Hitler": because it's so bad they think it's good.
Dieser Film ist einfach genial. Sei es das Schauspiel, die Kulissen, der Einsatz von Musik oder die Handlung. Ich würde sagen das dieser Film keinerlei Schwächen hat. So viele Szenen sind mir im Gedächtnis geblieben. Der Anfang, angelehnt an klassische Western was Kameraführung, Kulisse und Inszenierung betrifft ist meisterhaft. Oberst Landa gespielt von Christoph Waltz bis da noch ein relativ unbekannter Schauspieler, liefert eine unglaubliche Performance ab. Man könnte einen Drei Stunden Vortrag über diese Figur des Oberst Landa halten obwohl er nur eine Screen Time von vielleicht 30 Minuten hat. Christoph Waltz frisst mit seinem Schauspiel die Szenen auf und spielt seine Schauspielkollegen in den Schatten. Die Handlung simpel, eine Rachestory mit einem Hauch von Spionagefilm. So interessant erzählt das man durchweg am Ball bleibt und ein Tarantino Finale was wieder völlig ausufert, im positiven Sinn.
Ich hätte nicht gedacht das man eine Szene wo zwei Leute Apfelstrudel essen, spannend gestalten könnte. Dieser Film hat mir das Gegenteil bewiesen. Eine der besten Szenen der Filmgeschichte, meiner Meinung nach.
Ich mache hier jetzt mal Schluss. Schaut diesen Film!!!!!

This is not my favourite Tarantino movie. Directing here is not at his usual levels and everytime I watch it i feel like this is a movie that tries to be funny but it doesn't succeed in its intent.

I`m one of the people who did not get the memo that we all should praise this movie to high heavens because its Tarantino's baby.
I like his previous movies, a lot in fact. Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time. But I dont get Inglorious Basterds at all. Tarantino drags the story through painfully long and pretentious dialogue that is not funny or interesting. It sometimes works in his movies, this time it doesn't. Its not a war movie, its not a comedy, nor a thriller. Its just... Tarantino. It has its moments but unlike most of his movies this one is easily forgettable.
