1/5 DO NOT LISTEN DO DROOLING FANBOYS -- This Movie SUCKS. SUCKS.
  by FerretKing
Everyone I know who does not have a man-crush on Q.T. thinks this movies SUCKS. And they are RIGHT.

BORING.

INSIPD.

TRITE.

UNFUNNY.

UNMOVING.

The opening scene (Hide-a-Jew) is awesome. After that -- 2+ hours of sheer CRAP.

BYPASS.

4/5 Flawed but awesome
  by Andrew H. Smith
First off, let's get this out of the way: Quentin Tarentino will never, EVER top "Pulp Fiction". Period. Not gonna happen. So everyone really needs to stop comparing his movies to "Pulp Fiction". Second, this isn't supposed to be an accurate, dramatic depiction of World War II. We've seen a million of those types of films, and no portrayal of the Holocaust is going to surpass "Schindler's List", nor should it: it's one of the best movies of all time. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, "Inglourious Basterds" isn't perfect but it's still a good movie. Christoph Waltz is to this movie what Javier Bardeim was to "No Country for Old Men": a menacing, sadistic lunatic who you wanted to die but at the same time didn't because he's such an interesting character. Hopefully Mr. Waltz will get more roles in major American films, because his portrayal of "the Jew Hunter" is amazing. Brad Pitt is extremely entertaining as the leader of the Basterds, Aldo Raine, and his "artwork" and the "debt" he extracts from his men are so horrible that you have to love it. He also does a wonderful East Tennessee accent that other actors could stand to learn from (I'm looking at you, George Clooney). However, Melanie Laurent steals the movie as Shosanna, the secretly-Jewish Parisian cinema owner determined to not only take out "the Jew Hunter" for murdering her family but also the entire Nazi regime during the premiere of a Nazi propaganda film. She's cold yet vulnerable and sweet yet ruthless, and she's clearly the center of attention in the scenes she's in.
Unfortunately, Tarantino's obsession with dialogue prevents this movie from taking the step from good to great. Despite the title, there are precious few appearances by the Basterds; they're pretty much confined to the end of the first chapter and portions of the last chapter (and then many only make cameo appearances). Eli Roth as Donnie Donowitz ("The Bear Jew" as he is know to the superstitious and scared Nazis) is a particular lost opportunity, because aside from Pitt's character he's the most interesting of the Basterds as well as the most sadistic (in a good way: we're talking about killing Nazis, after all). Diane Kruger's portrayal of double-agent Bridget von Hammerstock isn't terrible, but her character is so underexposed and boring that there's no real reason for her existence in the film. In fact, the entire episode in the bar is so unnecessary, drawn-out, and straight boring that you have to wonder what Tarantino was thinking shooting this scene at all; he could've used that time to undergo more exposition for the Basterds (or at least cut down on the length of the movie). This exact same criticism applies to the British agent and the scene with Churchill. I personally would've liked to have seen Shoshanna's biracial romance brought out a little more, and the entire high command of Germany meeting in a movie theater does seem a little far-fetched even for this movie (although the end result is wonderful).
Overall, I would say take this movie for what it is: a fun, incredibly violent (seriously, don't see this if you're sqeemish) ride. The ending is bittersweet, but anyone who hates the Nazis will still wish this is what had happened in real life (preferably in 1933). Now, some people (at least among critics) are upset because they think the all-Jewish Basterds are so horrifically violent that they are no better than the Gestapo. My response to this is who cares?! The Nazis - specifically the high command and the SS - commit so many atrocities that it really doesn't matter how violent the Basterds respond in kind: they can never be worse than the Nazis they terrorize. Definitely see this movie.

4/5 Another hit for tarantino
  by Virgil Collington
Quentin tarantino continues with his eclectic style of directing in this film. A all star cast as usual that coincides with each other. Each having there own tale that in a bigger picture all coincides with one another. I felt at times the film could have used more detail but all and all a great film. Also the majority of the film is either in french or German so if your not a big fan of reading subtitles then this may not be for you. Equipped with some humor and some strong acting chops the film delivers the suspense.

3/5 not bad overall with bad ending
  by Seech (TN, USA)
I kind of enjoyed the movie but the ending spoiled it for me. Good acting, pretty good plot, but how did they come up with such a weak moronic ending is not something I understand. C+ for me.
