Title is now spelled Inglourious Basterds ...
I'm surprised the self proclaimed movie experts haven't chimed in on this yet.
Not enougj CGI?
Tarrintino meets the Spaghetti Western meets the Nazis meets his unique story telling.
I thought the movie was great!
Ummm swd commented. He's a self proclaimed movie expert.
Great film. QT has done it again.
BTW, I havent seen Saw, but the gore in IB wasnt THAT bad. Kill Bill was worse IMO.

It was ok. Very fast bursts of violent energy followed by 25 minutes of looooong conversations.
The writing was well done and the directing/acting was top-notch, but it was too long. I liked the homage to Once Upon A Time in the West and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, but the film does suffer from what made Pulp Fiction so overrated. Extraneous dialogue that, while clever, does little to further the story. And the fact that the Basterds get very little screen time didn't help either.

You seem to see that as a bad thing, Chap. I see it as a positive in this instance. You seem to think Pulp Fiction was overrated, and I strongly disagree. Now, this isn't to say that Tarantino's style of extended, extraneous dialogue can't backfire (can you say Death Proof?), but he's usually pretty good at it.
As for the time, I didn't know how long it was giong in, and it felt like a much shorter film when I left than it really was. Of course, that's probably because I was into it so much; if I hadn't been, I would have felt as you do, I'm sure.
