I don't think anyone has made a topic for this movie and I searched it and nothing came up. So I thought this movie was horrible yet I have asked many people and they have said that it was great and saw it several times in one day, which confuses me. I wish that I had not spent my money or time to see this. It had about an hour of just talking (not consecutive) which got really boring and had few jokes. I thought it was a comedy, I thought wrong. The only funny part about the movie to me was when [(spoilier)kind of] when they had to speak Italian but all of them had horrible accents . You had to see it. Well I might be tough but I give it a 3 out of 10 yes you read it a 3 out of 10. It made me feel just watching it. So I suggest this movie is good to see if you love blood & gore I know your out there.

It's Quentin Tarantino, it's like Kill Bill all over again. I thought it was relatively good for a Tarantino production, better than Grindhouse: Death Proof, but in no way comparable to Pulp Fiction. Of course, everyone has different tastes, maybe these types of films just don't really appeal to you.

I haven't seen those films so maybe it was a good film compared to his others. But that is just my opinion and I would like to read other peoples opinions too.

Well it is Quinten Tarentino who is prabably the marmite of movies, but I think his movies are great and will be seeing inglorious bastards at some point.

So what do people hear think of some of his other movies?

Pulp fiction: Great film, kept my attention throughout and had some very cool characters which I think the film may lean on just a teeny bit too much to male it a good film but it is still a great movie anyway.

Kill Bill 1&2: Both good with lots of action and violence and the way she introduces each character is great. not his best and at two movies is a bit long but had some very good moments and is deffinately worth watching.

Deathproof: The girls!!!! the car chase at the end is also a contender for the best car chase ever put on screen. The lengthy dialogue between the second group of girls that starts the second act is a bit too long though.

Saw Inglorious Basterds yesterday with Ras - loved it !
Tarantino has his own pace in the movies, slow with a lot of smart dialog! And Hans Landa is one of the best characters yet by Quentin!

Cant wait for this, sadly though its not my normal type of movie, its a reading movie, sigh.

Why does everyone go on about kill bill, from dusk till dawn was his best.

I saw IG the day it came out, and loved it apart from the gore. The characters were so rich and memorable, the dialogue priceless, and it was also really funny. I understand that Tarantino doesn't appeal to everyone though, it's film buffs who particularly appreciate his films because of all the genre references. If you are a 10-y-o kid who loved the terrible excuses for "films" which are Transformers 2 and G.I.Joe, then I can understand where you're coming from. Tarantino is an adult taste.

Quentin played a great character in dusk till dawn and is credited with writing the screenplay but, for what it's worth, he did not direct Dusk till dawn. I guess that is why that movie is not mentioned as being his. Still it's a great movie. My dad got it me when I was 12 and told me nothing about it, he just said watch it, so I did. I did not have a clue there was anything to do with vampires in it all the way through the first half of the movie, it was great

[DarthSion]

Yeah fair, but then a movie is only as good as its story, look how the botched Indi 4.
I think i was about 14, i know in high school everyone was questing Cheech, and that well i cant say, but the girls part.

What a great movie. While there were parts of prolonged dialogue which drug on for some time, the movie was all around great. It was my first Tarantino movie, and I have to say he has a very interesting style. Both Brad Pitt and the buy who played the Nazi Colonel were great. They really made the movie. Also, the writing was very well done.

I am not going to give away any spoilers here, but let me just say how I love that it departed from the stereotypical WWII movie and branched out in a totally new way.

swman- True the dialog was well written and that was also my first Tarantino movie too.

[General Armendariz]

Why do you think it was bad? It was great!

[DarthSion]

Tarentino has gone Uber soft, ultra lame, way to dragged out, too boring, and over hyped, minimal action, everyone made it out to be a gory movie, but it was tame, didn't see the need for the R rating.

First off, I'm definitely a Tarantino fan. I've seen just about every Tarantino directed, and most tarantino written films except IB. However, I don't think that anyone who goes to one of his films should be surprised when a film is long and has alot of dialogue. Extended conversational character exposition is as much a Tarantino film trait as stylized violence.

A few other points.

1) If you went to IB expecting a comedy, you're going to be dissapointed from the get-go

2) If you're familiar with older films and genre's (70's films, Spaghetti Westerns, Kurosawa films, Blacksploitation films, ww2 films, etc) you'll get alot more out of his films. Almost every one of his films has been a riff on a certain type or types of classic films.

3) Dusk til Dawn is written by Tarantino, but is definitely a Robert Rodriguez film in the vein of Desperado and Once upon a time in Mexico.

4)Feelings about other Tarantino films:

Jackie Brown: Neat plot and charachters, but coming a while after pulp fiction, it could be better. A riff on the Balcksploitation films of the 70's. Good, but not one of my favorites.

4 Rooms. Room (Film) #4, The Man From Hollywood: Abolutely Brilliant adaption of the Rohld Dahl short story! My favorite Tarantino script, and it's only a quarter of the movie.

Reservoir Dogs: One of the more brutal Films, and really only for one disturbing scene, that will stick with you longer than you would like. Very well written, again with tons of dialogue.

Kill Bill 1,2: Two of my favorites. It's like getting a history of Tarantino's favorite films in 4 hours. Violence at it's most stylized, and alot of memorably characters.

Pulp Fiction: This pretty much defines Tarantino for most folks. Probably his most watchable film, as it's several plot lines and various characters keep it moving quicker than most of his other films. Not my favorite, but it's about half way up the list, and it's a ton of fun!

Death Proof: I'm still not totally sure about this one. Very 1970's, however, in making a 70's film, he also seems to have taken some of the flaws of 70s films like disjointed character development and an odd ending. Still a good one, but not one of my favorites.
