Issues with Comedy Central Embeds (1sttube Talk Post)

Im sure Inglourious Basterds will receive rave reviews but... (Blog Entry by JiggaJonson)

Sarzy says...

I think if people are coming out of this movie disappointed (which I'm sure they are), the problem is more with the way that Tarantino has been talking about it and the marketing than with the movie itself. Tarantino has spent years talking Inglourious Basterds up as his "guys on a mission" movie -- and it isn't. At all. The stuff with Brad Pitt and the Basterds doesn't amount to much more than a subplot, and what is there doesn't really resemble stuff like the Dirty Dozen that supposedly inspired QT. And of course the ads have been making it out to be an action movie starring Brad Pitt. Which it isn't.

But once you get past what it isn't, and realize what it is, I think it's actually a really good movie. Certainly leaps and bounds above the mediocre Death Proof, and more in line with his quality stuff like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I thought the opening scene with the Jew Hunter and the dairy farmer was pretty much riveting, and right up there with the best of Tarantino. Once you realize that most of the suspense is going to come from the nuances of the many conversations, and not from overt action, the movie is actually pretty darn good. Or so I thought, at least.

Also, the whole last sequence in the theatre was pretty much awesome.
