diarmaid Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Went to see this last night at vue. Have to say its actually pretty good. Read reviews saying its brilliant and the best thing hes done, and others saying its fucking awful. Its neither, but its definitely worth a watch. Its actually quite strange since almost half, if not more, of it is effectively a foreign film. Which is excellent. At least its not english speaking actors failing at german and french accents. The films worth seeing for Christoph Waltz alone who is absolutely brilliant. Brad Pitts also good, if not a bit hammy at times. As most reviews think, it is a bit ridiculous, but all in all its a good movie.Anyone else seen or planning to see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hopefully gonna go see this on Wednesday night with me mum. Looking forward to it. The critics were split over Death Proof which I loved so hopefully I'll feel the same about this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calzone Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Seen it yesterday and loved it. It's so ridiculous it's awesome. And I have to agree with you about the Christopher Waltz part, throughout the film I just kept thinking how amazing his acting was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I absolutely loved this film.I would urge Tarantino fan who has been put off him by the utter failure of Death Proof to give him another chance as this is now my favourite film of his so far. The film jumps from arthouse to cartoon to stereotyped garbage, but somehow it is all brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tank Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Christopher Waltz steals the show, has some of the best momments in the movie, anyone else suprised about mike myers actually playing a good character, only brief but good.

The Kernel Loaf Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Absolutely fucking fantastic flick. Christopher Waltz is an incredible actor - when he is present on-screen, you are trying to figure out what his real intent truly is, and he did such a good job of portraying that.

I liked how it was parallel to the first Hitler scene in terms of style and stereotype. I loved every scene with the english soldier.

Luke1976 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yep i loved it also. The chapter featuring the bar scene was my pick of the bunch. The slow build up in tension was superb.C Waltz wasn't in that scene but he lit up the rest of the movie. BINGOOOOOOOOO. Classic. Oh and how much did you want some of that strudle he was chomping on. Plus did anyone cacth Harvy Keitel's voice on the phone near the end. Nice touch as hes really supported Q T 's films through the years. Indeed he championed the script for R Dogs and put alot of his money into the project cos he believed in it so much. Finally i found the credits funny when they added the usual line of "any characters in this film that resemble anyone in real life is only coincidental" errr that guy in the small black tach who was that again?

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I saw it last night and thought it was fantastic. So over the top, yet it had all the elements of a classic Tarantino film. The scene in the basement pub is probably the highlight for me, either that or Brad Pitt's impersonation of an Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I thought it was great for all of the things mentioned above and also because every German man who wasn't really part of the cast was named Herman. For some reason that made me laugh. Just a very fun movie. We did feel as if we had been sitting there for hours though, but in a good way, which was strange. Had been wondering how he was going to get the foot fetish in there but he certainly managed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So think that'll be my plan for this week.Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Most of my friends haven't thought very much of it at all for some reason. I can't understand it, I mean I thought it had the most satisfying movie climax since There Will Be Blood. How can you not love Tarantino?

aekido Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Great film, but what do you expect from TarantinoLove the little touches, like the text translations, every so often there would be 'Oui' instead of 'Yes' etc. It's the little things that count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
