can't see what people hate about it

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2009)

I absolutely loved this movie. I think it was one of Tarantino's best. I honestly am very surprised that there are so many comments stating this is a bad movie and Tarantino trash. I understand not everyone loves QT but how can you not appreciate the writing and acting in this film? (I got the feeling that some of these comments are not fond of scenes that contain lengthy dialog. Its sad they believe this film is crap all due to their own short attention span.) Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender steal the show. I am rooting for Christoph Waltz to get an Oscar for his performance, no one deserves it more than him. I loved his portrayal of the menacing yet cordial Hans Landa, it was truly spot on. I remember Michael Fassbender as Stelios in 300 and I was excited to see him get a chance at QT dialog. The bar scene was my favorite part of this film simply because the superb delivery of Lt Hicox's fake laugh. I was having a mild panic attack due to the suspense of that scene (Saving Private Ryan kinda suspense) yet it was hilarious at the same time...never felt that before, thanks QT, Mr. Fassbender and Mr Diehl as Major Hellstrom for making a great scene even greater. I have to admit I was teeny tiny bit disappointed with Brad Pitt as I was looking forward to seeing the same dedication to his character as the one he gave in Snatch but it didn't take anything away from the film. He still gave an outstandingly funny and convincing performance and Im not sure anyone else could've fit the part of Aldo Raines. Mike Myers seemed a little out of place but it was cool to see him in a QT flick, totally unexpected but thats Tarantino for ya and thats the kinda stuff his fans love. Some people found this film too brutal. Some comments even seem to sympathize with the German Nazi's who met their fate in a few scenes and seem upset with QT for making their death a nasty one. Thats the beauty of this film though. We are supposed to feel a little bit bad for the brave German officer who agrees to meet his end by "The Bear Jew" rather than give up the location of his other men. It doesn't make the guy a saint, he still killed for a corrupt and evil army. You can look at the Inglourious Basterds the same way. The movie is a masterpiece of our time. I will watch it again and again the same way I can with his other films.
