I went into this movie expecting nothing and hoping for something. I had really enjoyed Kill Bill vol 1&2 and after recently re-watching them on Blu-ray back-to-back, I can say now that I REALLY enjoyed Kill Bill 1&2... but it still did not hold a candle to Pulp Fiction or even Reservoir Dogs for that matter.
I'm here to tell you that Inglourious Basterds is an absolute masterpiece... FAR surpassed my wildest hopes and blows Kill Bill out of the water. I dare say it may even top Pulp Fiction in my books after a few more viewings.
I Very Very rarely, at the end of a movie in the theatres, before I even get back to my car... want to watch the movie again. And then for days after I Can Not stop thinking about it, and how much I want to watch it again... and again!!! I've seen it now 3 times in theatres, with different friends and family members who all express different opinions.
The movie is simply an experience. Tarantino immerses you into this world of his with extremely well done characters and some of the best dialogue exchanges I have ever witnessed on screen... plus the greatest last 15 minutes of a movie probably ever done. There is not a single character in this movie who doesn't deserve an award - but Most of all was Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa. Absolutely breathtaking acting as the sadistic Nazi...
Go See This Movie Now.

First off - before I get to the movie itself... I just wanted to speak to the morons who ALWAYS automatically vote 1 for everything Boll does - without even watching the damn movie. Its just a really childish and insanely stupid thing to do.
I personally have really enjoyed his past few films... you just never know what to expect when you sit down and watch a Uwe Boll movie and I commend that! In The Name of the King in particular for its insanely over-the-top obviously made to be laughed at entertainment. I mean really -- KING Burt Reynolds??? (best "last conversation before dying" scene I've ever watched... I laughed for like 15 minutes)... and a Ray Liotta Magi who constantly says the most hilarious stuff throughout the movie. And the choreography of the fight scenes was actually quite commendable (sadly not violent, but its all good) - anyways....
... and then Seed, Postal, Tunnel Rats (best war movie I've seen in years - phenomenal flick) --- all 3 are fantastic movies in their own right. Far Cry was god awful and so was Alone in the Dark 2 (sorry Uwe)
And then we have STOIC! - In the same dark/depressing vein that made Tunnel Rats such a kick ass movie... this thing takes you on a wild ride. A ride NOT for the squeamish to be more precise... and not for people who can only watch "Hollywood blockbuster" crap to be entertained. Thankyou to the other reviewer for this movie; I did not know most the movie was "improv" on the actors part and that's an incredibly awesome move on Bolls part to boot... gave the movie a feeling of reality you don't see much anymore. The last half hour in particular is some seriously intense stuff. The acting was also very good... after watching American History X like 19 times + Animal Factory (highly underrated movie), and of course Detroit Rock City + even Dark Reel was pretty damn entertaining... I've always really liked Furlong -- and I'm really happy to see him again in top form. The other actors too were excellent; especially Sam Levinson as the most sympathetic/remorseful of them all.
So go find this movie and watch it - then find Tunnel Rats and watch that... and then STOP giving this man the automatic 1's he does not deserve (except for maybe Far Cry... dude, that was just BAD)!!!

I'm going to make this simple as we already have MANY perfect reviews which explain this movie well. Absolutely creepy, trippy and over-the-top eye candy filled storytelling. Incredible animation - one of my favorites to date.
If you have not seen this yet - go rent it now. If you have a sexy TV then get the 3d version when u rent it. Orrrr buy the BluRay!!
Now I only feel terrible for missing this in 3d theaters :-(( Simply the fact that Beowulf was boring on regular DVD when the 3d version was absolutely incredible... this movie is amazing even without 3d... /cry oh well.
