It was a fairly good film. While I will not critique the film entirely as I usually do, the most striking point is also its weakest. Despite the entertaining dialogue (with many irrelevant but irreverent parts) that was fantastically done as was the first scene, sometimes it did bore and drag on too long.

I would rate this one 6.5/10.

I enjoyed this film, one of my friends who isn't really into this style didn't get the film, but the rest of us enjoyed the tense scenes, action and the hilarity that ensued from QT's masterpiece.

Col Lans, by far the best character, and when him and 'Aldo' finally meet on screen I couldn't help by laughing at the 'I-talian'. Waltz should definately get an Oscar for this because he played his character perfectly, and I felt Pitt could have been on screen more, but he was still funny when he did. I even found Mike Myers small part to be quite amusing!

I loved seeing Hitler jumping up and down going "NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN"

+1

If he doesn't get an Oscar for this, then there is something wrong. He played his character brilliantly, the talk in the house at the start was one of the best bits of film I've seen for a long time, so tense with the will he, won't he?

and lol @ Hitler's face getting blown to pieces :p

The way the movie was going for a while i thought it could have been loosly based off of certain things, like a group of jews torturing nazis and the plan to kill all the nazi in the theater, and it just failed horribly.

Then when they start shooting hitler in the face...

I ordered this on Blu-ray two days ago - It comes out in the UK on 07/12/2009

I was just reading an article that we'll be getting it 15/12/2009, so yay! :D

The disappointing part is that no one expects a lot of extra features on the first released. Considering how bad off The Weinstein Company is, they are probably going to try and milk as much money out this as possible. So first release will have poor extras and then some time next year, probably a year from theatrical release, they'll release a Director's Cut jam packed full of features.

Oh I really liked this. Whilst at this juncture I think it's his best film since... Kill Bill vol. 2, I think repeat viewings are almost sure to make me like the film even more. QT movies are like that. The only glaring thing I didn't really like was how the plot to destroy the Third Reich came together way too easily in the end. Not everything went smoothly, but everything fixed itself too easily.

My favourite chapter is chapter 3 -- the rendezvous in the basement bar. Perfect. And Chapter 1 is the finest Leone sequence Leone never directed.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it was possibly his most "polished film". It really shows. His really long single-take steady-cam shot in the foyer of the cinema for example, was amazingly well put together.

And Waltz role was just delicious to watch.

I still think his scene with Aldo, where he's trying to offer his terms of conditional surrender, is his best. The opening scene was brilliant, but this scene shows just how human he is, while stilling being so menacing:

He played his character far better than any other in the film. All of his scenes had a genius twist that makes him totally unpredictable, yet uses humor perfectly in tense situations.

I saw it today...i dont see why people are praising it so much. What is there to like?

Somehow i anticipated something more serious.

The movie is way overrated.

5/10.

Naturally, the more you look into a movie and read reviews before, the more likely you are to head into the theater with higher expectations and then come out of the theater saying it is "overrated." Either this film just doesn't fit your taste or you failed to see the deeper meanings in the scenes. I have to admit, I was not sure myself whether this was worth watching. But I am certainly glad I did.

I guess the movie is best enjoyed in the theaters, which it is no longer playing, or when it comes out on DVD or Blu-ray, that isn't available until December 15. I guess you can't fully enjoy a movie off your computer......

:D

i watch 90% of movies on my pc, and i enjoy them if they are good, so this has nothing to do with it :p

I like QT's reservoir dogs, and pulp fiction, but kill bill wasnt something to my taste. I guess this isnt either.

SOmehow i dont enjoy watching people being scalped :(

Perhaps you aren't in war movies, but this isn't exactly a war type film like Saving Private Ryan (needs to be on blu-ray), but is almost all to do with story about the war.

I thought the film was amazing, and actually enjoyed the entire thing, beginning to end. At times the film is a tad slow, but it isn't about action really, it is all about the story about how the Americans tried techniques to assassinate Hitler in World War II. It also has to do with showing the way Germans portrayed themselves back in WWII, compared to how the rest of the world sees them.

Whether or not this was based on a true story, I thought it was very cool to see tactics used to kill off the worlds most hated man, since other tactics weren't working.

Anyways, not everyone is going to love this film, but this is definitely something I need to purchase on Blu-ray

What I've found interesting is how much my view of this film has actually co-incided with MOST critics.

(In case you missed it, I tend to judge movies very differently than they do)

My ONLY issue with this movie was how little time we had with the Basterds. I guess I was expecting

more Rambo and less of a back-story, dialogue feel. That being said, I still thought it was overall

QT genius and I'll definitely be buying it on Blu-Ray.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
