Really enjoyed this film. Very violent at times yes. But what do you expect? Waltz was fantastic.A-

God, I love Tarantino!Yes, I'm biased. I own every one of his films, including True Romance, and I genuinely love each one of them. Tarantino knows how to execute excess. He's ballsy, uncompromising, and he almost always pushes it as far as you want and, for a closet gore-hound like me, it's incredibly entertaining. And when that excessive violence is sprinkled with great performances, a great concept, and intelligent dialogue... it can only be Tarantino.

Amazing movie, I loved the cinematography. One of my favorite movies ever.

[TheMovieman]

Probably second, maybe third, as my favorite Tarantino movie just behind Jackie Brown and perhaps Pulp Fiction. Top notch in all the categories.A-

Great film. Lots of fun..B for me

Oh God, what an astounding film. An incredible script that easily ranks the best of its year, and the powerhouse performances from Waltz and Laurent (who was shamefully snubbed) were an immense delight. Great cinematography, too. One of my favorite films ever.A+

[fishstick]

A+ Totally fuckin awesome.

One of the best opening scenes ever. Introduced us to Christopher Waltz. Great acting all around. Slightly fragmented, but that's easily forgivable.It's always good to see original content instead of recycled crap.

Loved it. A lot of fun. Brad Pitt is hysterical in it. Christoph Waltz made a great villain. And of course that great Tarantino dialogue.

[CoolioD1]

Not as good as Pulp or Kill Bill, but nonetheless a fantastic film.

I think this was the first Tarantino move Id ever seen. I can go on and on about this film. The opening scene is spectacular. From that first moment one screen, Waltz let's you know you're in for a treat with him. The acting is all around great. I can watch this over and over and not get tired of it. The screenplay is phenomenal, and blends the drama with comedy very well.A

[Incepted]

Seeing as it was seeing Pulp Fiction that made me become a film fan my views on Tarantino are always biased. In saying that IB is brilliant. Landa is probably the best villain in the last 5 years. The opening scene is also amazing.

That's the thing, he isn't a "Nazi." At the end of the film he is offended by being called "The Jew Hunter" because of the ideological conontation it carries. His response "A detective. A damn good dectective. Finding people is my specialty so naturally I work for the Nazis finding people, and yes some of them were Jews. But 'Jew Hunter'?" says it all. He doesn't care about ideology or anything "Nazi." He just does his job and does it as best he can. Of course, in a way it makes him even more reprehensible than if he was a Nazi because he's essentially amoral about the whole thing.

lol wtf, that wasn't really the point. the point was he was in perfect balance of comedy and evil

Does Marcel get out? Also do the Americans in the theater know that it's Shosanna's plan? Do they even know her? Does she know them or Hammersmark?

To your first question - no one really cares. To your other 3 - no.

[rockNrollaDIM]

I love this movie. I need to re-watch it again soon. Everybody is so awesome in it.My favorite scene by far is the BAR scene. So, so tense.

In the original script it makes it clear that Marcel stays in the theater to die.Coolio answered the others.
