I agree with everything this gentlemen said, except the bold part!

Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009)



As I mentioned before, this should have been made into a TV series instead of a single 2 hour 30 min movie. The world of the basterds is so large and interesting that it becomes its own weakness. It feels like something is missing, for example, the motives and origins of certain characters. Inglourious Basterds is a film that is very episodic, a film connected by the bloody highlights of a TV season, thankfully flowing well thanks to QT's writing, but nevertheless tends to have a pacing problem and is a bit spontaneous.

On the flip side, the acting shows immense flexibility and subtle comicness, whether it's the silly accent of Aldo Raine or the sly menace of Hans Landa. Speaking of Hans Landa, the first moment of flexibility in emotion is shown in the famous first scene, where a smoking of a pipe turns Landa into a true villain.

So the film starts of tremendously well, then starts to tumble down, but doesn't descend into a level of bad. It stays flat and has a few bounces due to some memorable conversations and actions. Overall a decent to good film that once again... should be made into a TV series, Please QT, I would watch every episode of it.

QT should do like Peter Jackson and release extended versions of his films later on, with the digital and physical releases... I hate how he tells us he actually had enough story in both Inglourious and Django to make a mini-series. I would gladly watch both!

Agreed. Have you seen the CSI episode QT directed? To this day the repetitive traits of a dragging series transformed into brilliance by one talented man amazes me. Not only is QT mini series a good idea, but it also has good reasons.

Can you watch it without having been following the entire show?

Yes, you can. Most CSI episodes can be watched on their own. Tarantino did two episodes of one storyline.

I really just want you all angry and confused the whole time.
