Inglorious Barstewards.

Once watched it the once, but it just didn't do it for me.
For me, Pulp Fiction is still the benchmark for Tarantino's films. Never get bored or tired of watching it.
 
The opening scene of IB is perhaps my favourite ever film moment, Christoph Waltz performance leaves you on the edge of your seat throughout. Its not a film I can keep coming back to again and again like Pulp Fiction of Kill Bill v1 though.

+1 for Tarantino is a genius comments

Watching it now for the third time.

Does anyone else think it is a work of art ? For me it is Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece.

Opinions ?

His masterpiece imho was Pulp Fiction.

This however, is an amazing film, oozes class and style and brilliant cinematography and writing. Had this been by a new up and coming or another director it would have being his masterpiece.
 
Didn't like it myself. Theres some great montages in there which meant I didn't feel like it was a waste of time, but as a collective I felt it was severely lacking. There should have been much more screentime of the barstewards doing their thing/developing the characters, etc. better and the last 1/3rd of the movie felt like they didn't really have any good ideas so ran with whatever came into their heads first and slowed it down to fill up the time as much as possible to try and mask the lack of real substance.
 
I didn't expect to like it, and to be honest for some of it, I was sort of thinking meh, this isn't very good. But once I came out of the cinema I was thinking about it for ages. I sort of enjoyed it very much retrospectively.

I think it just took me a little while to take it for what it is and I did really like it.
 
IB was excellent, I first saw RD and PF when I was in school so didn't appreciate them for much more than the violence and cool scenarios at the time, but watching them back now I enjoy them all the more.

I think PF is still my favourite Tarantino film overall.
 
Here's my 'speed review' from the '...watched last night' thread :)

Inglorious Bar-Stewards[sic]

Tarantino superbly conducts a combination of bloody and talky in this intentionally brash rewriting of history.

Charismatic and satirical, an emotional and exciting score; all splattered with the director's signature (just incase we missed it! )

9/10
 
I have to say the pub scene was one of the best moments in cinema for me. It was phenomenally well done and you had no idea just what was going to happen next. Absolute quality film that has Tarantino's signature all over it.

This. Watched it last night & it is the textbook Tarantino film. Lots of scenes with people talking & ending with lots of gunfire. Can see why Christoph Waltz got his oscar for this role. Completely over the top performance by Pitt, dont normally like him but this role fitted him like a glove! :D
 
Just to add how amazing is the scene when the cinema is getting burnt down? When the music kicks in and the french girl is on the cinema screen telling them how evil they are
 
bought this in HMV about a month ago and still not watched it along with quite a lot of DVDs I've bought recently....bond boxed sets, only fools and horses complete series, spaced, black books.....hmmm might have to watch them all at some point.
