I just saw this movie. It was very very good. They were all great, but one guy, named Christoph Waltz, who played a Nazi Colonel was absolutely remarkable. If an award would go to anybody, he deserves it. Really incredible. Great to see the Nazis get what they deserved

I heard it was pretty gory...I'm probably going to see it soon.

I'm not sure what I thought about this. Act one was awful for obvious reasons, but I almost walked out in the second act (something I have never done), the one with Brad Pitt. I can cope with mass killings but when they make it personal like that I just can't take it. Soldiers are just fighting for their country, even if their country is the bad one. They were just young men. After Act 2 it was mostly ok but I had to take myself out of the movie, mentally, to continue to watch. If you like Tarantino you'll probably like this. If you don't you probably won't. Good acting but hard subject matter. Lycan, there is an excessive amount of gore.

We saw it on Saturday night. I laughed so hard at the Brad Pitt scenes. He was hilarious. The guy who played the Jew Hunter, I almost couldn't stomach the scenes where he was eating or drinking. It's like nails ona chalkboard when people make noises while they are eating. At the end I turned to my husband and said "that's not what happened to Hitler. But I prefer this version to reality." It was quite graphic, true. A real "guys" movie.

Kitt, I particularly enjoyed it. They weren't killing for their country, they were killing innocent people for the insanity of their leader. Sorry, I enjoyed every single bloody, and personal minute of it.

I think I will have to wait for this movie to come out on DVD to see it, from what I am reading here. Ginger, I think Christoph Waltz has been nominated for an award already, somewhere. He was on the Today Show last week, but I had to leave for work and missed the interview.

Yes, I've seen both. Both are easy to follow. District 9 is pretty real life, despite it being scifi - quite dark. I've seen IB called a "revenge fantasy" which describes it well. If you're not a Quentin Tarantino fan or you're sensitive I don't think you'd like IB, I didn't. Obviously some liked it a lot though.

with the exceptions of the several times I had to cover my eyes, I liked it. The actress who plays the part of the little girl in act 1 all grown up is beautiful.

I think District 9 is probably more palatable to a mainstream audience. I like Tarantino, but this is not Pulp Fiction, nor Reservoir dogs. A fantasy revenge picture is a good description. I'm still not sure what to make of IB. I didn't "like it", but it has images that certainly stay with me. And yes, Brad Pitt's character was funny.

A real "guys" movie? I don't know what that means.

I wouldn't describe it as a "guys" movie. There are several long, talky moments. Not a lot of guns-a-blazing type scenes!

I liked the movie. A lot of my friends were irked that it turned out to be fiction, but I wasn't. With all the blood and gore in the violent scenes, the scene that most disturbed me was the strangling scene. Overall, I enjoyed the movie, and Waltz's performance was the major reason.

Just rewatched this movie a few nights ago - really entertaining. I am always surprised by how much I love Tarantino films -- I always think "this looks too violent" and then I actually watch the movie and LOVE IT.

I just rewatched it too. I think it is so well written and directed. The acting is wonderful. Brad Pitt's and Christopher Waltz's characters were both so funny! They did a great job. I really enjoyed it (had to close my eyes a bit though during the gorey spots) and think it is a really good movie. I'm not really into violent movies. Sure, there was violence in the movie. There was a lot more than violence though. I don't know that I've ever seen another Tarantino movie except for bits and pieces of Pulp Fiction.

I thought it was Tarantino's most mature work to date. I personally think Jackie Brown is his best film, but Inglorious B is his most finely crafted film.
