I watched Inglorious Basterds last night. I have mixed feelings about this. Parts of it I enjoyed a lot, but overall I was disappointed. All the actors were good, but I really cringed at some of the plot devices and didn’t like the ending at all. Too many things just conveniently happen a certain way to move the story along. It’s a one watch for me.

Interesting take on the plot devices and how things just happened conveniently. I never thought about it before. I love the film, but I guess for me it was just because the characters were so absorbing. Especially Waltz. And the dialogue was just so good. It was definitely hard to turn away. But from just a plot perspective, you make a point. Still love the film to death though.

This is coming back into theaters for Oscar Week and I am thinking about going to see it since I didn’t get a chance to see it in it’s initial theatrical release. I’ve heard good things.

Is there a release date for this on Bluray or 4K?

Waltz was great and so was Brad Pitt. It’s probably just me, but I found the basement scene really stupid.

 

SPOILERS
 

The meeting spot just happens to be a basement which just happens to have an unplanned nazi party and just happens to have an officer alone on a side room who just happens to get suspicious and everyone dies except the only person we need to live, but just happens to leave evidence around that proves she was there (doesn’t bother to remove it). Just one example.

Interesting, it's been out for a while. I'm wondering if they're just waiting for the Oscars to slap the awards on the packaging lol

Really just a repost from the "Movies in Cinema" section, but figured it fits here too:

 

Finally got see The Batman yesterday. Overall, I think it is a great take on Batman and a fun movie overall. I am only echoing things others have said but will put my thoughts down:

 

PROS:

Robert Pattinson is a great Batman! I know some don't like his Bruce Wayne but I don't think he is playing Bruce Wayne (I dont think Bruce Wayne even exists yet in this movie). This is a story of a very young Batman - they mention in the movie that the Waynes were killed 20 years ago and Bruce was 10 or so when they died so he is only around 30 and has only been Batman for 2 years. He says he is "Vengeance", not he is Batman. Batman is all trauma and violence at this age, he has no need for "Bruce Wayne". I think his Bruce Wayne (which is a character that Batman plays) will come in time as Pattinson's Batman grows and changes.

 

Finally good Batman combat! I will always love Nolan and the DK trilogy but the hand-to-hand stuff in those is hard to watch.

 

Reeves knows how to make a cinematic shot like very few directors today! The intro of the Batmobile - the roar, the engine beginning to glow in the dark, exhaust flames shoot in all directions - it was like a monster coming to life. It was gorgeous.

 

That car chase!

 

We finally get to see Batman be a detective!

 

CONS:

3 hours was pompous and unnecessary. I was exhausted coming out of this. Should have been 2-2.5.

 

The shriek that the Riddler lets out when he attacks his first victim.

 

Paul Dano - I was very excited for him to be the Riddler but his take was all over the place. He went from terrifying in the mask, to hokey talking to Batman in chains, to a trite characture while singing or dancing in his cell. Just didn't do it for me and I think that Paul Dano is a great actor.

 

Batman's brainstorming session that ruined the floor instead of doing it in the Batcave (the Wayne Corp accountants are going to find that wierd the next time the come over to discuss company finances).

 

I will need to let this soak in a while longer but right now it comes in second behind TDK for me. A solid 7.5-8/10. Excited to see the next one!

 

With Gotham flooded I wonder if they are going to reference the Snyder Year Zero storyline in coming sequels...I would like to see that.

Scream 2 was a good sequel. After watching Scream 5 in theaters and than watching Scream 2 for the first time, all these actors are super young.  Now to watch 3 and 4.
