It is his first film where the bad, underwhelming points outweigh the good – and his first that cannot be recommended easily.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2024
The quotes and tributes to other films are still present, but here they acquire a new value, especially towards the end, where the cinema becomes a space for revenge... [Full review in Spanish]

Inglourious Basterds shows the power of film as both a wartime weapon and an elemental force – dangerous as propaganda, incendiary when ignited.

Inglourious Basterds is a study in suspense.

If Tarantino had trimmed 15 or so minutes from the final cut, this might have been the “masterpiece” that he himself unsubtly suggests in the movie’s final scene. Still, “Inglourious Basterds” is a vital addition to Tarantino’s impressive career canon.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 2, 2023
When he wrote this last line of his screenplay, Quentin Tarantino must have felt the same way about Inglourious Basterds, a film which embodies all the traits of a great Tarantino film, yet also encompasses the director's palpable love for cinema.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 23, 2022
[Inglourious Basterds] is quintessentially Tarantino and a masterpiece that will be considered a classic fifty years from now.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 13, 2021
It wasn't satisfying... Perhaps I'll change my mind. Perhaps I won't. But today I'll simply say that I thought it was inglorious indeed.

Fans will find plenty to love with the ample servings of clever dialogue, a spattering of brutal violence, and a revenge story built for a truly explosive conclusion.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 28, 2020
Fortunately, in Waltz Tarantino has found an actor who carries off the script's multi-lingual wordiness with panache, while investing his character with a combination of suave menace and knowing humour.

Waltz gives the film's most satisfying performance.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020
Quentin Tarantino's unconscionably entertaining Nazi-kitsch gore fest thrusts him back into the cultural conversation...

Inglorious Basterds is glorious!!!!! The film is so enjoyable, so entertaining, so smartly written, so well crafted, so beautifully lensed and so well acted that I didn't want it to end.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 8, 2019
Inglourious Basterds is bold, brazen and satisfying in the extreme.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 29, 2019
It's very, very entertaining. It's also, of course, pretty violent, and the kind of inventive, colorful violence his fans have come to know and love.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019
...Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's best film.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 21, 2019
Tarantino's Western-inspired fantasy acts as a real-world corrective of how the Nazis perhaps ought to be seen - with utmost scorn - and in what context this sort of cinematic violence can, and even should, be indulgent.
| Aug 21, 2019
It's clever, riotously amusing in parts, and does have some salient points to make about the relativity of the acceptance of violence.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 26, 2019
You have to respect Tarantino's vision, moral aversions or not. But the result this time feels like a great idea that ranged out of hand.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019
