One of the worst movies i've ever seen. go see paranormal activity instead, it's so much better and was created at a fraction of the cost of this over-hyped over violent movie.

He was beaten to death by a laughing gang of mindless creatures which unfortunately would be followed the whole movie. Sad piece of crap.… Expand

Total garbage. The more I think of this movie the more agitated I become. This movie had absolutely no story to tell, no message to convey and no focus. If this movie had been exactly the same, but a different director's name slapped onTotal garbage. The more I think of this movie the more agitated I become. This movie had absolutely no story to tell, no message to convey and no focus. If this movie had been exactly the same, but a different director's name slapped on it, people would call this movie terrible. Since Tarantino's name is attached, however, people are somehow calling this film brilliant. The only purpose this film MIGHT have had was to offend, and that could have been accomplished by showing police footage of old people being murdered, though with the crowd that raved about this movie I wouldn't be surprised if they'd also find that riveting. Don't get me wrong, the acting was absolutely wonderful, but that can't save every movie. That's like giving a toddler incredibly expensive paint and then watching him drink it then puke it all over a perfectly good canvas. I will admit it's fun to watch people rave about how this film was a masterpiece because it's as if people are trying REALLY hard to grasp a turd and then tote it around like it's gold, all the while looking down at us and telling us we're just too unsophisticated to understand why it's a beautiful thing.… Expand

Enduring this film is about as close to the human suffering of the concentration camps as I can possibly experience. If you somehow found this enjoyable I hope that God will have mercy on your soul...

Una excelente película con el toque característico de Tarantino con excelentes actores ya reconocidos y otros bastantes nuevos. Otra cosa por añadir es la excelente banda sonora.

To begin, this movie sets the cliché notion that Jews=automatically good guys, and all "Nadzees"=automatically evil non-humans who deserve whatever comes to them. This movie serves as propaganda to justify the inhumane treatment of, and genocide of, the
Germans - by dehumanizing them like any effective hate propaganda does to those it deems the "enemy". As someone who detests senseless violence, gore and death, I found this 0 star movie rating fitting.

While this movie is classified as fiction, in certain ways, ways that may not be common knowledge, this movie does have an element of truth to it - the brutality and inhumane treatment of "evil Nadzees" by Jewish supremacist fanatics, and others.* For context: Since the 1800s, within Jewish supremacist circles, the idea of eradicating all Germans (and
whites along with Western civilization and Christianity in general) can
be found in various quotes from the early Zionist and Communist
movement leaders (Moses Hess, Karl Marx, etc). As a result, this sentiment grew so much that the Daily Express from March 24, 1934 featured the headline, "Judea declares War on Germany". This hatred of Germans and whites in general did not begin due to WW2, but still today we are told to view these groups in a negative light, through movies like this.

*In particular, part of this movie may be based off of the actions of a Jewish supremacist group called Nakam founded by Abba Kovner. After WW2, not being satisfied with the high number of deaths from the War, Kovner wanted more Germans dead. To accomplish this, Nakam went and abducted random Europeans and drove them out to a forest, where they then shot them. Another genocidal act was when Nakam members broke into the concentration camp where German POWs were being held, and coated the bread with arsenic to kill the German POW inmates (called "Plan B"). This was after the failed attempt to poison the water supply to kill
German civilians in cities such as Hamburg and Munich ("Plan A"). Also, Jewish partisan gangs roamed around post-WW2 occupied Germany, seizing and occupying the homes of German refugees. In addition to all this, Churchill ordered the expulsion of 15 million Germans from their land, causing 3 million of them to die. From 1939-1945, nearly 7 million German POWs were sent to Soviet gulags, most of them to never return, and anyone fighting the Soviets
(including Russians) were deemed "Nazi collaborators" were also sentenced to mutilation, rape, torture and death. Also, Eisenhower's camps held 1.7 million Germans who were starved, not given shelter, were tortured, maimed and murdered at will by the Allied guards. If
all that wasn't enough, after WW2, the Soviets invaded Germany and occupied the eastern half of the country. The brutal rape and murder of 2 million German women and girls took place by mainly Jewish and oriental Soviet units, causing many other German women and their children to commit suicide to avoid that same fate. Why weren't all these events accounted for in the
movie? Why was the German male made out to be some evil nonhuman worthy of the most horrific torture, when the average German had no part in war crimes? At the end of WW2, Eisenhower said of the Germans, "It's a pity we could not we have killed more". The war crimes committed by Jewish supremacists, the Allied leaders and the Soviets should have been acknowledged in this movie, to make it more accurate with reality, and reduce the glaringly-obvious bias of the movie. The Dresden terror bombings were another example of war crimes perpetrated against the German civilians, which scorched a non-military/civilian city, killing countless men,
women and children. Incorporating these facts into the movie would impart a more rounded perspective to the viewers, even in a fictionalized genre. Or is the goal to leave the viewers with an ignorant and highly-skewed perspective of history, along with a
supposedly- justified hatred for Germans? But some more things don't add up. Knowing what we know now: Why was there no mention of the horrors that the Communists committed against millions of innocent civilians, under the direction of certain leaders who just happened to be Jewish? For example, all the death and suffering caused by Communists in places like the (then) USSR, Ukraine (esp. Holodomor, killed 8 million people), Katyn Forest Massacre, etc.? Why did Torrentino not make a similar-themed revenge movie, with the antagonists as Communists? Torrentino seems to have a penchant for revenge fantasies, but this one was just tasteless. I doubt anyone who went through the horrors of WW2 would ever want their horrors
twisted into a "fun" or "funny" perspective. Disgusting trash.… Expand
