QT lost his way with Kill Bill Vol 1 and hasn't impressed since.

Man,
kill Bill was epic, though he borrows a bit heavy from 70's explotation films. Hell, even "Basterds" is a remake.

agreed on his "borrowed" material and basterds is a remake, however...
QT is phenomenal Haven't seen a QT movie i didn't enjoy, including the two kill bill movies. and even death proof. yeah a bit over the top but entertaining none the less. having seen the original bastards and loving qt, i personally am looking fwd to this

Sylvester Stallone's "Expendables" is gonna kick Q.T. Basterds out of the park.

The Watcher:

While I agree in terms of enjoyment at the cinema, THE EXPENDABLES might be more of an all-round good time than Quentin�s flick...

... I think we all know BASTERDS will stand the test of time while Stallone's action extravaganza will be forgotten a few months after its release.

Besides, it isn't a competition. You're allowed to like two things at the same time, you know?

i've seen the movie and it's great(mix between western and horror movie,very gore)and the performances are amazing (specially the germans) ,fantastic reaction from the audience but i don't understand Universal this cut is enough longer

Tarantino is all style over substance. He hasn't made a good film sinse Pulp Fiction. He used to be a genre busting auteur and now hes just a self parody.
I wish he would do a Polanski and bugger off for 30 years then come back when he has some new ideas. The big chinned knob.
