Inglorious Basterds or No Country for Old Men: Which movie was worse

Jake: No Country for Old Men

Neither of these movies were great, but No Country for Old Men was much worse. It had the hardest story to follow, disconnected characters, horrid cinematography/scene progression, and most of all it was BORING!!! The scene progression is what bothered me the most about the movie, it is what made the story difficult to follow. It reminded me a lot of the movie Flags of our Fathers, there is no logical progression that made the story flow. Kinda like random bits put together, to make confusing fodder (I finally used fodder in a sentence and it made sense :). There is no established "good" guy and "bad" guy, which is interesting, but it adds to the confusion. When the main character dies it is very anti-climatic. It gives no background on the people that kill him, or how they found his wife. I never got connected to any character, I couldn't care less if any of them were killed or if they lived. This is all a sign of poor film making. I have been told how awesome the creepy guys silenced shotgun and air-gun were, but him an his weapons both let me down. Overall this movie was a snoozer. It is a great example of a bad movie that got far more praise than it was worth, and it is a black mark on the Academy that it won any awards at all.

Chris: Inglorious basterds

Now this is what were all about. Two critically acclaimed movies, that neither of us thought was very good. Now this topic right here is based off of an actual conversation that Jake and I had were we compared to two filmed and got into a heated argument of which movie SUCKED more! I picked Inglorious Basterds, and here is my reason why. Now i am not some action movie junkie who is easily pleased by explosions, hot women, and slow motion sequences ( that was a stab at you Michael bay you loser!) but when i had saw the previews for inglorious basterds i was expecting a fun fast paced movie. But as we all know by now its not anywhere near that description. the dialogue in this film is lengthy, monotonous, and down right unnecessary. I will never get the time back in my life when i had to watch a Nazi party and drinking games. that took FORTY FIVE MINUTES!! only to have them all die. The action is few and far between. and the characters are all unlikeable. Even the movies strong point, the very well played villain Col. Hans Lander portrayed by Christoph Waltz. In an almost Hannibal Lecter like fashion. Ends up betraying his own Nazi's for money. Now lets a look back at the great villains in cinema history, All are very dedicated to there cause, and develop and almost intimate relationship with the movies protagonist. This movie did not have that. I wish i had four hands so i could give this movie 4 thumbs down!
