Hans Landa was such an incredible character....

Everything this movie had going for it was DESTROYED in the oh-so-Tarantino way once we got to the ending.

I thought the ending was fantastic bro

Tarantino really emphasizes his attempt to create a ride where the end of the road does not necessarily line up with what the audience clearly expects to happen. This expectation, can often ruin whatever a film has going for it, such as Valkyrie, though based on a true story the suspense if completely cut off due to the audience external knowledge that Hitler was not killed in that assassination. Tarantino wants to give his audience a thrill, to give them something different, and that is what he did with that spectacular ending.

Plus that carving was the first and only time I actually felt some pleasure in seeing such gratuitous gore and violence

There are so many ways it could have been handled though. The final carving was the perfect way to wrap the story up, but the scenes before that where just awful. I don't remember it too clearly... but I'm pretty sure everyone, including the two Basterds in the room, where on fire while they where spraying everyone else with automatic fire. And smoke trick they used with the projector... when Shosanna Dreyfus was laughing in the demonic hologram... that pulled me out of the movie completely. Don't get me wrong, although I "knew" the ending I still wanted it to end like this... I wanted all three of their plans to succeed (Hans' included, just to see what they meant by "debriefing")... but the way it actually played seemed ridiculous. I loved the movie up until this point.

like i'm not sure what you are trying to say the "smoke trick" was michael lighting the nitrate film strips on fire and i don't see how a film of somebody is the same as a demonic hologram
