Inglourious Basterds earns its R-rating many times over. Even some teenagers will likely be upset/terrified by some of the brutal violence. That being said, this movie is genius. I was enthralled the entire running time, and my mind was blown by the brilliant dialogue, fascinating characters, and wildly thrilling plot. I disagree with CommonSense that it is only for adults - mature, slightly older teens can definitely watch this movie.

its a good action movie lots of violence 15 and over for violence don't let your kids see this

I love this movie. I am 18, and I think this movie is fine to watch as long as you are 16 or older. I wouldn't want most kids younger than that viewing this. It is very violent and uses extensive expletives. It also depends on the kid. A few 15 year olds could watch this and not be disturbed, but there are some 17 or 18 year olds that would find it offensive. It really depends on the maturity and sensitivity of the kid.

Remember this is a Quentin Tarantino film. If you don't know him he is famous for mixing art and violence. The film is intelligent due to the great script and performances that he makes in his movies. His style is this, 20 minutes of talking and then 5 minutes of constant shooting and killing. And the killings are both strong and graphic, so if you don't like blood/gore don't watch this film. There is a brief scene (like 5 seconds) of a man having sex with a woman. There is constant swearing in the dialogues between the characters, with the f words, like any other Quentin Tarantino script. The problem with this movie is that it lacks heart or any moral message, nor I consider this movie to be Quentin's masterpiece. All the characters of this movie are bad and make monstrous actions, does the tittle of this movie. If there is any message is that there are no heroes in war, all victims of each other's hatred, does I view this film as a great anti-war film. If you like a film with great direction, great performances, an impressive script and don't mind the strong graphic sequences then I suggest this movie. NOT appropriate for kids under 17 due to the graphic killings and strong language!!!!

Definitely not for my kids. I was pretty squeemish over various scenes and unlikely to recommend to my wife

I honestly have no ideal why it says "Not For Kids" on here. The movie really isn't that bad except for a few scenes of graphic violence and language. The main reason i think someone wouldn't like this movie is because there is a lot of talking in it and not a whole lot of action. And when i say a lot of talking, i mean "A LOT". Im a huge Tarantino fan and i do like this film, but not as much as i would've hoped to. It does deserve it's R rating though because while there isn't a whole lot of violence, it is graphic and brutal when it's shown from everything from people getting beating to death with baseball to people getting strangled. There is also a good amount of swearing but it's actally pretty light for a Tarantino film. There's also a very very quick shot of a man and women having sex, but the shot is so quick it's not explicit and actally funny. I'd say it's ok for High Schoolers that won't mind all the talking in the movie and can handle the violent scenes.

Let's face it this is an AMAZING movie, but not for kids. It's Taratino, he does NOT make movies for kids. There's swearing, murder, betrayal, blood, gore, explosions...the list goes on and on. It's war. It's a side of the war against Nazi Germany that we wish had happened but didn't. This is one of Tarantino's best. There is action and tension from beginning to end. Loved every second.

I loved this movie. It has both action and story! It shows kids what the Nazis deserved and should have gotten.
