I agree, but then I think Tarantino is very over rated. Reservoir Dogs is the only movie of his that I thought was good and would watch again.

reply

I always go to bat for Tarantino's first 3 films, everything after that I would probably say yes as most of his films are flawed to hell and far too overlong.

But Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece, I think his first three films are. Deserving of all the love it gets. But that's just me.

reply

I always say Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are fantastic and Inglorious Basterds is well worth watching for so many great scenes with Col. Landa. The other QT movies aren't must-sees like these 3 that's for sure.

reply

I can understand hate for QT but he has some great (if flawed) movies. Pf is one of them. I think OP probably also hates other QT films that he hasn't even seen yet.

Res Dogs: A
Pulp: A-
4 Rooms: his part B, the movie C+
Jackie Brown: B+

KB2: B-
Death Proof: C-
Inglorious Basterds: B-
Django: C+
Hateful8: C
Hollywood: A

writing cred-
True Romance: A
Nat Born Killers: B-

QT has many problems that bother me. Several of his more recent films would score higher with me if it weren't for some of his directing/writing quirks.

reply

Tried watching this 3 times over the years and still can't get through it. I don't like his films, he seems to just try and up the shock/violence metre every film.

ANYONE HAVING SEEN RESEVOIR DOGS UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS FULL ON FALSE.

I'm a Generation X'er, and I saw PF when it was in the theaters and I hated it. I had an uncle who was a Boomer and he said you had to be older to appreciate the references. Whatever.

I loved True Romance, Inglorious Bastards, and Django. I pretty much hate everything else. I can't say that Reservoir Dogs isn't a good film, I just didn't like it for the gratuitous violence.

yeah, mostly just wins for style
