I never really liked Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. I thought Kill Bill was pretty cool, as pure fantasy fluff. Never saw his other two.
I can't really differentiate why I liked Kill Bill but hated this one. The revenge is there, the flashy violence is there, the borrowed music is there, etc. I suppose it's more because of my own changing thoughts on art, rather than something Tarantino has done. But I do think it being a historical movie, dealing with the Holocaust, World War II, Nazis, Jews, American soldiers, had a lot to do with it, as well. I think his "talent" for writing dialogue is completely unwarranted. Royale with cheese, tipping, good milk. It's pointless. When you strip away his fanboy enthusiasm for movies, you get nothing. "Paying homage" to previous movies is the curtain of Tarantino. |

Tarantino is like Seinfeld meets Scorsese. It's not going to be high minded, but it will entertain the shit out of you.

Except Inglorious Basterds IS high-minded. It may be the most intellectual movie to come out in 2009.

The "Paying homage" element was a bit much in the first Kill Bill but I still feel that Tarantino is on the best writers of dialogue in quite a while. The dialogue of the scenes in the basement and the cafe were outstanding.
