Great:

Very Good:
Inglorious Basterds

Jackie Brown

Average:

Kill Bill 1

Deathproof

No, just no:

Kill Bill 2

ORIGINAL: Sutty

Yeah I think Kill Bill was one movie split for profit reasons. I prefer part 2 personally.

Still not seen Inglorious Bastards.

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are stone cold classics that are in most peoples top 50 movies.

Jackie Brown is fantastic movie. It feels like Pulp Fictions older, but slightly less fun, brother. If that makes sense?

Haven't seen Death Proof. Should I???

And the less said about his contribution to Four Rooms (and most others contributions to this little experiment) the better.

Many will say no, but I say yes. Not perfect by any means, and at times it's slightly dialogue-heavy, but it's still got that Tarantino spin and has Kurt Russell driving really fast

As for Inglourious Basterds, you need to get on that now!

I strill think he is a talent to be reckoned with but has lost a bit since Kill Bill 1. I found Kill Bill Vol 2 and Death Proof enjoyable but average with some moments of the QT genius in them.

How, exactly? All he's really shown, thus far, is that he can string together some smart-arse dialogue with homage after homage, with a soundtrack that seems to be composed of someone else's greatest hits.

Yes, OK, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are good, and Kill Bill was half decent, but really he's never done anything that's made me truly go "wow!" He'll never be in the same league as, say, Spielberg or Scorcese might be. Not even close.

ORIGINAL: Expendable
Some of the scenes directed in those films require some talent to direct, like the car chases in death proof, the tavern bit in basterds. His charcaters are normally pretty good and he has the skill to get perfomrances out of actors. Thats why I think he is a talent. I remember sneaking into Dogs underage when it was banned from video and it blew me away. I think that's his best work.

Its the homage and pop culture references stuff that lets him down, It's been done, copied, re done. He hasn't seemed to have matured much and needs to try something completly new and test himself. It would be interesting to see him working from someone else's script. The scene copying, homaging etc does has got borning. which Is why i think he has gone of the boil and felt let down whith his last few films. I wouldn't call him a great, certainly not even close to Spielberg or Scorsese level, but can be a quality, talented director who makes good, mostly enjoyable films. I can't see him changing his ways now thus we will never know he he could have gone up a level.

Quentin Tarantino = meh.

He might have been something wonderful back in the days of, say, Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, but for me he's just on repeat the whole time.
Also, I can't take seriously someone who says that the dogfight sequences in the Italian war movie Eagles Over London are cool.

He has talent. It is just that he, like Lucas, Wright and countless other successful directors needs to be sat down, maybe given a slap or two, and told to cop on. Enough indulgence and lets get back to making genuine great films like PF and JB (Yes- I think its brilliant).

I agree. Also, to the original poster (who has strangely disappeared after just one post), I don't get the point of this thread. Are you trying to say that "Any Quentin Tarantino Movie!" is good....? Or what...?
 
 
You'd be wrong if that's what you're implying.

I'd of thought that was fairly obvious.

Bit harsh saying he's wrong though.

All Tarantino is at the least very watchable: he has a gift for dialogue that has great rhythm to it and with JB he proved he is not a one trick pony.

I honestly don't know what to expect from Django. Anyone read the script? Is it exploitation, dialogue-heavy or it's own thing?

How is that 'harsh' jc? That's like me saying ANY Sylvester Stallone film or ANY John Woo film is great. That's bulls**t. And if I started a thread like that, I'd get gunned down for it.

Used to love Tarantino's movies. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were superb. Then after that he has just gone down hill, and his last three films were very poor indeed. I'm just not looking forward to the new one at all. It'll be the usual tedium; loads of 'tributes' to [read 'copies of' because Tarantino has little ideas of his own any more] obscure movies Tarantino likes, about a minute's worth of action [unforgiveable in a Spaghetti Western, but then Tarantino also made a war movie with no war!] and loads and loads of waffling. I expect the music will be various cues by Morricone etc from other and better movies. Tarantino is at the stage in his career where he should be making his masterpieces, not stuck wanking over old movies like a nerdy teenager who has just discovered cinema.
