Quentin Tarantino, yay or nay?

jsmoke · 28 Feb 2016 at 20:21

Just watched, The Hateful Eight, thought it was pretty meh, another semi pretentious attempt at being deep and arty, it's really just a bit boring really, any professional movie critics here?

Easyrider will be along shortly to correct your opinion and tell you everyone else's

Yay, hateful eight is a master piece of story telling.

Well he made Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown, so I'm grateful

MR_Punk · 28 Feb 2016 at 20:51

He has done some utterly brilliant films and some average films. I don't think he's done a particularly bad one.

I don't think its his best movie but it is a well direct movie.

And yes, he is one of the better directors alive today.

I liked Dogs, Fiction and Bill 1 but the rest have been varying degrees of meh for me. Not seen His latest yet.

RobDogDog · 28 Feb 2016 at 21:11

Not a big fan of anything he's done. Just not my type of style I guess.

easyrider · 28 Feb 2016 at 21:16

Tarantino is an auteur...

Wether you like or dislike him is irrelevant.

End of thread.

Inglorious ******** is my favourite of his I think, that or Pulp Fiction

+1, although in my case, nothing to with his style, just think the films are massively over-hyped. Reservoir Dogs was ok, Pulp Fiction was overrated, disliked both Kill Bills, and stopped watching Django after about 20 minutes.

chroniclard · 28 Feb 2016 at 21:28

Hateful Eight was average but I do like Tarantino in general.

redline · 28 Feb 2016 at 21:47

Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece and my favourite of his by a fair margin. It has been in my top five films since its release. I've yet to see The Hateful Eight and am not that compelled to do so at this time, though I felt the same with Kill Bill but ended up loving it.. I've seen so many long films recently I just couldn't stomach another one.

So Tarantino = 'yay' He can't win every time, but he's undeniably interesting.

I enjoy everything he's done and look forward to his stuff.

This for me too

DEL 707 · 28 Feb 2016 at 22:03

Can't say I'm much of a fan, I remember renting out Pulp Fiction back in the day with high expectations and coming away very "meh".

But I do love me some Kill Bill.

A thread entitled "Quentin Tarantino, yay or nay?" and everyone's opinion is irrelevant :confused:

I like him, his work is non-generic and although I find his films hit or miss I look forward to seeing them.

The mere fact he is an auteur renders any opinion futile.

In film criticism, auteur theory holds that a film reflects the director's personal creative vision, as if they were the primary "auteur" (the French word for "author").

How is it irrelevant whether we like him or not?
You're not makling sense.
