Critics Reaction to Basterds

[quote=“Tim12345”]
It’s strange how common opinion about Tarantino has changed over the last decade or so. I can’t figure out why he was hailed as ‘the saviour of mainstream cinema’ back in the 90s and now regarded by many as an immature hack when his style hasn’t really changed.

It’s simply because his style has been very quickly copied by other directors all over the world, by mainstream cinema, videoclips, adverts. Not to mention the huge quantity of movies sold under the Tarantino label (written by, produced by…) which rushed on big screens right after the PF success, movies very often not as good as the QT ones. Due to this overexposure, some people got tired of the QT style.
