i think tarantino has grown as a director.
while some parts of reservoir dogs were just amazing, others were merely ok. basically every scene in the warehouse is amazing but some of the backstory of some characters was not necessary.
now though it seems that tarantino has been able to make an enjoyable film from beginning to end. he has also proven that he can make slapstick comedy (vol. 1) and very serious drama (vol. 2). he is widening his talent in the directing film and i think it is working.
not to mention he has toned his ego down a bit.
