Been down this road before and it is a long one…
You’d expect a Tarantino forum to have a healthy debate about his films, and even some gripes. However, what surprised me most about this forum was that even the QT fans were dissappointed with the man. Saying he lost his step, and all kinds of stuff…
If I wouldn’t have everchecked out this forum I would have never known how much Kill Bill I&II sucked, and how horrible Death Prood REALLY was. Just seems more cool to be a critic than a fan of Tarantino nowadays.
I’m not a big fan of Death Proof, but I did enjoy the chase scenes. Also, the Grindhouse experience at midnight with a packed theater was also pretty cool too. Kill Bill (I&II) is not only a great action movie, but it is also one of my favorite revenge themed films ever. I eagerly await The Whole Bloody Affair.
Cannes has turned out to be a blessing and a curse for Tarantino. I guess one thing everyone has in common is that we all, for the most part are waiting for IB to be released. Some of us a bit skeptical based on reviews, our prejudices against Brad Pitt/Eli Roths acting ability, it’s stray from the “Dirty Dozen” type of theme, or whatever.
For the most part, Tarantino has been one of those directors that hasn’t let me down. Say what you want about what you think is his worst film, but if you break each plotline to it’s essence I think he did a great job of delivering on each of those premises.
So let the bashing continue.
