I don't really see how you can say that he hasn't grown as a director if you compare Reservoir Dogs to Basterds. The difference isn'teven close.Originally Posted by Lazy B

There was nothing clever about the film as many of you say it is. I went into it with a clear head and left very disappointed.Originally Posted by JohnnyRedStorm
You say that in every thread about this movie but never say "why." I'm really curious to know your opinion.Originally Posted by Lazy B
Masterpiece? Really? One of his most overrated films to be honest.
The story dragged on way too long. The humor was very dry. I'll continue in another post because I can't think right now but there wasn't anything that stood out in this film compared to Pulp, Kill Bill 1 (I couldn't finish 2) and Jackie Brown. Its like Tarantino can do no wrong in the eyes of some viewers. Pulp Fiction wasn't even that great to be honest. The Kill Bill series is overrated but people loved the over the top violence present in both of the films. Like all films dealing with the Nazis, Jews and the Holocaust they are all proclaimed great before they hit the screen. IB doesn't fit that criteria in my opinion.
And as Tarantino said it, Basterds takes place during WW2 but it's not a WW2 movie.
Maybe I don't care for Tarantino. He's one of the most overrated directors of the last 15 years. He hasn't grown as a director and people have failed to see that. The same themes are recurrent in each and every one of his films. Everything that he makes borrows heavily from other films or elements before him. Jackie Brown - blaxploitation film. Reservoir Dogs - Chow Yun Fat's City on Fire. Kill Bill series - borrowing from Asian culture once again to create a cluster %%$* of violence. The man is not innovative nor original and his presence on the screen would be better done away with. Planet Terror outshone Death Proof in every facet.
The quote by Tarantino means nothing. Yeah it takes place during World War 2 and of course its not a World War 2 movie. The war itself is rarely mentioned maybe once. I saw the movie, I understood the movie, I just didn't like it.

That's what makes Taratino movies great. I love that little side conversation. Although it doesn't contribute much to the story, itcontributes a lot to characterizing the characters.Originally Posted by sonunox34
I liked Basterds and Kill Bill better than Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. I haven't seen RD for years but I remember not liking it. Pulp Fiction is good, but it's honestly been over-quoted into fame and the crappy little side conversations throw me off. They spend damn near 15 minutes talking about a milkshake.
Nothing you said makes any sense or proves anything besides the fact that you don't care for Tarantino. Most film directors have reoccurringthemes in their movies and borrow from other places and other films.Originally Posted by Lazy B

I wouldn't say Scorsese hasn't evolved. I mean sure, the majority of gangster films were directed by him, but he has such a longfilmography that there is plenty of parity.Originally Posted by eghckk

A film can still be original even if they borrow influences from other places. Tarantino always said most of his films are homages to specific genres of movies that he loved as a kid, they aren't knock offs or imitations. And if you think Tarantino hasn't grown as a director look at someone like Scorsese. Scorsese constantly makes the same types of gangster movies/mafia movies, he didn't stop following the same formula until recently and he's been directing much longer than Tarantino has. So in comparison Tarantino has shown way more growth and range in a shorter amount of time seeing as how he's made gangster movies, a kung fu movie/western, a blaxploitation film, a war movie, horror movies etc. When you compare all of Tarantino's movies none of them are the same.
