I just saw Reservoir Dogs as well! Thought it was bloody amazing, especially the music and dialogue. I have also seen Kill Bill Vol. 2, and thought that was ok. Inglourious Basterds is also really good, even though it was advertised wrongly.Redworld13 said:After finally seeing reservior dogs, which i found entertaining, i still didnt think it lived up to the expectations i had for it. I loved kill bill and inglourious bastards, not to mention the grindhouse films, yet im still no sure where i stand with his film making, What does the escapist community think?

I agree with you on this one.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:He's overrated.
Yeah, that's about it.
Now Christopher Nolan, that guy's a fucking genius. Memento kicks ass.
You know, it was advertised (at least over here it was) as a balls to the wall, non-stop shooter/ explosion-fest, when we really got a well written, almost thriller style film. A more tense moment? The bar scene in the same film. You just knew something was going to happen but couldn't tell when or what.Ryank1908 said:How do you mean?SCAFC Chimp said:Inglourious Basterds is also really good, even though it was advertised wrongly.
I love Tarantino films. His style can be a bit predictable and almost slightly self-aggrandized sometimes but he truly does write dialogue and atmosphere like no other, the first attested to by Pulp Fiction (which is just epic) and for atmosphere, I challenge anyone to find a more tense moment that the beginning scene of Inglorious Basterds.
I agree; he's pretty much invented his own style of directing and his dialog and characters are always really interesting.Axolotl said:Arguably the best filmmaker working today and certainly one of the best of all time.
He was the director. It would be weird for his name not to be on it.bicepfetishist1 said:Sin City - Brilliant. Had nothing to do with him at all wish he'd take his goddamn name off it. 'Presents' my ass QT.
