Man that guy makes the greatest movies ever.hes a genious wish i culd say the same about hes acting though. my fav is pulp fiction. true romance wasnt the finest of films though. what do u guys think?
Man, get outta here with that "Hero sucked" mess... Hero was all about the way stories and legends are handed down from generation to generation. That's why there were so many arrows, and the colors in the scenes change... It's beautifuly and masterfully done. I have not seen a better movie since I saw Hero. I dunno if I would call the man a genius... maybe a coke head, but genius seems a little far stretched. Coke heads do some amazing shit sometimes, and that's how they get the big cash and the big fame...
I want to see Hero sometime I loved Pulp Fiction, the acting, directing, and writing wqas all great. Quentin Tarratino is funny as hell too. He was on Kilborn after Kill Bill came out. I would love to hang out with Tarratino.
I think he's a moron. Anyone can add more and more and more blood, guts, and sex to a movie, which is all he has done. The guy has taken subtly, kicked it in the nuts and burnt it with a flame thrower.
I also think he's a moron. I think this review sums up everything I hate about Tarantino and his lame-ass movies. http://www.steamshovelpress.com/altmedia17.html Kill Bill: Disney's Bloody Gore Fest Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' is so stupid, so empty and so pointless that it could even give nihilism a bad rep. It's a bloody gore fest full of blood flying, blood spraying, blood spurting, chopped-off arms, hacked-off legs, headless bodies, and endless sword fights, set to cheesy 1970s soundtrack music. Sound like fun? Questions remain. What possessed Satanic-wannabe Quentin Tarantino to make this piece-o-crap called 'Kill Bill'? What possessed Miramax sleazoids Harvey and Bob Weinstein to spend $55 million to finance it? What possessed the phony family value shills at MPAA to give this an R rating? And what possessed Disney suits to even release this complete waste-of-film-stock? I know, I know, it's the built-in Cult of Death factor. Tarantino's ugly revenge fantasy 'Kill Bill' is a paean to the Angels of Death, masquerading as entertainment, but is it evil? His cheap, white-cracker, trailer-trash ass bets you the price of admission, you won't know till you lay your money down. 'Kill Bill' is the 21st century version of the Grand Guignol, gory special effects meant to titillate and shock. And ultimately bore. Hatchet in the head. A plank full of nails in the eye. At the end, the Uma Thurman girl-assassin character says, "Leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me." The restaurant's full of severed arms and legs and heads. Sound like fun? Tarantino fancies himself as a Herschel Gordon Lewis for the Lobotomized Generation, a gore-meister for the Gen-X Blood Feast of other disenfranchised geeks like himself. Uma Thurman, whose father Robert Thurman is a "Buddhist scholar" has a line in which she says, "It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack." Kuan Yin will be thrilled. Other Satanic Zen sayings include a voiceover like "Kill whoever is in the way, even if it's the Lord God or Buddha himself." Evidently nothing is too wild for the end of the Kali Yuga. Evidently Thurman's character was repeatedly raped while she was comatose. Sound like fun? In another sequence, a young girl watches as her mother is murdered in her own kitchen. The Uma Thurman character then drives off in bright yellow pickup truck with 'Pussy Wagon' painted on the back. 'Kill Bill' is the twisted expression of an arrested emotional and mental development. It's splatter-punk pornography for 14-year old boys, who don't understand psychological warfare or mind control. Tarantino's other grossly over-rated movies include the chronologically scrambled Reservoir Dogs (1992) (who can forget the chopped off ear?) Pulp Fiction (1994) (more hitmen with bloodbaths) and Jackie Brown (1997). Meanwhile the unexplainable idol worship of Tarantino grew to near mythic status. And what's happening in the real world? At the same time 'Kill Bill' is released. Faux "Christian" Pat Robertson publicly pronounces that the State Department should be nuked. Faux "conservative" Rush Limbaugh admits to being a hillbilly heroin junkie, And faux 'President' George Bush keeps lying about the War In Iraq, while body bags of dead twenty-somethings are flying back to the United States daily and the suicide rate of depressed US soldiers rises to unprecedented levels. So what's the real purpose of 'Kill Bill'? This is the movie they'll use in CIA mind control torture sequences when they you strap you down, shoot you full of drugs and make you watch 'Kill Bill.' It will desensitize you in no time. Maybe they'll even make you watch it when you join the Army. "If you was a moron, you could almost admire it," says a Texas cop looking at the carnage of the murdered wedding party in the movie. And sure enough, Time Magazine's in house moron Richard Corliss wrote a review which gushes at Tarantino's bad boy geek persona, "There's a daring, exhilarating spirit to the fights too," he writes. "These are gory production numbers, immediate but also abstract...Even the arcs of blood have the propulsion of crimson choreography." "Immediate but also abstract?" "Propulsion of crimson choreography?" Puh-leez. Corliss is so erudite and sophisticated. Bet he can't wait for the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." And Quentin Tarantino?

haters! i think tarantino is pertty good i liked kill bill one and two and pulp fiction. i havent seen hero yet but my brother said it kicks ass
I thought the movie 'Natural Born Killers' really, really sucked ass... but Pulp Fiction was fucking great. I can't think of any others I've seen by him.
Rat guy you suck. Did you really feel the need to copy the whole damn website? WTF was the point of the link? I have not seen either Kill Bill but, I read that articl and from some of the comments I can tell he is a retard. "Immediate but also abstract?" The only reason he qouted this was because he didn't understand the wording so, immediately it must be stupid or should I say so right away it is stupid "Puh-leez. Corliss is so erudite and sophisticated." WTF? How the fuck can you criticize someone's sophistication when you say, or even worse, write the word "Puh-leez"?!?! "Uma Thurman, whose father Robert Thurman is a "Buddhist scholar" has a line in which she says, "It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack." Kuan Yin will be thrilled. Other Satanic Zen sayings include a voiceover like "Kill whoever is in the way, even if it's the Lord God or Buddha himself." Evidently nothing is too wild for the end of the Kali Yuga." WTF does that have to do with anything? "Pulp Fiction (1994) (more hitmen with bloodbaths)" You have to at least acknowledge this movie as an intelligent film or your opinion is completely useless. You don't have to like it but, it is much more than just "hitmen with bloodbaths" This complete idiot would probaly call Scarface and The Godfather, movies with gangsters and bloodbaths. You don't have to like Tarrantino but at least have an educated opinion, "Puh-leez" don't be like this stupid ass.
i find him overrated and a bit scatter-brained at times, but i genuinely like his ideas and the passion he throws into them, regardless of whether i find the finished product any good...
I think he's great. His writing is so badass. Anyone here see Four Rooms? Basically it's 4 shorts by 4 directors. Tarrantino's is really good. And if you saw Kill Bill and didn't like it and haven't seen Vol 2, then do yourself a favor a see it. Vol. 2 was WAY better than the first IMO. I loved Bill's whole speech about Superman. Now THAT's Tarrantino.
orange skies, Reservoir Dogs was fantastic Especially the scene where the mob boss is handing out fake names for a bank heist (based on colors) and one guy doesn't like the name he was given Mr. Pink ................. h
he didn't Direct hero...its not "his" movie......he didnt Direct true romance either...he wrote the screenplay......he directed Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, the last section in Four Rooms, and the ...kill bills
Kill Bill Vol.1, in my opinion was more of an homage to Kung Fu style and substance. Especially with the camera work. He's a big kung-fu nut and a fan of the "cheesy" old films that have developed a huge cult-following. Volume 1 was eye candy. It was a film-maker having fun for all the Kung-Fu nuts. It was a visual opening to a deeper story that came out in Vol2. Many people who didn't like Vol.1 still gave Vol.2 a chance and walked out of the theatre amazed, and with a better appreciation for the story as a whole. Volume 2 was a very very different movie than Volume 1. Am I right people? Volume 1's violence was purposely cartoonish and over the top. Volume 2 had less action (or it was condensed into some very intense scenes which were spread out farther between) and more story. It also had more of Tarantino's wit and famous dialogue. Think of the whole movie like a drawing. The first half drew the outlines with hard-harsh lines, while the second half was like the shading and the texturing, filling in the lines with detail and meaning. It's like Tarantino threw us in-medias-res (in the middle of), in the first half, and then explained it all in the 2nd volume. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the 2nd half is the superior volume, and if you haven't seen it because of being turned off by the harsh setup in vol1., rent vol.2, smoke a doob and let yourself get lost in the story... Quentin really knows how to spin a good one. And Bill's "Superman Speech" was worth the price of the movie ticket alone.
that drawing idea was a great thought, it really explains it well. i myself didnt like 1 very much and then i saw 2 and thought it was cool so i went back and saw one again and understood the whole thing. those movies are a little too intense for me so id prefer to smoke that doob after.
I've seen Four Rooms! Loved it. Made me like Tim Roth all the more. Of course I had to pick favourites.. the final chapter in the story, the one by Tarantino was excellent.. Bruce Willis went uncredited, the bartender "Paul" from Pulp Fiction was spot on, and Quentin himself.. call me crazy but I liked his acting in this movie. He was so frantic..and believable as being on the cusp of walleyed drunk. Reservoir Dogs - Took place ALMOST entirely on one stage set. In a warehouse. And it was about 90 percent dialogue. And it still puts me on the edge of my seat. Every time. I mean, who else cheered or blurted "YEAH!" out loud without meaning to when Mr.Blonde got it, right at the HEIGHT.. of that farkin' TENSE scene? That pacing, that tension, that climax... THAT is how you make a movie. Perfect performances of shakespearean proportions...seriously (Mr.Pink and Mr.White especially) Pulp Fiction - Where do I even begin? - The "Deliverance" scene with Ving Rhames (step aside Butch..) - Brett's Tasty Burger - Poor poor Vincent (I liked him and was disturbed for weeks to see him go out like that - Ringo and Hunnybunny - Lance and the needle (someone fainted in the theatre during that scene, wasn't me) - Royale With Cheese - best Christopher Walken cameo ever. - Jimmie's Hardcore Gourmet-$hit - Harvey Keitel as The Wolf (that's 30 minutes away, I'll be there in 10) - Poor Marvin (I shot him in the face!) and so on... I've never held my breath for an entire movie before. That movie in particular broke the mold. I was in grade 10 when I saw Pulp Fiction in the theatre, and I had to peel my jaw off the bubblegum floor once the credits hit. There was so much to digest after watching that movie.. it's been 10 years now if you can believe it.. and Pulp Fiction is still fresh for discussion. It just stood out that much... and still does. True Romance.. loved it. Ok.. I'll wrap this up ..for now..
i don't want to be mr.pink, how about mr.purple. i love him. only seen a few of his movies but i love em
meishka, In the opening restaurant scene we also learn the possible meaning behind Madonna's hit song Like A Virgin....... Great stuff h
ive never seen resevoir dogs..... my brother says its really great and its alot liek boondock saints (which i loved when he showed it to me) im not that heavy into intellectual movies so is it worth my time to go rent it?
