No poll, because the answer is obvious.

No, but you might suffer from an excess of good taste. Where does anyone find the attention span to sit through the ridiculously over-indulgent wankery that began with Kill Bill?

Well said, although I consider the two with Christoph Waltz guilty pleasures and he was actually pretty good until that point.

Idk,  it after liking his last two, I really was. It satisfied with the Hateful Eight. The first half was funny, the second half was just unnecessarily gross.

If you don't like Inglorious Basterds, then you're a National Socialist.

Or at least a fascist.

IB is comprised of two overly-long, overly-hyped scenes surrounded by filler and ironically fascistic revenge porn.

I feel like Tarintino's movies always involve some universally despised, one dimensional villain ("Nazi's!" or "Knights of the Golden Circle" or whatever) which to me is rather annoying. He never creates a plot that demands he spend sometime drafting an original background; no, instead, he just creates his heroic persona and sends him out against the latest historical American villain in vogue.

All of his movies are basically the same: about an illegal immigrant that escapes prison and kills al-Baghdadi to avenge something something explosions something something Eva Longoria's sweaty, shiny tits, something something fireball. The end.

Of course, I also hate action movies in general.

Oh yes, because films like Great Wall and Suicide Squad are really setting the bar for American cinema.

There are things about Tarantino that I like a lot but he's clearly going downhill. I'd agree that the process started with Kill Bill (which is a shame, for a number of reasons) but The Hateful Eight is the first of his movies that I found actively unpleasant. Unfortunately I doubt it'll be the last. Melanie Laurent's character from Inglourious Basterds deserved way better other characters to play off of.

As someone who really enjoys most Tarantino films, there are very very legitimate reasons to dislike his movies.

I completely agree. Pulp Fiction mostly avoids that, and that's probably why it's the only one of his movies I straight-up like. The others are guilty pleasures at best.

I'd have to speculate that "Reservoir Dogs" would also be in there. Every other Tarantino film I'm aware of is sheer self-conscious ridiculousness, which can be amusing, but doesn't necessarily make for "good filmmaking" (whatever that is).

No, but not liking Andrzej Wajda films does make you a Nazi, though.

I've been getting a ton of recommendations for Pulp Fiction so I definitely need to check it out.

While I enjoy Quentin, plenty are turned off by his gruesome cinematography.

He's definitely not my cup of tea, but there's probably a certain age group and demographic to whom he will appeal. Not me. His first movie was just kind of shocking, then Pulp Fiction was a freak show - something you can't really look at, nor can you look away from it because you just can't help but wonder how bizarre it's really going to get, and then his storytelling went into free fall after that.

Despite one's tastes, I'm not sure that there are very many storytellers who have more than a couple great stories in them at most.

No that doesn't actually describe ANY of his films.
