i liked it lot...i thought the opening scene was well done, and brad pitt did a great job throughout.

I'll be avoiding this like the plague. Hate Tarantino films, no idea how he ever made it.

Because his movies are very entertaining and you are one of the very few who think that way. Having said that, I bet you'd see it if you didn't know he directed it.

You are giving me the impression that you simply hate entertaining films. I'd be interested to know why you hate his films so much? Although I dont see them as weaknesses bad language, violence, dense dialogue are usually only minor quibbles.

Dense dialogue? Tarantino?

His stuff is nothing more than on the surface, except for his myriad references to old films 99% of his audience won't have seen. His dialogue is woeful, his story telling weak and his use of violence and profanity as plot devices nothing less than childish. I love all types of films from stupid comedies to Hollywood horrors to those maybe seen as little but more of a thinker, and Tarantino's films do nothing for me.

I doubt it. The trailer was terrible and I've read reviews that leave me entirely unimpressed.

hm... should i watch it or wait for the dvd...

[Grndslmhttr3]

Decent movie, way overhyped, not as violent as everyone is thinking/hoping.

Dense dialogue? Tarantino?

I would just have a lot of trouble categorising other films if i felt tarantino's dialogue was woeful, story telling weak, violence a plot device, profanity childish.

I've watched Rambo, Terminator, Raging Bull recently and all would fall foul of those criticisms at some level. As for his stuff being on the surface, I can perhaps see where you are coming from there. It is not very deep and meaningful as it is hard to identify with largely criminals/murders/killers who are the focal point of many of the films. Interesting discussion though.

You'll be killed for this!!!

I thought that was the best line. Pretty funny stuff. The movie, like mentioned, not the best, but worth watching. But that's how I've felt about all Tarantino movies the first time I've seen them. They take a few viewings before they get me. I'll tell you this though, he sure knows how to put together action scenes.

Saw it last night, and loved it.

Tarantino's humor is so ridiculous that I think its often overlooked. The movie had so many different elements of humor that really made the movie for me. And the cinema sequence was beautiful.

"Yes"

"No."
