every director makes a crap movie at some point look at martin scorsese and his career. QT movies are in their own unique genre and i always find them entertaining and enjoy trying to pick out the references and influences. The soundtracks are normally pretty cool as well. JB sucked as did killbill 2. But the rest of his movies are all pretty top notch.

He is one of the great and original filmmakers working today. Not every film has been great, but Pulp Fiction was fresh and fun to watch 15 years ago, and still is. The latest one, Inglorious Basterds, is also very entertaining and has one of the best endings in any movie. The car chase in "Death Proof" is second to none. As far as making "B Movies" as some posters have said, they miss that he is trying to make movies that pay homage to that "genre" - they are intentionally over the top but in an entertaining way.

Most of his stuff's pretty good and I find the films watchable more than once. That makes him better than most in my book..

Pulp fiction was one of the greatest movies ever. Loved it all the way. Reservoir Dogs was great too. Not that I like blood and gore, but the characters and dialogs were good. Jackie Brown was not bad either. Kill Bill is the hardest to warm up to, but you gotta love the humor. I think he is very ordinarily extraordinary director. Just the effort of making something different deserves respect, and he got mine.

"Jackie Brown" was cool and likable, thanks to Samuel L. Jackson mainly. He also saves "Pulp Fiction" from being a self-indulgent mess. But Tarentino lost me with the "Kill Bill" flicks. Maybe it's not so much that Tarentino films are so good; most Sam Jackson films tend to be good ones.

QT has made some good and some bad movies, much the same as any film maker. But he does borrow quite heavily from his influences. I personally would like to see something more original from him. Something of an idea were he has to think outside the box. As I said, he has made some good movies and some bad, but he has yet to make his masterpiece and I have not seen a movie of his that I can deem a masterpiece...

I do enjoy his dialogue sequences.

I thought many people don't like Hollywood "A" movies? So what's wrong with "B" ones?

repetitive

I enjoyed his cameo in Desperado. I enjoyed Pulp Fiction (all of it).

But since then NOTHING.

Maybe Inglorious Basterds won't be as weak.

not as good as Scorcese, but better than me...so somewhere in the middle

He's not as good as James Cameron or Clint Eastwood or the late John Hughes.

well we will have to wait and see what camerons latest effort is like but he is more a big budget sci fi kind of guy so i find their movie hard to compare. But Eastwood is one the greatest directors of all time in my opinion, total legend.

iglorious basards is really terrible sometimes his movies are really good and also really bad this one was very terrible very boring and predictable

he used to make good movies, but now I'm not so sure. Before, I would go to any movie made by him on name alone, but not anymore. got a problem with THAT mod?
