Django Unchained was very disappointing for me, I hate the way Tarantino seems to design a film around a soundtrack, now that might not be the case, but still I would have preferred the film had no musical soundtrack. The two main characters were fine, and most of the dialogue was fine as well, but overall Tarantino's films seem like sad clichés, he promises so much, but delivers so little. I wish he tackled his subjects without the cleverness and with more seriousness.
I am willing to have another look at the film later and make a reappraisal, but I still think Reservoir Dogs was his best film. So that's a 3 turds out of 5 for me.
I feel the same way about him. His movies are mostly "fun", but rarely go much beyond "fun". Kill Bill was hours and then continuation, of just.. "fun", anime, funky music, swords, fun dialogue, it's like when the fair comes to town. The fair is "fun".
I tend to consider Pulp Fiction the only movie he actually got right, but I admit I have yet to really give Reservoir Dogs a fair chance. I only saw it ages ago, and for some reason dubbed to a language I didn't know. Italian I think. Yeah, I know, I should give it another chance.
