If you disregard history... then it's historically accurate

Rating: 5/10 (11 December 2013)

Pretty typical QT stuff, lots of action, lots of shooting, bloody scenes, snuff deaths. In fact, i would say it's too QT typical actually.
I enjoyed most of Tarantino's hits so far, i love overreacted action combined with smart-ish dialogues and situations at times, i'm just that kind of a guy. The man's created a niche for himself and he made it almost an industry, you got to give him that - when you see a Tarantino movie, you know it's a Tarantino movie, even without the credits. But i wouldn't go as far as calling him the most brilliant director of our times or even a legend of directing, as his more hardcore fans are always tempted to do (and do it most of the times). He's good, no doubt about it.
However, i'm of the opinion that a great director is one that does not repeat himself over and over again (even if he repeats himself pretty good). It gets boring, knowing what to expect (in general lines of course) before each film and more so, to be right in your expectations every time. QT, although producing what taken separately can definitely be called great movies, didn't evolve. He didn't adapt. He didn't change. He didn't experiment. He didn't improve.
That's why even before watching this movie i had that feeling that i would not be very excited with it anyway and i was right. I didn't like it much because as i said, i've seen it before so many times. And i didn't like it because when i watch a movie involving historical characters and situations, i expect it to be accurate too. I accept that the particularities of that moment in history may be a fruit of fantasy, i accept invented episodes of real history figures, but i expect that at the end of it all, the film as a whole will respect history. Inglorious Basterds obviously doesn't. Hitler and the creme of the third Reich didn't die in a plot in a parisian cinema, nor did the war end with their deaths. That's rubbish, why couldn't QT just invent some "very important members of the German Reich" and make them die in Paris in a burning theater? That would've been forgivable, more than forgivable, it would have been plausible and combined with the overall high entertainment factor of the movie, it would have made a pretty damn good blockbuster.
So, without any further comments, i'll give it a 5/10 and say that if i didn't accept the surplus of fantasy in "Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter", there's no way i can accept in this movie just for the sake of Quentin Tarantino.
