It is depressing to see, looking at the ratings profile of the online voters, how little people seem to appreciate well made films. This movie appropriates every but of grindhouse, martial arts, spaghetti western and comics tropes that Tarantino finds cool. It's cool for cool's sake. He seems to think the audience will sit around and get their jollies off placing which movie every cool moment comes from.
Harmless fun? I don't see how it's either, and that's a pretty good take on his films in general. Those things that he finds cool were interesting because of the CONTEXT in which they happened. The story, the actors, the sets, the direction all came together to create something that was special. You can't just cut and paste it into something that has none of the original elements and think it works. Or that it isn't insulting to the original creators. They worked long and hard to accomplish that and he thinks his cut and paste is homage. It's a huge, freakin' insult.
It's depressing that so many obviously think as he hopes they will. But what's with his, "I've opted out of understanding the laws of physics?" Are people so mindless that they just don't care? Same criticism as above, martial arts films became what they were because of people that worked long and hard at their art. A trampoline and some pulleys works just as well for you? How dead behind the eyes do you have to be to enjoy this? He does that in every movie he makes. A gunshot will send up a wall of liquor bottles, forget that in a convenience store most of all of it would be 80 proof and that doesn't burn with a torch held to it, let alone a single bullet. Is it that people are too stupid to know better? Does he know better?
So, I would submit that if you find it cool to be cool for cool's sake as he is doing here, that you should think seriously about the title of this review. Your cool icons wouldn't ever have existed in a world dominated by people that would enjoy this movie. Do you want more of that in the world, or less? If you breed, there will certainly be less of it.
Another Tarantino black mass for the brain damage and soccer addled.
