Tarantino needs a nice, long break from movie making

Rating: 3/10 (8 September 2019)

Firstly: not absolutely everything was bad about this movie. Di Caprio and Pitt are really great actors. Also, there were these two minutes in the end when the whole sh***t came finally down on the characters: these two minutes were just hilarious.
Also, Tarantino's idea to make everyone expect to see the Tate-massakar was a nice one.
But other than that it was first of all: incredibly boring. Soooooo booooring. Not nearly as boring as The Hateful 8 - but sooooo incredibly boring anyway. Among other things probably also because Tarantino did obvoiulsy decide to pass on a dramaturgy almost altogether in this movie. So almost every scene was completely random and each could have been easily replaced with another one - it would have made no difference whatsoever.
Then there was Tarantino's completely outdated depiction of men and women: it seems, for him females can be smart and bad-ass - just as long as they are not yet or not any more menstruating. All other female characters are only used by him as sex phantasies without any meaning, inner life, or thoughts.In this movie not one female character had any interesting storyline at all. Regarding female characters it just seemed (again) that Tarantino's mind is hopelessly stuck in the 90th - like he is having the mind of a very old, ancient guy.
Unsually, Tarantino is the admirable king of film music. This time, even the music was not interesting at all and didn't do anything for the movie.
In terms of directing, this entire movie was just a terribly sloppy thing.
After his last two completely dispensable movies I think, Tarantino needs a nice, long break from directing. He is starting to become this sad Woody Allen figure: Allen should have stopped making his completely insignificant movies at least 25 years ago. But everyone has mercy enough to tolerate his obvious need to constantly make annoying and pointless movies anyway: as his little hobby because this is probably better for Allen than vegetating in a nurcing home.Let's hope, Tarantino has more self awareness than Allen.
However lastly, since Tarantino gave us these stunning master pieces Inglorious Basterds and Django - I absolutely forgive him for his last to failiures.
But please, Quentin, wait with your next movie until you have to say another great thing instead of nothing.
