A mixed cocktail fra Quentin Tarantino

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2019)

It's hard not to have big expectations to a Tarantino movie.
And this is not an exception, but when I left the movie theater. I felt a little underwhelming.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie. The acting was great. But I felt is was a little weak on showing the viewer what the story is.
I might not have gotten the point of this movie at all. But this is what i saw.
I felt like I saw a movie with really great acting, Leonardo DiCaprio's interpretation of Rick Dalton was really good and funny. The part where he was on set with Timothy Olyphant and the little girl was brilliant. DiCaprio showed so many sides of his talent and I can only imagine how hard it must be to play an actor who is acting a whole new charater.
This is clearly a story about Rick Dalton and that is a good story. But the other charaters played by Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie felt af bit hollow. Specialy Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate. It's a bit of a waste, Brad Pitts Charater Cliff Booth had so much potential to be a great story. Tarantino taeses us with the past of Cliff Booth, and you sit there getting wheeled in, waiting for more, but it doesn't go any deeper other than small flashbacks.
I understand how important Margot Robbie is when you have a talent like that in a movie, you don't wanna waste it. But She is only important for the ending og Rick Dalton's story.
It seems like there is a lot of waste of time. Like Sharon Tate at the playboy mansion. Steve McQueens line about her husband Polanski and the friends relationship could have been delivered some another way. All the drives from Cliff Booth took up a lot of time. And could have been used on his past.
This driving around and the ending could all be a tribute or a slap to Hollywood, I don't get.
A Tarantino movie is expected to give you the feeling of this being a Tarantino movie from the beging to the end. This do not, it have it in small bits.
But I was missing more great and fantastic dialogs about nothing that Tarantino does better than anyone else. The one we see about the milkshake and burger in Pulp fiction. The opening scene i Inglourious Bastards, the skull talk in Djago, the talk about death and superman in Kill Bill an so on.
It's a good movie and I like it but nothing near his previously work.
