Tarantino a has been-too similar to Reservoir Dogs-hate his linear screenplays ( save True Romsnce)

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2015)

Hateful 8 was pretty much like reservoir dogs without the awesome nonlinear story, witty dialogue, great characters, etc. ever since Kill Bill Tarantino has gone to traditional story lines and he hasn't been good enough to do that since writing True Romance. I give a 5.5/10 for Hateful 8. The ending was overly similar to reservoir dogs too. STICK TO NON LINEAR- it makes your average movies above average because the viewer has to actively engage in thinking to put the story together while watching your 3 hour epics. Tarantino has become a has been. He is Orsen Welles, with Dogs and Pulp Fiction-(10) his Citizen Kane or a quasi Coppola pre & post Godfather ( look at Tucker) and other bombs-The Rain People & other early work w/out a good screenplay nor direction. True Romance (9.4), Kill Bill( 8.0), and to a lesser extent Jackie Brown (7.7) his lesser but better movies. He's got 100 million net worth. Retire while your name has some credibility or become the next Lucas or Coppola. This guy was a hero for a long time but the past decade of films have been bombs. He can't write linear & be as well received. He needs the plot device. I wasn't a fan of Bastards either! He has become a, " wait for it on DVD director."
