Tarantino: Greatest Artist of our Generation

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2015)

It has been a few days since I saw this movie, and I have thought about it a lot.
I was lucky enough to see in on the 70mm roadshow, and it was fantastic. The fact that there was a program, and an intermission to go get more drinks made it quite an event.
As for the movie itself It was exactly like I expected. When I first saw the trailers I thought "Ok this won't be one of Tarantino's best, but it will still be good an entertaining, and worth a watch". That is exactly what it was. If you are a Tarantino fan see this movie because it has everything a Tarantino movie usually has.
That is when this interesting thought dawned on me. When compared to Pulp Fiction, Django, and Kill Bill this will probably drop pretty low on Tarantino's list. However, when compared to the many, many other films released this year it is Light Years ahead of everything.
This is such a unique plot of having almost the whole movie in one room. the last movie That did it so well was 12 Angry men, and a lot of Reservoir Dogs. The Dialogue, acting, directing is way better then the average movie. Yet most people I have talked to said "eh, it's alright."
Tarantino is so far ahead of everyone, so amazing, so perfect in his movie making that our expectations are ridiculously high. We expect him to make one of the best movies every single time because for the most part he has. This is the equivalent of people who are like "Yeah Lady Madonna is alright, but no the Beatles best." That is an awesome song, but when compared to the rest of the work is just average.
So I guess my overall review comes to the fact that this movie is easily one of the best of the year, but Tarantino fans won't see it that way. Tarantino is, in my opinion (do I have to mention that even though it's a review and self implied) the greatest artist of my generation (the millennial's), and us seeing this as an average movie only proves his greatness.
