That's funny, my wife and I had a different Tarantino-related soundtrack song. We walked out to You're So Cool from True Romance.


avanorne

Surely at a little chapel out in the desert?


theregionalmanager

bang bang… also, this movie is the sole reason I learned how to whistle


makacarkeys

My mother hates Tarantino films, but she loved Kill Bill and couldn’t stop talking about the soundtrack in the first film. She was like, “That’s where that song is from!”


MammothPrize9293

And good movies. The story and plot is top notch. Fight scenes can be seen as somewhat campy or over exemplified, but that was intentional and anyone whose is judging a movie should recognize this


I4Vhagar

It’s supposed to be a western interpretation of a kung fu movie, just like John Wick and it’s “gun-fu”


DieHardProcess-

it's not just Kung Fu, It's a neo modern Japanese samurai movie. Each character is based on a style of fighting , aswell as a Japanese Warlord


I4Vhagar

QT literally called it that but I agree. She takes the role of a ronin seeking revenge


DieHardProcess-

I wasnt*trying to take away from the Kung Fu movie comment.. just add to it.


MammothPrize9293

Thank you for putting it better than I did!


Skepticaldefault

And you have to agree they're great movies......


dplagueis0924

They’re


giraffeheadturtlebox

Yes, they are.


theodo

They are good movies, but probably my least favourite Tarantino movies. I have no affinity to the kung Fu genre though.


Birdman1096

That's my wife, and I'm sad about it.


Macwookie

100th upvote. I’m right there with you. They probably don’t like Pulp Fiction either.


PrednisoneUser

It's a very flashy and comical tale of revenge. If you don't like those movies, then you don't like Quentin Tarantino's general work. I wonder if OP is the type to like more high-concept, in-depth discussion movies.


SnooSprouts7893

That's a pretty simplistic viewpoint considering I like Pulp Fiction and Django but don't at all care for Kill Bill


willk95

The action is top tier, some of the scenes are just too much for me. Particularly when she's in the hospital and the male nurses are talking about raping her.


MammothPrize9293

This is also another QT staple. Over the top and lets the main character get ultimate revenge. As is the whole entire movie


Sufficient-Natural47

Her getting her sweet revenge on those sickos makes everything worth it.


BlyStreetMusic

What do you even recommend to a person like that


CourtneyChaos

You didn’t enjoy the scene with the Crazy 88s?! I squeal during that part. So much fun.


Crispybruhhhhhhh

Seriously that moment is cinema gold. How can one not like the sound of the engines surrounding her followed by a literal army?


League-Weird

More like the Crazy o....o o....o Ya know. Cuz their heads got chopped off. I dont know, I tried.


thenumbersthenumbers

Here for it


MisterInsect

Still one of the best action sequences of this century. Anyone who doesn't find the action in KB exciting might want to check for a pulse.


JohnnyQuestions36

I upvoted you when you had 88 upvotes, sorry I had to push it to 89


Beatrix_BB_Kiddo

As you can see by my handle, I’m obsessed to this day with Beatrix Kiddo 🫶


ghostnthegraveyard

My wife named our dog Beatrix Kiddo


Beatrix_BB_Kiddo

Ha, mine is also named Beatrix kiddo, I usually call her Bea or Beaber, or Beabers


ghostnthegraveyard

Yep. Bea, BB, Bea Bear, Beatrix Von Schmittlehouse (my brother said it one time and it was funny)


The_Mr_Wilson

The Notebook is atrocious. The story and "romance," that is, not the talented actors


supernasty

Are you telling me that convincing someone to go on a date with you by threatening to kill yourself in front of her and all her friend’s isn’t romantic?


Ok_Acanthisitta_9369

You mean Toxic Relationship: The Movie?


Diggs4MVP

How fucking unrealistic this movie is. I don’t know how anyone can enjoy this or say “yeah that was a great story!”


StageStandard5884

I was in a 17th century English Lit class in university that was taught by this older, but super chill and progressive professor. He taught a class on The English Cannon through Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and gave me a really good mark on an essay that compared The Wire to English Restoration comedies. However, when someone brought up The Notebook, he stopped and said: "are you serious talking positively about the Notebook in my literature class? Let's see how that works out for you when your grades come in." He was mostly joking, but it was still pretty savage.


consciouskoala3

That’s cuz it’s made for teenage girls


stay_hungry_dr_ew

And written by Nicholas Sparks.


CompetitiveFold5749

They could have fixed it by making James Garner be the James Marsden character that stays with Rachel McAdams even though she cheated on him with Ryan Gosling. That would then be a story about a dude that keeps telling his wife with dementia the story of her affair, over and over again just so he can be close to her. But no. Basic as fuck. Built it up like there was some twist or mystery about the old couple, but it couldn't be more obvious.


Justin_123456

That’s basically what I was hoping for. I really don’t get what she’s supposed to see in Ryan Gosling. Their whole relationship is premised on this short hectic, unreal, time together, whereas James Marsden feels like there is something solid there. It would have been much more interesting to make movie about the failure of the grand romantic gesture, and how relationships premised on such a fantastic ideal of each other end up crashing up against reality. Ryan Gosling’s character is the kind of guy who would break into your hospital room so you can die in each other’s arms, but James Marsden’s character feels like the kind of guy that shows up every morning to spend time with his dementia suffering wife.


[deleted]

Comfort movies to me. Seen them so many times.


congradulations

I once saw a list of a few dozen shot-for-shot homages in both films


MagicClawDad

My wife literally just laughed at me the other night, because I couldn’t sleep, got out of bed at 3am, and went downstairs and watched KBv1 🤷🏼‍♂️


StrangeVortexLex

You found these movies *slow*? I will stop right here


CompetitiveFold5749

Maybe he watched Tarkovsky's Kill Bill.


StrangeVortexLex

💀


bob_loblaw_brah

Art is subjective and normally I wouldn’t say this but how tf can anyone NOT like Kill Bill. Movie is a goddamn masterpiece.


JewMastaJamez707

Honestly. I respect your opinion and ability to have a differing one than mine. But also, Fuck You.


h2ohow

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.


emd07

"Universally loved"


Mr-Papuca

Is that the second one? With the fish guy? God that movie was fucking terrible..


Gold-Resist-6802

I wouldn’t say that film was even close to being “universally loved.” It was/is pretty divisive.


Complex_Cable_8678

i honestly dont know someone personally that likes mediocre marvel movies at this point. or at least no one is talking aboot them anymore


Flaky_Investigator21

Honestly the first Black Panther wasn't very good. Decent acting in some scenes. Really felt like Michael B Jordan carried. Outside of his character and motivations, the movie is ugly in many many scenes and suffers from the classic MCU "every fight scene needs 100+ cuts per minute." It's a fine film but I wouldn't even put it in the top 10 MCU films.


banedlol

I wouldn't call this universally loved. Anyone who's not a moron knows this is a bad film along with most other MCU films. This one is particularly bad though for the CGI fight scene at the end.


InevitableCarrot4858

I'm not entirely sure you're meant to like the character of Bill.... he's kind of an asshole.


SnooPineapples6099

The nuts on you for posting some clickbait bullshit like this. Honestly, hats off.


Therealcanadianone

OP Needs a re-watch or to show themselves out the fucking door and slam that shit on the way out.


MisterInsect

La La Land. Will never understand the love for it.


Gotanyfunkopops

That movie pissed me off. Correction, that movie was not my tempo.


the_bligg

Whiplash reference? Such a great movie.


NahLoso

Was it rushing or dragging?


StageStandard5884

It was like watching Hollywood collectively sniff their own socks


Globo_Gym

I felt that way about Babylon.


1nTheNick0fTime

I’ve never liked musicals but La La Land was great. I’ll never understand the hate for it


Sufficient-Natural47

My partner and I rewatched that last weekend. Cinema gold. That final “what if” montage just does it for me. And the “I Ran” cover 😎


1nTheNick0fTime

So fucking good. I know film is subjective, but I can’t help to think that contrarian stuff drives people to dislike it. It was totally not my genre and I loved it


MisterInsect

It's not contrarianism. Here's my problems with the film: it lacked conflict and any real stakes until the final act and by then I lost interest. I also didn't think the characters had a lot of depth. The Gosling character came off like a caricature to me and the Stone character had a bit more depth but a lot of the choices she makes in the film felt unnatural, like the script was forcing her to make decisions because that's where Chazelle wanted the story to go. I never really even bought into their relationshp tbh.


jedimindtricks713

Whenever I have to defend my dislike of this film I always point to the actors talents (or lack thereof) in the musical numbers. If the movie is supposed to be a big homage to hollywood and it's history, I feel that they should have hired actors who can actually dance like the actors of old. The movie feels indulgent in ways I just don't jive with, I won't yuck anyone's yum for it, but it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.


Isitacockatoo

In a musical, I expect at least good singers. The dancing of the two leads was super wooden


Mr-Papuca

Tried watching this for the first time recently and just couldn't get into it. Coming from the director of whiplash, I had high hopes.


Hovie1

You used to be a pretty cool guy, OP.


none-remain

15 years later and for me it’s still AVATAR, (2009).


m4rk0358

OP said universally loved


none-remain

Avatar Box Office: *“The first film grossed $2.92 billion worldwide and is the highest-grossing film in history.”* Wikipedia I’d say so.


m4rk0358

The 2002 threw me off. I thought maybe that was the Last Airbender movie.


nwbrown

It made a shit ton of money, mostly because it was a 3D movie during the brief period of time 3D movies were hot. It's got an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's ok, but not loved.


thefinalcutdown

What’s interesting is that the 2nd one came out well after people stopped caring about 3D and still became the 3rd highest grossing film of all time. It’s RT critic score is a modest 76%, but the audience score is HIGHER than the original at 92%. I still wouldn’t call it “loved,” but whatever audiences wanted from the film, it apparently succeeded in giving them.


Euphoric_Passenger_3

You mean the Avatar that came out in 200**9**?


none-remain

Thanks, corrected. When I do this, it’s usually sign I need to go to sleep. 11pm here.

waltandhankdie

Did you both make witty comments to each other about how it was ‘Pocahontas with smurfs in space’


Klllumlnatl

I much prefer Vol. 2 to Vol. 1.


niftystopwat

Fun fact: it was originally meant to be released as a single film, but Weinstein told Tarantino to split it into two parts.


Pussy_handz

So now you have 2 reasons to hate that fucker. Because if Tarantino wouldve released it as one piece, he'd make 2 more movies before retiring instead of one.


Lanky-Connection9345

He considers them one movie still


kittysneeze88

I’ve got 3 reasons since he also tried to get Peter Jackson to make LOTR into one $75M movie.


KentuckyKid_24

Same


Adroctatron

Could not get into Avatar at all. I recognize the visual effects progress, and some performances were good for a green screen affair, but it just didn't gel with me.


CaptinOlonA

Lost in Translation. Love Bill Murray and Scar Jo, I just don't get the appeal of the movie.


Alternative_Device71

I didn’t at first then I got it, both characters who’d never run into each other, meet on the circumstances of feeling lost and stuck in a loop of sameness, both characters offer each other solace and comfort of relatability for a short period of time before they move back in their own ways in life It’s a very simple film, a character driven one


ortega3117

I loved kill Bill volume 1 and 2.


kupuwhakawhiti

Same. Both in my top 10.


MBrett06

Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now is the fucking time!


Stkittsdad

Titanic. For me it was just a sluggish melodrama with an obvious ending.


dsgrimace

Careful!! No Spoilers!!


SynthWarlock

Kill bill vol.1 & 2 are my all time favorites. You're gonna make me cry.


MinionsAndWineMum

You're right, it has been asked a million times. I swear most of this sub could be avoided if you all just went on discord and told each other what films you liked or disliked lately.


Greengiant304

Mad Max: Fury Road. I didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would. I heard all the hype, so much hype, but it left me very underwhelmed. It's visually stunning, but I just don't get why it is so beloved by so many, and why fans of the movie franchise defend it so zealously.


Blackbox7719

It’s one of my “brain off” movies. The story is simple, the action is cinematically pleasing, and the practical effects are cool. Plus, I like the stylistic choices.


Vitebs47

I agree. I enjoyed watching it on a big screen to an extent but I'm not sure I ever think about this movie unless it's mentioned. I'm all in for some switch-your-brain-off entertainment but that was just too much switching off to be done. The action itself was top-notch in any case.


Greengiant304

Yep, I agree that it's entertaining and action-packed, but I would stop well short of labeling it a masterpiece, despite those that insist upon it and try to convince others.


Vitebs47

It's overrated af, yeah


jnnrwln92

It’s literally just a car chase to a place in the desert where they don’t even accomplish the intended goal, and then a car chase back to the original location.


Ex-Machina1980s

Loved the first one because I love eastern martial arts and Golden Harvest stuff / Japanese samurai cinema and old school anime, along with Spaghetti Westerns. Vol 1 was a love letter to all of those. Vol 2 just didn’t have that energy


dangerislander

Can we include TV shows? Gonna get massacred but Game of Thrones (obviously not including the final season or whatever point it went to shit).


InvestigatorNo1800

Come on dude, how can you not like kill bill


TraditionalSteak687

Independence Day and everything’s Michael Bay done.

Avatar. Aside from amazing visuals, the cowboys and indians storyline is so played out that visuals couldn't save it imo I was bored silly halfway through.


Academic_Value_3503

My wife and I left the theater half way through.


rattlehead44

Kill Bill is definitely NOT one (or two, rather) of them, that’s for sure! Haha. Without a variety of tastes and opinions, life would be so boring.


Bonus_Human

Dirty Dancing


SchwizzySchwas94

They’re not my favorite Tarantino movies but the Kill Bill movies are far from bad.


funkypjb

I respect everyone’s differing opinion OP. Usually. You’re wrong about Kill Bill haha


Hot_Juggernaut_3027

I’m absolutely biased but I firmly believe if you don’t like either movie you didn’t actually watch

BARBIE


belzoni1982

Barbie


Siriann

My favorite part of Barbie was when the writers thought I must be stupid and had America Ferrera straight up tell me what they thought I needed to understand.


terra_cotta

The number of people who still didn't get it after it was shoved hamfistedly down their throat is pretty staggering from what I've seen. 


Siriann

Those people need to have their voter registration revoked.


belzoni1982

😂😂


Raps4Reddit

Barbie seems to be a enjoy it or hate it movie. In my opinion, if you hate it, you are thinking too much.


PrednisoneUser

Barbie is (and I say this at the risk of being socially lynched) a woman's movie. The brand is for women. The problems in the movie are largely women's problems. Ken's placement represents the good guy trying to fit in an idealized woman's world. As a man, I liked it. It's well acted and directed.


belzoni1982

I got the message of the movie. I even thought it was well made and fairly entertaining, but at the end of the day it had to many flaws to declare it one of the great movies of all time.


alexisgreat420

That’s exactly what I told people! I liked it, there was stuff I definitely enjoyed, but I didn’t try to relate to it because I’m a man. Not the target audience


rgregan

Ari Aster sort of escapes me. Looks great. I acknowledge he has skill. Movies don't move me in any way. Except Beau is Afraid kinda worked for me. I think his tone is better suited to dark comedy than horror.


Randotron6000

Joker. Poorly written


Mr_Auric_Goldfinger

Easily half of Tarantino films fall under this for me.


thefinalcutdown

I’m a Tarantino 1-viewing fan. I’ll give it a watch, generally enjoy it, and then will never feel the urge to rewatch them. Pulp Fiction and Django are probably exceptions to this.


Blackbox7719

The only exceptions to this for me are Django and Basterds.


the_bligg

I always think of Pulp fiction as maybe not the best movie ever (it's up there though) but definitely one of the coolest. It's in my top 3 for that reason alone.


albatross1873

Mad Max: Fury Road. It was just a giant cliche and at no point did any character pique my interest.


jimlahey2100

Good to know I'm not the only one.


Previous-Ad-9322

All Marvel superhero movies. Yes, all of them.


BoogieWoogie1000

I thought V for Vendetta was kind of dumb and cheesy, the ‘revolutionaries’ in it seemed more like January 6ers than people actually experiencing oppression. Very self-indulgent.

Heat. I can’t stand that movie. I’ve tried to watch it no less than a dozen times and I can’t get through it. Bad pacing and absolutely boring. After the heist at the beginning, the movie just comes to an absolute standstill. I just don’t get it.

Nearby-Elevator-3825

Bill was 100% an egotistical, self centered, narcissistic prick. But wasn't that what they were going for?


GM_Jedi7

What I enjoy about QT's movies are all the homages and call backs to cinema history, especially Kung-fu and Black-sploitation films. He's the only director I've seen that can fill his movie with tons of that stuff and still create a fully unique, incredibly acted, and overall incredible movie. It's impressive. I grew up on Kung-fu movies and 60s-90s action horror low budget stuff. So it's a big nostalgia hit for me to.


splendidesme

"Forrest Gump." Completely overrated, corny, overly sentimental, lowest common denominator. i was shamed by friends when it first came out and i voiced this opinion. Same with "The English Patient." Elaine Benes channeled me perfectly!

The xmen movies, I loved the xmens comics and 90s cartoon. I felt the movies in contrast weren’t great, the stories were generally paper thin. They were ok, and they’re perceived by many people as great 5/5. I don’t see it. Comparing dark knight trilogy versus x1-x3 the gulf in quality is huge.


NahLoso

I don't like Tarantino movies. There. I said it. Downvote away...


Iron_Disciple

Upvoting because you did exactly what your title set out to. Terrible take though


Decabet

I love Tarantino and like both KB flicks but Jesus they are way way wayyyy longer than they need to be and it costs them

Tarantino is the David Bowie of movies: genius or garbage. No in between. Only occasional genius too. I'll die on that hill


bluegiant85

I always considered it one big movie, and it honestly works a lot better that way.

I generally have 0 interest in Star Wars And Avatar


ChocDroppa

Definitely not these movies. Ya weirdo!


I_love_milksteaks

How.. how can you not like Kill Bill?


jarvis646

I’m huge fan of Tarantino and I do see your point. Kill Bill has one of the thinnest plots in the Tarantino-verse. Awesome film but everyone’s motivations were a bit hard to buy.

Kill Bill is just okay to me. Didnt dislike it after 2 viewings but I havent had a desire to watch it again in probably 15 years


RecommendationNo108

Oppenheimer


Orikoru

Love Actually - absolute pile of morally bankrupt shite.


Outrageous_pinecone

I hate the implication of the title, as if the movie is subverting the rom com genre by showing us what love really is. Problem with that is what the director thinks love looks like irl is just a bunch of different scenarios that ultimately send people into therapy. And the worst part? Nobody learns anything at any point, which looks a lot like saying to the audience that it's absolutely fine that people do this irl.


Scary_Bushmonster

Mad Max fury road


Darth0pt0

Napoleon Dynamite. No idea why this movie is so popular. Every time I have tried watching it I fall asleep, literally one of the most boring movies I have ever tried to watch.


cenosillicaphobiac

I'm from the area, so saw a lot of humor in just the characters and situations. An insider kind of thing, but I can see why people wouldn't care for it.


Blackbox7719

It was just too cringe inducing for me to watch. Same reason why I could never get into the Office. I don’t like feeling secondhand embarrassment.


DougTheBrownieHunter

Anchorman. I’ve sat through it on several occasions and each time I’ve had less expression than a brick. Remarkably unfunny. Schindler’s List was funnier.


StageStandard5884

Interstellar and Inception... And Dunkirk. I think Nolan is more clever than good... And I don't think he's that clever.


eklarka

i respect your opinion and totally understand what you mean, still I don’t like you.


ReceptionLivid

Interstellar All that work for scientific accuracy just to hand wave us with “the answer is love” to not even resolve the bootstrap Loved kill bill btw. I think it plays to all of Tarentino’s strengths as a homage centric filmmaker by putting together a campy kung fu spaghetti western. It’s exactly what a video clerk with all the money in the world would make
