I totally thought about CP during the Bruce Lee part and chuckled.

Just watched it. Thought it was decent, but not great. Everything with Cliff Booth was awesome and compelling. the Rick Dalton stuff was just flat to me.
That last 20 or so minutes was superb though. |

Amazing how people are seeing the last 20 minutes-it's like the fork in the road

1/ the alternate historical ending, which you had to expect given the build-up and the fact that you were at a Tarantino movie 2/ the sheer violence of it all, which actually seemed tame given the gruesome nature of the actual murders (and also something to be expected in a Tarantino movie) I found it remarkably satisfying. It was exactly what I wanted to see at the end of it. Some want more cowbell, and others want more flamethrower. I liked the movie for what it was, and I look forward to seeing it again in two years once it's more hazy in my mind. |

Heh, just figured out that 1970s Spideman played Sam Wanamaker. Nicholas Hammond. Was wondering who that was while watching.

Rambling and pointless. Then again, I am not a huge Tarantino fan. Soundtrack is cool. Everything else is a bore.

This never went anywhere and the ending was pretty bad. Great acting, amazing sets (he nailed the Hollywood look) but many scenes were pointless and painfully slow. It would have been much better if he would have stuck to history and made it a true crime film. The fairy tale flamethrower shit was pretty out there, to say the least. I think the stars did their best with a very weak script and a movie without a true vision of what it was supposed to be. C - |

BTW
Making Bruce Lee a caricature of himself and getting his ass kicked by Pitt was very stupid. One reason I wanted to see this "film" was for the Bruce scenes and they were as ridiculous and far-fetched as the rest of the movie. He made him into a joke. |

Wasn't Brad Pitts character a former solder and he was obviously highly trained and even killed his wife? Size matters in physical confrontations. |

QT had the potential to make an incredible movie based on a turbulent time in American history. Instead, he made a fairy tale and wasted a lot of great acting performances. |
