On leaving the cinema after seeing this my I overriding emotion was anger after wasting 3 hours of my life and hard earned money on this pretentious drivel.

So many people have raved about this movie and it reminds me of the old story about the emperor's new clothes. They think saying this film is great will make them seem intellectually superior to the ordinary film goer who will rightly see this film as boring as hell.

There is no real story to this film and the whole Sharon Tate/Manson thing, which I was expecting to feature highly was completely tacked on and seemed completely out of place.

Maybe I'm weird but I expect a movie to have a plot and a point. This film is just a 70's movie nostalgia trip and if I wanted that I'd spend 3 hours watching old 70's movies rather than this pretentious crap.

The Tarantino that made classics like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dog's & Jackie Brown is long gone and he's on a journey to disappear up his own pretentious.

The only reason I have given this movie any stars is because the acting especially by Brad Pitt is fantastic and the movie looks good. It's all meaningless without a good plot though.

Avoid!
