It's been so long I don't write a review here, I'm going to write a lot, but rest assured that everything is worth reading. I think that now is the time to warn the people who are thinking about wasting their time with Tarantino movies, so here it goes.

Tarantino is an object of adoration among a ''group of people'', mostly of them female, because of Uma Thurman's character Mia Wallace and Travolta's uncompromising rescue of her comprised of fully consented misdemeanors. So due to this, Tarantino has been bathing in comfortable approval for 25 years. For that reason, he got a pass to keep doing the same movie for a very long time and I'm happy to be able catch a glimpse of its end. I don't think he can keep getting away with it and that is a good thing for us all. No other movies of him are worth mentioning.

Tarantino movies are fetishist movies, he can bewitch his audience to enjoy the things they are supposed to despise. All of them have the same premise of ''straight face tension building'' to end in a release of graphic violence of ideological antagonists. The watcher enjoy some sort of catharsis and It all feels very similar with LVT movies, but worse, because it has no wits to it. At least the later is able to fool me. I think that at minute five or eight, he uses a plot device subterfuge to state that this is still a Tarantino movie and that his admires should keep watching, but it is so in the face that is gross. At that minute I knew, the emperor was naked after all.

Minor SPOILERS ahead, tread carefully: Now that tables have turned, since he went to bite the hand that feeds him in this new movie, we are safe to have a go at him just because the best character, who is played by Brad Pitt, is apparently, an unapologetic misogynist who killed his wife, but learned to navigate the world and stay out of jail just fine. So with that sort of premise, we can easily point the finger at the reasons people are signaling to him that he should stop. Isn't it funny that I happen to agree with them, even if the reasons to do so are not the same?

Well, I'm not going to waste your time like Tarantino did, so I'll go ahead and say the best and worst thing in the movie. The most clever thing in this movie that is worth mentioning and rating is a sort of ''metaplay'' between what Di Caprio's character, Rick Dalton, does in the movies he plays(he is an actor), and what Di Caprio's is actually doing in this movie(acting). He plays a once famous actor who is now coming to terms with not playing leading characters anymore, while at the same time, Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, is a unemployed ex-stuntman to Rick wich is depicted as a supporting role, but is actually leading it. This sort of anti-hero playing juxtaposing their conflicting ideals and still having them as best friends to one another is the chemistry that weaves this movie together. Rick Dalton is fragile, unstable and has many vices while Cliff Booth is reliable, strong and confident. These perks work together to underscore their characters flaws and qualities and I have to admit that this is very clever and why I rated it 4 stars, otherwise I would have rated it 1.

I can't be sure, but at this point, I don't think there is no other review which have acknowledged the fact above, so in a way, they are not being honest with the director and I just wish they would. They are just displeased that he decided to poke at their insecurities, which is also another thing one can use to understand the characters while having fun at the same time, even after the movie is over. These people just can't handle to be criticized.

The worst part about the movie is everything else. Cardboard characters that have no reason to be, have no depth. Even Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate, whose history serves just as a background to an anti-climax that is absolute distasteful. I'm not going to spoiler it not say what it all means, I'm just saying that his tricks are obvious and the only people who can be puzzled by it are the people complaining that ''they don't like him anymore''. I never liked his movies and I think his tricks are finally wearing off, which is a good thing.

I hope you enjoy the movie, because I couldn't. It is slow and boring, but Pitt is wonderful as an unapologetic guy that nudges at his comic representation of Lt. Aldo Raine in Inglorious Basterds, which is also a bad movie.
