Is Hollywood so Morally Bankrupt that they are Profiteering of the Manson Murders. Sharon Tate was an innocent woman. Shame on QT.
Another great movie by a great movie director.
Boring boring boring said the f word 500 times. Just a bunch of garbage thrown together and called a movie.
Beyond Bad. We walked out and requested a refund. So many misleading 5 star reviews you'd figure the actors could walk on water.
the comraderie
comedy
Worst Tarantino movie ever! No story line and dragged on!
Would give it a 0 if I could, what a BORING movie!!! Waste of time. Hope they don't make such movies again!!! Zzzzzzzzzz
This movie explains the current culture of people being on their I-phones all the time. It came out of the TV addiction culture, prior to that. The film is good for the scenes of nostalgia, but the " good buddy " stuff was annoying. The movie plays you, till the end, where the twist, kind of , in a sick way, dis-appoints.
A completely average movie that is boring for half of the movie, while having the rest be genuinely suspenseful, emotional, and otherwise entertaining with some action. It is overrated simply because of all the A-listers in the movie. The acting is good and the characters feel genuine, but the actual plot itself is little more than two guys spending time together at the (Leonardo DiCaprio's) house doing nothing except drinking some beers, watching tv, giving commentary on Old Western's his character starred in, and swapping stories about being washed up and the good old days along with some driving to show off nice older cars. The other half, I won't talk about in detail because it is good and genuinely brings out the characters better or worse half. Either way, despite this, it just isn't worth paying to see in theaters, but it is worthy of renting where you can fast forward through the bullshit. So, it is a C movie because it drags on too long in many parts of the movie, but the acting is good, the overall story is good, but you will fall asleep if you aren't careful and miss the good bits.
I remember that time quite well.I was 19 at that time and worrying about going to Viet Nam. If only the outcome of the movie could have really happened that way. The old cars were great. Well done on all the rest of the movie. 5 Stars all the way!!!
BRILLIANT movie!!! Thank you QT... it was worth the wait!!
Some spoilers here, be warned. Young impatient movie fans will be bored, but any male over 40 should like this movie (do women like any Tarantino movie?). Anyone who is not ignorant of the history of the Manson murders, will appreciate the humor and especially the ending. Anyone who is a fan of either Leo or Brad will like their performance, even though they're still a bit under utilized. They both have moments where they shine brightly though, so it's a must watch for you ! Whoever plays Steve McQueen, they were great (as is the backlit shot of him)...it was spooky like seeing a ghost...not sure if CG reanimation was done or not, maybe so. The Playboy mansion party was cool to look at. The character of Sharon Tate is thin here, but she’s also nice to look at…so in a way that is in keeping with the real Sharon Tate. Tarantino is obessed with closeup shots of feet in this movie…Robie’s were the only nice ones…while those of the Manson hippy who hitch hikes with Pitt, are hideous…just like her character. Spooky… The humor about spaghetti westerns is nice and not subtle, and Tarantino both pays some homage while also being satirical. But it's Leo's performance in a scene or two (one with a talented young girl actor) as the "heavy" in this western, that is the highlight of the movie...besides the violent ending. I don’t mean to gush too much on Leo, but in this scene, he as an actor does what a certain female actor of the golden age was said to do by the director who liked her most…”when she turned it on, everything else just stopped”. For that moment, Leo really was the bad guy in part of a spaghetti western he and Tarantino should have made, or perhaps will make? So, the “movie within a movie” aspect comes off well in this movie, but there are scenes and transitions that needlessly drag along.
Waited one year for this movie to appear at the theatre. So disappointed ... no plot ... just plain awful ... violence to the extreme ... could not sleep for hours ... Leo and Brad must be getting desperate for rolls to partake in a movie such as this. Not sure whether to attend at the cinema any longer.
B-movie at best. Sets and leo are amazing. Story is Dim. Rest of cast are b-grade actors including Pit.
What a boring movie, until the end. The plot is lost on some great actors.
Another fail from hollyweird's worst director quinteer tarantula. Really a big miss with big aging falling "stars." glad it was paid for by someone else as I would demand my $ back. we actually left got some food and came back and didn't miss a thing but bad acting in a failed plot. see Toy Story instead~
awful! wouldn't recommend if it was free
I trusted the reviews of how great this was and how people who already watched it " can't wait" to see it again. This movie was AWFUL I could not believe how bad it was. It even disrespect Bruce Lee, his own daughter even said so. You know what they say about a fool and his money...they got my money for watching this disgrace.
Don't even know what to say. I'm still apologizing to my husband and best friend for dragging them to see this "great" "4 star" movie@*!! There are no words to describe how bad. You sit there and think this is going somewhere and going to have a plot (of any kind) and will get better soon! But NO! It DOESN'T! Trust me. Save you money and better yet, your time.
When my husband saw how long the movie was, he was surprised! We went, and enjoyed every minute. Quentin Tarantino is a sheer genius! After the movie, my husband remarked at how you didn’t notice the time, it was so good!! The story was well done!
Quentin Tarantino masterpiece!! Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio solidify their star power in this movie. With a perfect supporting cast this movie builds dread and apprehension until it's climax that will have you laughing and cheering at the same time!!
I as bored from the very beginning of this movie. I don't remember any part of it that could be considered a comedy. The movie was a downer and I left the theater feeling depressed!
This movie should win an Oscar for being the worst movie ever made. I cracked up laughing at it!!! I wasn't the only one in the movie that did. I understand that using the F word makes up for poor acting. That true.
If you under 40 that is no point in seeing this movie, if you do not know the history. Being from an older generation and knew what really happened the movie was excellent, only which that was what really happened and not the tragic ending of reality.
The ending is pointless!
I have watched a movie every Tuesday for the past 6 years consistently missing only the odd week and I'd have to say that the ending to this movie was by far the WORST I'VE EVER SEEN!!! WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!!
I was surprised. Did not know where it was going. I liked it!!
It may be that the ending of the movie only resonates for those of us who were alive at the time of the murders. Given QT's movie treatment of horrendous murders: how bad was it going to be? How awful was he going to make it? This was a necessary tension to experience each time the Sharon Tate character appeared on the screen. In the end, I was ready to cheer for how our 'cowboy' heroes took care of the bad guys. "Once upon a time..." with a happy ending ... indeed.
Be sure to stay for the final credits and watch Dicaprio do the tobacco endorsement ... hilarious.
Jordan Peterson said it best, women are interested in relationships, men are interested in things. If YOU are interested in relationships then you GET this movie.
No one had their television turned off ... the very foundation of our current zombified-alwayson-screen culture?
A much needed deconstruction of 'Hollywood' ... imposter-syndrome-afflicted-actors crippled by titanic insecurity but always tapped to play the strong silent types ... until the ends of the career when the only roles left are the emotional-screw-ups.
Rat-flavored dog food ... ya gotta love it.
Wonderful Tarantino! Fabulous ode to the western genre! Many memorable performances and unforgettable moments. Do not worry about the Manson/Tate murders, Tarantino handles it perfectly!
Didn’t really have a theme. Just two guys cursing a lot
I like to think of myself as a huge Tarantino fan but this movie is a complete and total waste of time, money and energy!! If you MUST see it, you would do yourself a big favor to wait until it is available on DVD! But don't buy the DVD, just rent it.......
Watched it 43 times, can't wait to watch it again
I watched this yesterday. I am going to watch it again today and tomorrow
I have to say I am enjoying reading the bad reviews on this movie. I guess they were expecting car crashes and 1 min dialogues. No Plot, that is hilarious, read some history, people! This movie was perfect and the surprise ending was and felt so good. I will see this again tonight and I can't wait.
Ha Ha, Only people that don't understand the history or have no understanding of film making would give this film a single star. Quentin Tarantino is a master at capturing the time period and symbolism. Stellar performances by everyone, you can tell a lot of love went into making this film. and you would expect nothing less from Quentin. Loved any minute of it.
No plot A complete waste of time and money
Great acting that detailed hat it was like in 1969 Hollywood. I liked the story line and plot twist at the end too!
Can’t wait to see it again. Great story telling with all of the fun a Tarantino experience offers. Brad Pitt delivers again and steals the show. Must see.
Disjointed and there didn’t seem to be a plot that made any sense.
The quintessential Quentin Tarantino movie. If you liked ‘Inglorious Basterds’ or ‘The Hateful Eight’, I think you’ll enjoy this. All the ingenious subplots within the main story gave both Pitts and DiCaprio multiple chances to show their stuff and they did not disappoint... stellar acting from both. And then of course, there’s the crazy, totally insane ending. An easy 5 Stars. RAN
OMG. This is art on film.
If you are a film buff, this movie has it all. I loved every minute. A masterpiece. If your under 50 years, do your homework on the time period otherwise you won't know what is going on. A brilliant movie.
Can't wait to see this again, I'm going to see if my daughter will go with me tomorrow. I love it.
Saw it twice,probably see again loved the consant music of the 60s playing the whole movie
