His "style" is to take elements of existing movies and genres and putting them together to what I'll call generously "homages" to the originals. Tarantino is a remixer, taking samples and putting them together into a new song. Sounds familiar but is somewhat new.
He is very, very good at that and can write interesting dialogue (the first half of Death Proof was nothing but). He also starts to believe his own hype (as seen in Django Unchained, a good but way too mastubatory in nature film) and risks to develop the same relationship to Christoph Waltz (a very good, distinctive and interesting actor) that Tim Burton has with Johnny Depp.
I love pretty much all his movies but he certainly has to watch out that he doesn't trip over his own ego and reputation, both bigger than good for him.

71' Nova was the Death Proof car used 1st by stuntman Mike....

I also put this up behind Pulp Fiction (Kill Bill might be higher, but this is way up there anyhow)... I didn't see Death Proof, and Reservoir Dogs isn't super high on my list (was perhaps in a bad mood the one day I tried to watch it, it is one of those films I want to see again and give a chance to).

Planet Terror was great, Deathproof was 95% girls spewing out ill-fitting Tarantino Dialog and 5% car chase.>> ^chingalera:

Any villain list without Rutger Hauer's Hitcher is incomplete. Also, Death Proof is an awful movie and nobody should be reminded of it.

I really liked Deathproof!

Yes ma'am, Deathproofs' a piece of work, HugeJerk knows nothing!!

Yeah, sorry JiggaJonson - I haven't enjoyed a Tarantino film as much as this since Pulp Fiction. Your major criticism appears to be that there wasn't enough killing in it, which doesn't even warrant a response. "Oh, and they talked all the time! I hate movies that require my conscious thought!" You'd prefer mindless killing, no subplots and constant attention to Brad Pitt? Not the film, nor the director, for you.

I found the plot riveting, fast enough to keep me interested but leisurely enough to explore the characters in some depth. The Jew Hunter's dialogue and performance was simply inspired!

After the disappointment of Death Proof, this is a very welcome return for Tarantino - all plaudits are deserved.

Well, agree to disagree I guess -- I liked the introductory interludes, and thought that the film felt fairly original and certainly held my interest the entire time. The performances were definitely above average (important for a film like this), and a lot of Tarantino's dialogue is more interesting and generates more suspense than many other directors' action scenes.

And videosiftbannedme -- I agree about Death Proof. This is a much better film.

I think if people are coming out of this movie disappointed (which I'm sure they are), the problem is more with the way that Tarantino has been talking about it and the marketing than with the movie itself. Tarantino has spent years talking Inglourious Basterds up as his "guys on a mission" movie -- and it isn't. At all. The stuff with Brad Pitt and the Basterds doesn't amount to much more than a subplot, and what is there doesn't really resemble stuff like the Dirty Dozen that supposedly inspired QT. And of course the ads have been making it out to be an action movie starring Brad Pitt. Which it isn't.

But once you get past what it isn't, and realize what it is, I think it's actually a really good movie. Certainly leaps and bounds above the mediocre Death Proof, and more in line with his quality stuff like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I thought the opening scene with the Jew Hunter and the dairy farmer was pretty much riveting, and right up there with the best of Tarantino. Once you realize that most of the suspense is going to come from the nuances of the many conversations, and not from overt action, the movie is actually pretty darn good. Or so I thought, at least.

Also, the whole last sequence in the theatre was pretty much awesome.

Blimey, the search for Death Proof had my eyes somehow not register anything below the Smith-video ... *discard then.
