"""Theres a good film there somewhere but it's an hour overlong"" Again, nail hit on the head. A good mate of mine is a Bafta-winning movie director and his mantra is ""If I cut this will it make any difference to the film""? If the answer is no, out it goes. I could fill a mattress with the cuts I'd make on OUATIH. It's why we make very good films (when we actually make them). The budgets are so restricted it stops any overindulgence. A great example is 'El Mariachi' which was made by Robert Rodriguez, in Spanish, for $7,000 using his mates. It's excellent and grossed $2 million and got him discovered. Then came Desperado, the $7 million English speaking remake which pales in comparison."

"I saw it at the cinema and thought exactly the same. What was the actual point in it all? I did think Brad Pitt was brilliant in it though. And Margot Robbie looked ridiculously good as always. Afterwards I spoke to my mate as I wasn’t really up on all the Charles Manson stuff and it all started to make sense with the alternative ending and so on. I then wanted to watch it again and did recently and thought it was really good. Loads of great scenes and really ‘cool’ as per most Tarantino films. The Bruce Lee scene I thought was brilliant, even the first time around. Although very disrespectful to the great man himself!"

The Lee bit was one of the better bits if the film. Theres a good film there somewhere but it's an hour overlong and so much of it just goes nowhere.

Thought it was just me. Cant find anyone else having a bad word to say about it. Really hoping it's something I've missed. As I said I usually love QT films.

"Mad Dog, Your assessment is spot on. I too was dumbfounded by the reviews. And that Bruce Lee scene is absurd and is probably just a fantasy of Pitt or Tarantino."

I really liked once a upon a time in Hollywood. I just thought it was a great nod to the cinema of that period and for me the characters were interesting enough to keep my attention throughout. Also I loved the Bruce Lee fight scene!

I came close to giving up as it was just so dull. And I've only ever turned off 2 films ever (slipstream and sausage party). But thought I'd stick with it as it must be going somewhere and all the seemingly pointless.scenes must have been more important than first glance. Nope

I had to give up halfway through on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. That is something I don’t normally do. I think “self-indulgent bollocks” is the same thing I wrote on here after watching it. Anyone who likes this film probably also likes La La Land.

Ad I said I usually like his films. The only other exception being kill bill 2. At various points you can almost hear him speaking the lines. Especially the bullshit about superman's identity.

"""self indulgent bollocks"" Reckon you could say that about all of Tarantino's films since Pulp Fiction. I wish that a) he only wrote additional dialogue and left the plot and characters to better writers and b) he let someone else edit his films, cutting out all the unnecessary shit."

"Just watched ""once upon a time in america"". Normally love Tarantino films, even hateful 8 which has a load of detractors... But this was an absolute pile of shite. Had no point whatsoever, 2 hours and 4o mins of completely self indulgent bollocks where somehow despite the length, nothing actually happens apart from last 10 mins when the real life Polanski house murderers end up going to the wrong house and getting killed. Have I missed something? Why is it getting such great reviews? Seriously nothing happens. Actor and his stunt double mill about a bit, the actress sharon Tate dances for a bit and watches her own film, and the murder bit at the end? What the actual fuck????"
