However, there isn't much in the movie that I found interesting. Dalton's character was more of a pouty baby than someone who goes through a genuine evolution that would've felt more rewarding in the end. But there isn't denying the style, ganache and exuberance Tarantino gives this world and time. The movie ends poetically, but a lot of times expects its greatness instead of earning it.… Expand

Большую часть времени, ну 90% примерно, составляют тупые, монотонные диалоги. Диалоги которые ничего не объясняют и не к чему не ведут. Вот к примеру, герой Дикаприо садится на стул рядом с девочкой и ни с того ни с сего начинает лить слёзы, о том какой он несчастный и ни кому не нужный, и так на протяжении 15 минут. К чему всё это? Не понятно. Смена кадра и всё, никто не вспомнит про этот эпизод вообще никогда. И вот так или почти так практически весь фильм.
Повествование часто прерывается на полуслове и больше никогда к нему не возвращается.
Это же касается и эпизода с персонажем Питта. Он вдруг ни с того ни с сего то ли реально оказывается, то ли просто вспоминает, я лично не понял, себя на съёмочной площадке с Брюсом Ли, а потом ни с того ни с сего начинает с ним реально драться и умудряется навалять ему люлей! При том сам Ли показан каким то самодовольным хамом. (Хотя люди, лично знавшие Брюса, всегда писали про него как про человека достаточно скромного). Зачем всё это? Тайна.
Даже поездки, просто поездки на машине без диалогов, в фильме настолько нудные и долгие, что создаётся стойкое впечатление искусственного растягивания хронометража. Как в какой нибудь GTA.
Экшен сцены двигающие сюжет в фильме тоже есть, но их совокупная длина составляет минут 15 из 2 часов 40 минут протяжённости всего кино. И эти сцены показывают нам дружбу двух совершенно разных людей, чьи судьбы прописаны очень поверхностно.
Так же в сюжет напихано много разных реальных и придуманных персонажей. Но зачем их сюда напихали, одному Тарантино известно. Эти персонажи не несут вообще никакого смысла. Такое ощущение, что снимали сереал часов на 15, а затем передумали и обрезали его до одной серии и выпустили в прокат.
Как не странно, но это произведение не имеет вменяемого начала, в нём намертво отсутствует завяка и кульминация. Ёлы палы, у него даже нормального конца нет?
Короче, фильм ОЧЕНЬ, ОЧЕНЬ на любителя. Я таким любителем не оказался.… Expand

The story, the acting, the atmosphere, the narration, everything is just right here! Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio and the sadly recently deceased Luke Perry deliver a top performance here.

It takes a deep journey into the lives of two men looking for their place of fame in Hollywood; all masterfully complimented with outstanding filming, talented acting, and a mind-blowing production set that deserves in full the awards it has received due to its time period accuracy. Being set in the late 1960s, there is no 21st century vibe throughout the whole film which fully impresses me. A lot goes on during the film and requires full attention and concentration. Multiple viewings is also advised. Quentin Tarantino applies a genius twist to a true story, thus resulting in this thrilling masterpiece.… Expand

Nothing occurs until the last 15 minutes and even that is just a shock stop to provide no emotional weight or payoff just a frustrating look into how this incredible cast got wasted in a boring script. It's a slog and every critic is brainwashed into thinking that everything this man does must be incredible or thrilling. No it's not. This is an example of boring film making where the director's ego overplays the substance of the film, entertainment and exaggeration given for the simple look of slick and cool. It doesn't pay off and Brad Pitt's character and Leo's passion is wasted in Sharon Tate spin off story. This is disgusting and it was a complete waste of energy. It's a shame to see professional critics give into the weight of Tarantino and not see that this film is pathetic.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a film about the Hollywood of the the late 1960s, centering on actors, teenage girls/fans, nostalgia of wild west/cowboy films of that time.

The first hour was a little bland but it improves after that. I liked the scenes with Cliff Booth at the old ranch film set, where numerous young girls keep an eye on the new comer from a distance. I thought Cliff seemed generally more 'cool' (more of a star) than Rick Dalton did - what you can read into that is up to you.

I wouldn't say its greatly funny most of the time but it is amusing at times, in a darkly comic way (so typical Tarantino fare). Also it's an understated film for the most part, I'd say. There's some witty dialogue and the cinematography is decent enough. I liked the music played too. There's a fairly strong emphasis/focus on bright colours, in the bright lights of cinemas (including listings advertised), hotels, restaurants etc. - the famous 'bright lights of Hollywood'. Its stylish but maybe not as frantic as you may expect. There is, of course, some quite bloody violence, as is expected for a Tarantino film but there's not as much as you may assume - all in the 2nd half, quite close to the end of the film.

Yes I'd recommend this film but primarily for fans of Tarantino's work. If your expecting a constant action type film then this may well seem too long winded and not offer all your expecting but if your intrigued by the plot and you like the cast, then yes, I'd say it's worth seeing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great film I slept on for far too long. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is a brilliant window into the dying days of Hollywood's golden age, pontificated by a washed up actor desperately chasing his fading glory, his stunt double, excommunicated by scandal over his involvement in his wife's death.

The film feels at times like it could be real, based on a real story and real people, before taking turns towards the absurd, the fairy tale suggested in the films title. It's central narrative is less a concrete story and more a struggle. Dalton's feeble struggle to remain a star. His inane hope that he might just happen to cross his neighbour, Roman Polanski, his insistence on remaining in Hollywood, in a house he can only just afford because it means he remains in Hollywood just a little longer.

The films portrayals of real individuals has been criticised, but one thing to remember is the nature of the film. It's an exaggeration. Purely embracing the absurdity of Hollywood. Bruce Lee, the Manson family, they're all taken to a point of absurdity here in keeping with the nature of the film.

The film ends with the foiling of the Tate murder, in very a Tarantino-esque fairy tale ending. With this, Dalton's career, which had been on the cusp of ending, seems to be saved when he is invited by Tate to join them at Polanski's house for a drink, achieving the goal he had sought throughout the film, leaving the film to close with a spark for Dalton's dying career. And that's that, a Hollywood fairy tale, with all the drama, dilemma, drug use, inflated egos, and action you'd expect. It's not Tarantino's greatest film, but it is a great, character driven journey into a fading era of Hollywood's past.… Expand

It seems to be a Dicaprio-Pitt show and even when the movies tries to be funny doesn't succeed in its intent (for example the Bruce Lee scene that feels almost disrespectful) and then seems like Tarantino is trying to put everything into the last 20 minutes of the movie which turns out to be confusing and messy.

The already simple plot gets lost among so many meandering scenes that seem to be there just to look pretty.

Most storylines in the movie go nowhere, and the weird tonal shift in the end reminded me of Unglorious Bastards, another weak link in Tarantino's filmography.

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood – Even The Name is ‘Borrowed’

QT’s latest indulgence is all about his one-way fixation with the ‘60s. At 160+ mins it’s a long trudge but the script probably only had few pages if compared with other movies ofOnce Upon a Time In Hollywood – Even The Name is ‘Borrowed’

QT’s latest indulgence is all about his one-way fixation with the ‘60s. At 160+ mins it’s a long trudge but the script probably only had few pages if compared with other movies of this length, why?... So many scenes are made up of shots of bods getting into cars, then long internal shot from back seat (lifted from the far better Gun Crazy’ 50s) then bods get out of car, long shots of feet walking, more bods get into cars, more long internal driving shot, bods again get out of car, more feet walking. This format is repeated from beginning to end –pages of same-- The 60s heralded in a new low for movie making – features like; ‘Beach Blanket Bingo’, ‘How to Stuff a Wild Bikini ’, ‘Sergeant Deadhead’ were playing as main features across the land, el-cheapo’s had become the new norm. What would usually have been a ‘B’ picture were now being sold as an ‘A’. Yes. it may have helped a jaded Hollywood at that time but what about other mainstream audiences?

So, what might have influenced TQs fixation with this downturn in the social morays of movies? Tarantino grew up in the swinging ‘60s/mod‘70s working in a porn cinema (this perhaps explains his addiction to perversity) including a video store - while also watching the endless re-runs of TV shows, along with an overflowing barrage of low budget, Spaghetti westerns that had flooded the market - thank goodness some audiences grew up (well, some did) and demanded better. These endless ‘homage’s to days offering little more than cheap TV-style quickies --now being released to the big screen --- with product that was generally catering for a guideless, acid tripping youth (such as the Manson crew, etc) wanting endless simple-minded partying. Hollywood producers loved it – now, for half the normal budgets, they were getting the same financial returns as quality features. QT has simply revived those days and a new ‘comic book hero’ generation have picked it up. Only this time around, the budgets are BIGGER while the contents remain juvenile, if not ridiculous. Trouble is, too many of today’s producers and art critics also grew up in this overly comfortable, ‘anything goes’ era, so they wrap on about the glorious emptiness that’s making them all rich. Some rave about the cinematography and design - with that much money being thrown about it's simple to ‘copy’ the work of previous Masters. But, no matter how expensively dressed-up and stylishly packaged rubbish maybe, it’s still rubbish (but, GOOD-LOOKING rubbish). Too much you might be saying? Take a look back, revisit many of those poorly scripted, badly acted, TV shows and movies of the 50s-60s – the ones Q.T. tends to dote over...you may be surprised how your memory may have failed you as just how poor most were. Once U.A.T.I.H. looks like several proposed projects that never got off the ground all edited into one, and doesn’t do justice to any of them. One or two characters and situations looked as if they may have been leading to something but simply fizzled out. How long might it take before more look back and ask, how were we so fooled? Or is it just that LESS has now become the new MORE?

So, if this is Q.Ts 9th may there be only one left to go. Please (if we must that is)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OUATIH isn't like any of Tarantino's other films at all. For one, the movie is more focused on setting than plot. However, OUATIH proves that a movie doesn't necessarily need to focus on plot in order to be good. It paints a vivid picture into life in Hollywood at the end of its Golden Age. Tarantino does well to capture the feel and atmosphere of the era, as well as to incorporate the various historical references into the movie.

OUATIH isn't completely devoid of a storyline, though. At the center of the movie is the career of actor Rick Dalton, who's in the midst of a fight to remain relevant. Leonardo DiCaprio shines as Dalton, as does Brad Pitt as Dalton's friend and stunt double Cliff Booth.

The best part of OUATIH is its ending, which contains the thrilling violence which Tarantino's films are known for. It also rewrites history (similar to Inglorious Bastards) in order to create a happier ending for some of the film's characters (though you'll need to be familiar with the Tate murders to understand the significance of the ending). While it isn't Tarantino's best movie, OUATIH is a compelling film and surely a must-watch.… Expand

The screenplay left me baffled, and while it shines often for the way it is directed, the story itself has only a few highs and for the rest falls very flat to my eyes. Not my cup of tea, maybe somebody will love it, but the way it is directed, combined with its uneventfulness and uneven theme, bogged the viewing a lot. Acting is mostly spot on, but quirky at times, and not in a way that adds something. It’s a well directed movie, that suffers from a very flat atmosphere with a few flares and quirks here and there, which however don’t blend in well… Expand

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a excellent film mainly due to its charm to the then Hollywood. The story is great and so is the soundtrack. I don't know much about how to comment on this. Just a nice spectacle. I recommend.

In my point of view, this movie needs to be watched at least because it mirrors the particular period of American history. It guides the audiences through the atmosphere of 1969. This movie raises acute questions that worry and cause a stir the minds of people nowadays too. Great acting and wonderful script unconditionally attract attention to this picture.

'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood' is a kind of a fairy tale about Sharon Tate's life, which have never come true in reality.

Secondly, I didn’t like the film. I found parts of it boring, Tarrantino seemed more interested in displaying this "Love letter to Hollywood" than creating interesting characters or a compelling story. The story has very little get up and go, which is weird for a Tarrantino movie. The ending felt abrupt and shoved in. One of fav Tarrantino movies was the Hateful Eight, simply because time was taken to introduce the characters and make them interesting and depth. In this movie the characters feel frankly shallow. The acting, unsurprisingly, was great and full of life. What let them down was the characters themselves. I didn’t care about any of them. This film felt like a bit of a weird hark back to a bi-gone era of boring and empty films. Sorry Tarrintino. Not a fan of this one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first Quentin Tarantino film I have ever seen, and I have heard nothing but good things about this legendary film maker and his movies. Hence, when I saw the trailer for this film, I was immediately intrigued with the concept of the film. There is so much you can do with a movie based in the film industry as the 1960’s come to a close, so I naturally decided that this would be my first Quentin Tarantino film that I would watch, and I was extremely disappointed.
Firstly, I would like to make note of what I enjoyed about this film. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie all provided fantastic acting in this film. Their performances were so genuine and I really enjoyed what they brought to each of their own characters. Secondly, some of the cinematography is really nice. It was really clever how Quinten incorporated the old style of filmmaking into a modern narrative, and I think he excelled in doing this in the film. However, this is where my positivity for this film ends. This movie is just boring from start to finish. There is just something so uninteresting about a movie that is mainly based around watching characters go through each of their days for 2 and a half hours. Personally, great character writing and razor-sharp dialogue isn’t enough to carry a movie.
There are so many themes within the film that just flew over my head because there were so poorly conveyed by Quentin. I shouldn’t have to go researching about a film after I have seen it just so I can begin to see some form of value in it, but I did, and if anything, it just made me dislike the film even more. For example, upon my initial viewing, the character “Sharon Tate” seemed such a pointless and uninteresting character within this films context. She adds so little to the plot that her character could be remove and the narrative would still be exactly the same. However, upon researching about the film’s context, I learnt that the film was playing with the idea of showing the audience how in this universe, Sharon Tate was left unaffected by the events of the Tate-Labianca murders, and how she just lived a normal life. Once I read that, I thought that would have been such a brilliant concept if it was conveyed better to the audience, but it wasn’t. Instead, we are presented with an uninteresting, shallow character that has little to no significance. This goes for most of the underlying concepts explored within the movie, such as Quentin Tarantino providing a Hollywood ending of the Tate-Labianca murders as a representation of how Hollywood fictionalises real events. These themes are handles so poorly, and I just felt frustrated that the film only held value to me after I researched about its themes. It is an example of poor cinema and storytelling.
If you liked this movie, great, I have nothing but respect for you because I can very well understand why someone would enjoy a movie like this. But for me personally, it just felt like a waste of time to sit through and watch. From what I can tell, if you are a big fan of Quentin Tarantino movies, you’ll probably like this one, but other than that, I would not recommend this movie.… Expand

Cela dit, je suis d'accord avec lui sur au moins une chose : les hippies ! il faut leur décalquer la gueule à ces camés, il faut les cramer ces tarés, il faut tous les buter ! crève-les, fais-en du hachis parmentier ! j'irai donc jusqu'à 1. Finalement.… Expand

Real Ratings: 77.5/100
Critics love Tarantino because he loves cinema and they can associate with that, and they get all of his references, which can be lost on your average viewer. It is the same reason movies set in LA often get a few nomsReal Ratings: 77.5/100
Critics love Tarantino because he loves cinema and they can associate with that, and they get all of his references, which can be lost on your average viewer. It is the same reason movies set in LA often get a few noms or wins during Oscar season that many would call questionable. This is not to detract from Tarantino's talent. The man is a great writer, though as of late he has become a blowhard. Scripts are long and drawn out, and then they all crash into an ending that seems tacked on rather than built to which begs the question does he even know where he is going with his films anymore. It is not visionary, it is repetitive and showing very little sign of growth. He is a craftsman who carves an excellent movie each time, but they are more or less the same.

DE: Tarantino runs a decent ship, and Hollywood is no different. Everything seems to be on point. Every department is hitting its marks, and we are building a tale in his distinct (if that is the right word) style. In terms of editing, the loss of Sally Menke can be felt in every one of his films since she passed. She somehow was able to contain him and give a better structure. Though from seeing her works outside of the Tarantino verse, you can see he had an equal part in elevating her. Together they were able to take his longwinded approach and make it come off with a steady pace and allow decent investment from the audience, but now however that is slipping away at a fast pace with each subsequent film.

W: Tarantino is one of the great writers, he is not on Miyazaki's or Anderson's level, but he is undoubtedly on the same level as the Coen brothers or Bong Joon-ho. Which is not a level to sniff at, but the problem with Tarantino's writing is that he may have switched genres, but he has not adapted to it. More that he has made another Tarantino movie with a new shell on it. Which is great, but if I wanted to see the same thing as before I might as well watch the classics. It is sort of like a band doing a new tour 20 years later trying to flog the new stuff that sounds far too similar to the old stuff, and the fans would much rather prefer to hear the hits.

C: Have you seen a Tarantino, Scorsese or Oliver Stone movie? Then guess what you have seen Robert Richardson's work and along with it some iconic shots that have littered avatars and uni students bedrooms for decades. His outing this time is impressive, though it might not match a level that he created. That said the lens seems to tell more of a story here than Tarantino's writing, which tells you everything you need to know.

A: Acting is stereotypically cartoonish, but that has become a standard for Tarantino. Though Pitt's depiction of the more sane character throughout this 2D world of actors stands out. Sadly given the cast, we are working with, and the sheer level of talent coupled with the extent in which we examine these characters lives it feels underwhelming, and each one is more an allegory than a persona in their own right.

S: As strange as it seems the sound department is usually one of the reasons I watch a Tarantino film. Since Inglourious Basterds someone in the sound department is getting an Oscar nom, whether it is music, mixing or editing. Without fail Hollywood continues this trend. Just excellent.

PD: This film is not pretending to be the 1960s, it is the 1960s. I know you have seen many a period piece, and they all do a decent job, but it is the subtle nuances and the dirt that make the difference. This is not a glossy veneer trying to rewrite a section of history, this is just trying to capture an era for better or worse. This may be down to the fact that Tarantino is obsessed with the period and only a slight glance at his oeuvre would back this notion up.

BA: The costume design, while simple is also great, it catches the style of the era without feeling like it is overexaggerating the form or the zeitgeist of the time. The visual effects in the latter portion of the film while jarring are quite well done and stand out.

EVO: It is not one of Tarantino's "funner" films, which is odd given that it is a bright nostalgia backed film told from the perspective of mostly positive souls. If you are a Tarantino completest, you are going to want to see it, but for many, the question of why did I sit through that for 3 hours will ring true on the lips, and while the film is crafted brilliantly I cannot help but finding myself siding with them.… Expand

'Once upon a time in hollywood' is a snooze fest wrapped as a love story to glory days. The payoff in the last 20 mins was anti-climatic. None of the characters were memorable, rather washouts and full of self doubt. The biggest proof that this was a weak installment is the fact that not a single meme has entered popular culture from this film, unlike Tarantino's other works. Similar to 'The Last Jedi', the critics are falling over themselves to praise his snooze fest, out of FOMO than anything else. If Tarantino intends to end at film 10, he better knock it out of the park, otherwise unlike Michael Jordan, he will leave too late.… Expand

When I knew the time when the film was going to happen and the historical context that would revolve around the film, I was very curious on how he would approach such a case. To be honest, the film is quite slow and I was not able to get so attached to the characters -- Except the dog Brandy. What interested me most was the end of the film. He surprised me positively for knowing how to use violence in a very intelligent way that made me vibrate and feel pleasant at the same time. It is strange for an extremely violent scene to make the viewer feel so good about it. Who doesn't know actress Sharon Tate and her story, do some research before seeing the movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look. I didn’t hate this movie. It’s very well shot, well acted, and Tarantino’s style remains among my favourites of all time. It’s just that the characters are bland, nothing really happened in the whole 2.5 hour runtime, and it feels bloated to pad out the runtime.

This was the only movie where, in my small town theatre, I’ve ever seen people walk out before the end of the second act. Cool and intriguing story threads are left dangling there and never addressed again. The stunt double’s reputation for having murdered his wife and gotten away with it a la OJ Simpson? One brief scene sets it up and never discussed again. The Charles Manson murders are a driving influence, I guess, but Tarantino decides to characteristically play with history and allow Sharon Tate to live. (Also, Sharon Tate was played wonderfully by Margot Robbie, but every single one of her scenes was an unnecessary dip into Tarantino’s foot fetish.)

The last act leading up to the fight scene (one of the best scenes of the movie,) is awkwardly rushed and wraps everything up in a nice bow with absolutely no satisfaction for the audience.

In conclusion, I liked this film on a technical level, but creatively? There’s a lot to be desired here. Maybe consider this one when it’s in the $5 bin and you want to pad out your DVD collection.… Expand

The misleading trailer is the main reason I was disappointed with this movie. It presents it as an action movie and for the most part it is not.

Just two of our great movies stars proving their charm and chops at every turn, plus Tarantino at the height of his powers even without much of a plot. Could hang out with these guys (who are total **** btw) in this beaitoful 1969 LA all day

Once upon a time there was a director who said he would only make 10 movies and in the case of Tarantino he should probably have stopped at #8.

The problem, of course, is that #9, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," is not actually a movie. I'm not sure what it is. It has characters. It has dialog. It has things that hint at suspense and the possibility of some kind of action happening at some future date. But it doesn't seem to have much of a story. Anecdotes, yes; story, not so much. And frankly it isn't really what I would describe as "entertaining."

It's more like what I would describe as a shaggy dog story, which Dictionary.com defines as "a funny story, traditionally about a talking dog, that, after an often long and involved narration of unimportant incidents, has an absurd or irrelevant punch line."

The key phrase is "long and involved narration of unimportant incidents."

You could skip most of the film and just catch the last 20 or 30 minutes and you'd get as much out of this as I did. Or just imagine walking into a Manhattan art gallery. On one wall is an image resembling Andy Warhol's stack of Campbell's Soup cans. Only instead of soup cans it's cans of Green Giant peas. You stand there staring at those cans of peas for 161 minutes. Do you get anything out of it? Well, I guess that's for you to say.

Personally, if Tarantino ever comes out with #10 I think I'll re-watch I Claudius, or Key Largo, or Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, or even Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. Those were movies (even the mini-series among them), rather than shaggy dog stories or practical jokes.… Expand

Was this the greatest movie ever made? No but it was a fun and interesting movie to watch. The lead actors were so good you could put them in any average movie and make it entertaining to watch. Leo and Brad are good on screen together.

One of the worst cinema experiences I've had, could a movie possibly be more overhyped because of director and actors? I think not, what a mess.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a Nostalgia movie. Some would say you would have had to have lived in the 60s to really “get it,” but Quentin Tarantino has done a fantastic job of capturing the period for the ones who didn’t. From the bus stop ads to the music, sentimental shots of Cliff driving down Forest Lawn Drive, QT has captured the flavor of Los Angeles in its time. Unfortunately, apart from the scenic portrait and the odd joke here and there, this screenplay was bland and slightly boring throughout. Whatever happened to the enigmatic dialogue that Quentin used to write? You’ll have to hit pause an hour in just to stop and ask yourself, “Is anything going to happen?” And something does happen, it’s just a slow drive getting there.

You should already know this, but if you are looking to see a film adaptation of ‘Helter Skelter’ and the events of Spahn Ranch and the Manson Family, then this movie is not for you. The Tate-LaBianca murders play a very small plot point of this movie, which makes for a bit of a disappointment since that is the climax and the apparent thing that the entire movie is building up to. That’s just it though; there is no buildup, or even a storyline for that matter. I’ve heard things like, “It’s not supposed to be a story movie,” or even, “it’s a character analysis.” Well, I don’t know about you, but last time I heard, movies were supposed to have a story. That was the central problem with Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood. I think it was made pretty clear before I watched it that it wasn’t going to be about Manson, but I’m still let down by this movie anyways. Why wouldn’t Tarantino have just made ‘Helter Skelter,’ based on Bugliosi’s accounts, and get to make a movie with an actual story/plot. He had all the materials, actors, and creative direction, but none of the output. I like that QT explores genres in each film, but in this case, I think he should have stuck to doing what he does well, which is chilling horror.

For a 3-hour movie, it could be said that this movie was actually too short. Quentin Tarantino does an excellent job of showing things happening on screen without anything actually happening. A lot of the events of the film were pointless and brought no real meaning to the story if there ever was one. For example, there is a lot of dialogue about this supposed “acid-dipped cigarette” that Cliff will eventually smoke, but it isn’t ever really elaborated on at all. While high, he fights like Cliff always does, and it doesn’t seem to affect him in any way. A 4-hour Director’s Cut is going to be released soon, but I doubt there will be any story in there either. Wouldn’t that be a laugh? The entire story was cut to make more room for flamethrowers and dirty feet. That’s all anybody really wanted to see anyways.

In summary, this movie was hilarious, had all the right Tarantino-esque scenes played out, great acting, and zero story. This could actually be seen in a positive light if you want it to, like re-inventing movies. Welcome to 2020: The dystopian reality of movies that are just series of cinematography with good music. Like, really good music. Using the original Batman music in the end was a nice touch. People said that you needed to really “know the history” to love this movie, but that was just it for me. I knew the history, read Helter Skelter from front to back, and I still didn’t think it was the masterpiece that some people say it is. It’s actually sad to think that this is what people call a masterpiece these days, but it is what it is. It was a pretty movie with good acting and a cathartic ending, but one that also leaves you begging the question, “What did I just watch?” You may feel robbed of your 3 hours or you may feel better for having had the experience. Either way, you’re still going to see Kill Bill 3 when it comes out.

3 stars.… Expand

Good film, but I thought the ending was kind of a let down. Better than Hateful Eight which I wasn’t a big fan of. Good acting and cinematography. Worth a Redbox.

As a piece of 'film-making' this is amazing cinema. As a movie, it's pretty crap if I'm being honest.
Beyond the way it looks and sounds, the great acting across the board and the attention to detail.. The film is missing a story, and a coherent plot.
At 160 minutes, the film is at least 40 minutes too long. There are innumerate stretched scenes, extended tracking shots, pointless dialogue and flashbacks that serve no purpose.
Even the finale where QT finally throws in some violence and blood seems forced, and because the rest of the film is very tame in that respect it doesn't fit the established ideas.

Overall it's a film I think everyone should watch once, but I suspect that they (and I) wouldn't be watching the film again for a very long time.… Expand

Right at the beginning ofOkay, let's talk about Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, the ninth film in the career of the genius Quentin Tarantino and probably his penultimate. Here he brings a very interesting hollywood setting in the late 60's. Right at the beginning of the film you can already imagine what the story will be, as it portrays the murder of Sharon Tate, which shook everyone at the time. Quentin Tarantino's direction and script remain brilliant and extremely authoritative. We can not fail to mention the high point of this work, the performances, Leonardo DiCaprio is impeccable, Margot Robbie is fantastic, but who manages to surprise more is Brad Pitt, who probably did the best job of his career, I believe that Brad's only performance who can go head to head with this is his role in Inglorious Basterds. We also have a brief appearance by Al Pacino, which is a pleasant surprise. The soundtrack is very well done and one of the best of the year. To conclude, I believe that this is not the best film of Tarantino's career, films like Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs present more complete elements, but Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is an excellent work of direction, script, acting and soundtrack sonorous.… Expand

Pero el desarrollo de la película es horrible, son escenas una tras otra sin un muy buen hilo que conecte la trama que se estanca en su intento de homenajear. Leí a alguien diciendo que la película "revoluciona la forma de hacer un guión y contar una historia en el cine" y que por eso era mucho mejor que Parásitos, una película mil veces mejor desarrollada que el montón de diálogos sin sentido y el desarrollo hueco, lento y aburrido de Once...
La tuve que ver en dos partes por lo poco entretenida que es. La familia Manson es como una excusa para que uno piense "en cualquier momento se va a desatar la violencia estilo Tarantino". Creo que si en lugar de ser una película hubiera sido una serie el resultado sería grandioso. Pero en cambio llega esta mezcla rara que solo se salva por sus actores y su recreación de la época.
