Everyone, including me, got COMPLETELY worked by the fake Wikipedia spoilers.Bravo to whomever came up with that one. Still an extremely Tarantino ending which evokes the same themes as the fake ending, but nothing close to the bombast implied in the spoilers.
WHAT WERE THE WIKIPEDIA SPOILERS? DIDNT SEE THOSE
I'm wrestling with exactly why this didn't work for me. I definitely want to watch, like, 90 minutes of this again. As an elegy for a Hollywood of that time, I loved it. The small moments, the easter eggs and the production design were beautifully done. The storytelling just stretched will beyond what I would consider necessary or entertaining. There a great movie in here, it's just drowned by a flat, decidedly non-Tarantino script. It's a damn shame.

that is not what he was saying.
I KNOW I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AFTER I POSTED N EDITED MY COMMENT
FIRST OF ALL, GOING IN I EXPECTED A 10/10 CLASSIC, CUZ THE HOMIE WHO SAW IT BEFORE ME HYPED THE SHIIT OUT OF IT....
SO BASED ON THAT, IT DIDNT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS.
THAT SAID, I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE, AND ALTHOUGH THERE WAS BASICALLY NO PLOT, THE CHARACTERS WERE FANTASTIC, AND THE 3RD ACT WAS CLASSIC TARANTINO ......
I DID THINK IT ENDED A LITTLE ABRUPTLY THO. VERY ANTI-CLIMATIC WAY TO END THINGS. BUT THERE WERE ENOUGH CLASSIC MOMENT THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE (BRUCE LEE VS BRAD PITT, LEO’S BREAKDOWN, PITT’S VISIT TO THE MANSON FAMILY, LEO’S INTERACTION WIT THE LIL GIRL, ETC.) TO MAKE FOR A GOOD MOVIE THAT KEEPS YOU ENGAGED.
OVERALL, I WOULDNT SAY ITS ONE OF TARANTINO’S BEST, BUT NOT HIS WORST EITHER.

I've enjoyed all of Tarantino's movies (although Kill Bill or Django felt weaker than his other stuff). I think people know by now whether they like his style, I can't imagine this being much different.
The movie sounds good, the criticisms on here don't sound damning, they sound like the movie wasn't made for you. That being said, i'm not going to let my expectations get too high because that looks like another problem. People were expecting it to be Pulp Fiction 2 or something.

Really didn't expect to feel so unfulfilled after leaving a QT movie.
Last act felt like it should have been the middle act.
I enjoyed it, and the climax was great but when I realized it was over, couldn't help but feel, "that's it?"

These basically sum up my feelings on it. I caught a 10am showing this morning, six bucks. Would’ve loved to have caught the 70MM joint at this old school cinema in Chicago but logically I’d be spending close to $20 and I already bought my Hidden Colors 5 ticket off this same check so, “Nah.”

I cant believe how average the dialogue was in this. Wasted Al Pacino too. I'll watch it again to see if I feel any different. Sad that no Burt Reynolds but Dern did great
His movies get better after multiple viewings
