Well, I think Tarantino is like most pop culture sensations...his work gets steadily less brilliant and ground breaking with each new offer.
Perhaps I'm just irredeemably stuck in the 90's, but I think his early films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) we're much better than his later films (Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds). His earlier films were original. His later films just look like cheap copies of cheap genres.

Would have to disagree somewhat, Django Unchained was brilliant. Although Pulp Fiction is still his finest work.
