Hasn't made a good film since Inglorious Basterds

There has been a very noticeable decline in the quality of his movies starting with Django and I think it is in great part due to the fact that his long time editor die and is no longer working on his films (last movie she edited for him was Inglorious). His movies have been lacking that touch that made his films so much better before.

Pulp Fiction was his best movie, I think. There isn't a thing bad about that movie, but all the other movies have some kind of major drawback that keeps them from being short of perfect.

Hasn't made a good film since Inglorious Basterds

Yeah, right. "Django Unchained" was his second best ever, after "Pulp Fiction." And "Hateful Eight" ain't no slouch once you understand it (hint: it's called "The Hateful Eight" for a reason). As for "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," it worked for me with several highlights. Maybe it could've been tightened up a bit, but it's still vastly superior to overrated superhero flicks with their conventional (and decidedly dull) 'big battle' sequences in the last act, like "Avengers: Endgame."

Django unchained is amazing. I can only think of a handful of movies since that compare and those are all the classic big ones like Joker and stuff

My friend, I completely agree with you. With everything you said. We have the same taste in movies. While Inglorious basterds is a masterpiece however it has no rewatchability for me because every single character in the movie is so morally revolting with 0 charm to compensate for it while you actually like the characters in reservoir dogs. Liking the characters arfects the rewatchability a lot. That being said, editing is really really important apparently so QT losing an apparently really talented woman that did his editing left him with movies that have much worse tempo. Plus the fact he can't write a likeable character since Jackie Brown you get the lower quality I am sorry to say. One exception, the big black Johnson scene from hateful eight. That scene was great.

Django and ...Hollywood are both excellent as far as I'm concerned. I wasn't a big fan of The Hateful Eight, but not because it was edited badly - the editing was great in that film.

Just because someone doesn't like a particular film doesn't mean he hasn't made a good film..
I didn't personally care for Django or Hateful 8 and did like OUATIH...but it doesn't matter. All of his films have been appreciated by many people.

More like he hasn’t made a great movie since Jackie Brown.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was pretty forgettable until the very end, the part with the Manson family was fcking epic
