1: Morality is absent in the Tarantino verse.
2. His quirkiness and varied homages are often what make his movies unique. But sometimes they can just be annoying.
“Morality is absent in the Tarantino verse.”
It’s called an antihero and they have been around forever.
“His quirkiness and varied homages are often what make his movies unique. But sometimes they can just be annoying.”
His homages are part of what make his films so entertaining.
3. THE FLIP FLOPPING FANS WHO BASH HIM/HIS STYLE BUT THEN CANT NAME TOO MANY BETTER FILMS.

Will H. Hays would agree with you (Google him)
His biggest flaw as a filmmaker is his obsession with feet. Keep it to yourself, dude. No one wants to see that shit.

His self-indulgence. At first, those rambling dialogues full of non-sequiturs and pop-culture references were amusing, but now it's just tedious and boring. He has made movies in many genres, but the trouble is, because of his over-the-top self-indulgence, none of those films actually fit in with the genre they are supposed to be. Django and Hateful Eight are not real Westerns, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are not real crime movies, Inglourious Basterds is not a real war movie, Kill Bill is not a real Martial Arts movie, etc., etc. They can all only be called Tarantino films.
Not concerned about the lack of morality, as I am a huge fan of 70s movies with their morally ambiguous anti-heroes.
The feet thing.
shareI love his movies, but I agree with this. The only part I disagree with is 'Reservoir Dogs.' That is a legitimate crime film, IMO.
shareAgreed. I just re-watched Pulp Fiction last night (the only Tarantino film I actually like) and it gets annoying when he awkwardly inserts a brief monologue by one of the characters on the true nature of piercings -- what they represent and what they're used for -- when it has absolutely no bearing on anything coming before or after that scene. Including the character herself, whose other brief moments are intended solely for comic relief. The scene appears to be nothing more than Tarantino letting us all know he's in the know on obscure cultural happenings. Lucky us.
Inserting himself into the film with his horrible "ain't I so cool" lines is winch inducing, but overall I still like the film.
I disagree with both your complaints, but I do think where Quentin lacks skill as a storyteller is in the visual department. Don't get me wrong, most of his films are very well shot with beautiful cinematography to boot (courtesy of Robert Richardson) but he seems to lack the ability to use the camera in a way that's particularly meaningful to the scene unfolding. He can craft good-looking images that tell the story adequately well, but rarely do they add to the subtext of a given scene. He pretty much lets the script and the actors do that all for him.
