How do they fail as movies? You can like or dislike them, fair enough taste is subjective. But they are all tightly structured and follow their own internal logic.
I don't know if being memorable is a metric you can objectively measure, but if we go by memes, Tarantino movies have a few memes. As opposed to say the Avatar movies which made a billion dollars but has zero memes.
Which is simply navel gazing. They don't go anywhere or progress anything and leave a few number of plot holes behind. I also dislike the "rewriting history" angle. Django was the worst example of this. They're just funny setups for characters to act in with zero stakes from the outset. Hateful Eight was slightly more interesting than I expected but it has zero ties to the world in any regard. The things that happen there simply don't matter.
It's "Four Rooms" syndrome. Which can be great, but for fat head over here to praddle on about "film making," when he's a slightly higher rent Micheal Bay half the time is annoying to me.
A movie that goes nowhere can be enjoyable. It has to know that's what it's doing though. He doesn't really seem to.
