Jackie Brown rocks for one simple reason.

Oh, and **** you all.
Remember that one with the train? Just like it was coming right at the audience! People were running out of the theatre, it was really something.

Among the rest of the film. But yes friend, especially when Deniro mows her down in the parking lot.

Bollocks I say!
He didn't rewrite ****.
He took a bunch of stuff from mostly 60s/70s movies and condensed it into easily digestible form for the modern crowd. Fun and well done, sure, but surely nothing too special. He isn't half as clever as dumbasses who are confused by the slightest deviation from linear storytelling would make one believe. And the shtick with all that 'coolness' and the contrast of violence and crime with mundane themes and dialogues gets a bit tiresome pretty fast.

I hear people rattle off that opinion all the time but they never go into why or I just straight up disagree with their why.

So I'm going to ask you.

Why do you think it isn't great?

I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more had I seen it when it was released in theaters as the double feature, but I didn't and because of that whenever I watch it kind of comes off as a novelty piece. Don't get me wrong, I like the move, I think I gave it a 7/10 on imdb, but it just doesn't measure up to Tarantino's other films in terms of dialogue or characters. My favourite part about Tarantino films are the characters, i.e Vincent & Jules, Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, Brad Pitt & Cristophe Waltz in Inglorious Basterds, etc. etc. I feel that Deathproof lacks that same sort of dynamic cast, even though I do usually love me some Kurt Russell.

That's one terribly jaded way to look at it. The other is to recognize the vast number of films that were directly influenced by his style in the wake of RD and PF. The number of awards the dude has gotten. And the acclaim he's been given by his peers and the industry regarding his influence. I'll side with this guy on QT.
