Description

Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood visits 1969 Los Angeles, where everything is changing, as TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age.

Tarantino is hit and miss for me but this film was so boring. All the cast were there but had nothing to work with. Brad Pitt got an Oscar and i have seen him in 100% better performances than this. The movie had no story and the cast where wasted. Tarantino needs to stop trying to replicate old movie styles and come back to reality.

A Modern Classic.

Understandably decisive. Some would say that “Nothing happens” but the clue is in the title. It’s a fairy tale. A ‘What-If” story where a truly horrific murder (remember that Sharon Tate really was murdered whilst Pregnant) is prevented by a Hollywood Hero. 3 lives interwoven culminating in a classic Tarantino ending. Wonderful. 5 stars for sure.

Good ending. Slow build up

A clever alternative history of Hollywood in the late 60s. Never really goes anywhere though. You keep waiting for the story to start, which it does in the last 15 minutes and this last portion is great but the purpose and entertainment value of the over two hours of lead up to this is underwhelming and pointless.

Loved it. Until the end.

Great movie, for all the Tarantino loving reasons I won’t bore you with. However, if I my wife had been brutally murdered 50 years ago, and a young filmmaker decided to pay homage/ rewrite what happened, I’d be pretty appalled.

Tarantino has a lot to live up to with his previous movies all being fantastic and a couple being perfect, this one packs in so much in a fairly long movie that is not just his love letter to Hollywood but also his tribute to his habit of changing historical events through fiction.
All the actors involved give out fantastic performances in a feel good drama which perfectly displays the changes of Hollywood and the terrors of the time.

So many people weren’t fans of this film and I just can’t understand why. The consistently incredible dialogue, performances, cinematography and soundtrack that are typical of a Tarantino film are all there. This film is an absolute masterpiece and if anyone disagrees, I want you to see it again. Who knows, you might like it better on your second watch. This film is incredible.

I love Q.T. Films. Great characters, detail & storylines. This film somehow manages to bore the living daylights out of you & then assault your understanding of a true historical event with a pointless (albeit ending that you wished had actually happening in real life) and cartoon finale. Bored, Bored, Bored + 15 mins of Marvel Comic Action!!!!

The problem is Hollywood need to make movies again and not political statements. There is a case where an actor said in a backstage interview after winning an award wanted to make people angry. It seems they are moaning about inequality which is something we have to accept as inequality has been around since before the Pharaohs. Inequality is here to stay just like the vast sums in these actors paychecks!

Slow, frustrating and laboured. Atmospheric but little else. If you’re after classic Tarantino, watch another of his films because this will disappoint. 2 hours of build up to very little. Indeed. What a waste of £9.99.

Starts with intro credits with huge names and promises to deliver an amazing movie.
Then nothing.... absolutely nothing. Just disjointed drivel until last 15minutes of bloody violences which is typical of Q.T movies. The script was a let down and nothing like any other quick whited Q.T script.
Great casting but that is the only saving grace,
most people who will rate this movie 5 stars are only doing so because it’s a Q.T movie. Not because of the entertainment value because that’s on 2/10.
A true struggle from start to finish. Save your money and don’t bother.

Really liked this movie. Lots of memorable moments, unlike the generic, populist, movie-mash around lately. Feels real, with a classic Tarantino vibe. Yes, it is a slow burner, but all the better for it, it demands your attention. One of the best movies I’ve seen for quite a while.

BAFTA’s reward racism and sexism

 – 
Vell-31

I am baffled as to why a movie with so many BAFTA nominations is in the discount isle at least for the second time. Typically, movies that are well received hold their price and only ever add a small discount long after the movies release but these price drops make me think the negative reviews have something in them that is true. The pricing is suspicious so I will skip it on two fronts; the first is that this movie as I have stated above has been nominated for multiple BAFTA’s and no doubt will receive numerous Oscar nominations but movies like ‘Hustlers’ have received no nominations from the BAFTAs and it is holding its price. The nominations stink of sexism and racism. I won’t support a movie that is being lauded just because it focuses on a white male protagonist in a chauvinistic industry. The BAFTA’s appear to be rewarding that environment and behaviour. The second if you haven’t already figured out is the price. Any film which drops its price this quickly is going to be bad, regardless of who made or who stars in it.
As for the critique that the plot doesn’t matter when Tarantino is focusing on the details which are everything then as an opening gambit on what makes a movie a movie, this movie should be offered for free. I am not paying for an item that is trying to imitate a time capsule, or fund someone’s nostalgia. If Tarantino wants to take a trip down memory lane to n industry when it approaching the zenith of toxic masculinity then that’s his business but don’t tell me this is a critical masterpiece or that I should enjoy the movie because of Tarantino’s attention to detail. Interior designers are known for their attention to detail but I wouldn’t want to watch a movie made by them either.

Brilliant with an unexpected twist

His films are like Marmite and I know where I stand with this one. The reviews seem to say it’s the last 30 mins that are what makes the film! Well I’d say maybe a five minute unexpected bit was the film’s highlight. It’s slow, boring and pretty pointless for 90% of the time and above all disappointing. I loved Pulp Fiction and Django, (in my top five movies of all time), but this is forgettable and will soon be in CEX for £4 on blue ray. I’m sure some people will love this film, just like some people think a banana stuck to a wall with gaffa tape is a work of art!!!

Fantastic film. Yes... it hasn’t got much of a plot, however Tarantino’s attention to detail (like the soundtrack when there’s a car scene with the radio) all pays homage to his love letter of 60s Hollywood.
I feel as if that most of the one-star reviewers are not aware of the context of that time in Hollywood. The tragedy of the Sharon Tate murder was replaced with a satisfying ending with Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) and Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) bossing it. This turned it from a ‘once upon a time’ into a ‘happy ever after’ with Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) being safe with her expected baby. Grow up to those who thought that scene was too violent? What do you expect from a Tarantino movie - this is why you should consider the context before whining about ultra violence, I thought that scene was epic!
Wonderful cast, soundtrack and mise-en-scene. For me, one of Tarantino’s greatest films.

One of the worst movie

In case it passed you by, type in on YouTube - Quentin Tarantino Howard stern Roman Polanski. Tarantino openly defends the drugging and rape of a 13 year old girl whilst saying ‘she was up for it’ Best friends with Weinstein, enjoys violence, probably enjoys other creepy stuff but showing brutal murder is ok so there we go. End this creeps career already ...

No story.

It really surprises me how polarising this film seems to have been with viewers.
It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I can only think that a lot of the 1-star reviews are a knee-jerk reaction against people’s expectations and/ or the largely positive critics’ reviews. Regardless of whether you were fully satisfied with the end result, given the craftsmanship on display in terms of dialogue, direction, cinematography and acting, it’s hard to imagine how people can consider it a 1-star film. As for those reviewers who called it the worst film they’d ever seen, I can only assume that they haven’t watched many movies.
Yes, if you came looking for two-and-a-half hours of Tarantino ultraviolence, then you might be miffed that you had to wait for most of the movie’s runtime to get it - but in that case you’ve probably never watched, say, Jackie Brown. For me, when Tarantino finally takes off the gloves for the last act, entertaining though it is, it was a slight disappointment that he hadn’t been able to maintain his restraint right to the end.
I’ve seen reviews comparing this unfavourably to The Hateful Eight, which I actually thought was a nadir for this director - lacking his trademark ear for dialogue, in particular. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is largely a return to form, and while it’s not perfect and is perhaps twenty minutes too long, on the whole I liked it a lot.

Really Disappointing

Worst Tarantino to date by some distance. Nicely shot. Good sound track. Great cast. But the storyline or plot is hard to follow and exceeding boring as well. This is one of the worst films I have ever rented. The only reason my wife and I kept going was a) we had paid the rental and b) we were convinced it would get better. It didn’t.

Great cast performance, and little else

Despite Tarantino's attention to detail, and a great cast acting superbly this is limpid, long, boring and a huge disappointment. I'd rent rather than just assume because it's Tanrantino it must be brilliant because it really isn't

For the most part this movie is pretty good. However it turns EXTREMELY violent at the end and for no reason. If you enjoy seeing women brutally beat by a man this is the movie for you. Otherwise skip it or turn off 25 mins from the end. Spoils an overall good movie.

Loved this a lot, Tarantino dialogue to a point.

Without the entertaining performances of Decaprio, Pitt and Pacino, who are always a pleasure to watch, this would be getting 1 star. This film is such a disappointment. It has most of the ingredients of a Tarantino movie - great A-list actors, amusing dialogue, a cool soundtrack, and stylish production design. But sadly it lacks plot, place and purpose. And the action and violence that has characterised so many of his movies is confined to the last 10 minutes. The mostly tedious two and half and hours that lead up to this point is comprised of an odd collection of multiple narratives that don't really seem to go anywhere. I know it's argued that this is Tarantino's homage to 1960s Hollywood, and in many respects it is a very detailed and beautifully presented. And as Hollywood always loves movies about itself, I'm sure there will be plenty of critics who will wax lyrical about it. But from the perspective of a viewer who wants to be entertained, this is a self-indulgent, overlong and boring disappintment.

I’ve seen it five times now, it’s so much fun and packed with so much detail that there’s something new to appreciate every time. I’ve liked a lot of Tarantino films but this is the first I’ve really loved.
The performances are amazing, DiCaprio and Pitt are fantastic but even the “small” parts like Pacino, the little girl and Kurt Russell are amazing. Margot Robbie glides through the film with a very respectful and innocent portrayal of Sharon Tate. Everyone seems to bring something unique and captivating to their performance.
The music and setting are amazing, it really does look like it was filmed in the ‘60s and even though I wasn’t born for another 20 years I did feel transported back. Definitely give this a watch!

Absolutely fantastic!

I loved this movie, very cleverly written, shot and directed. However the actual acting was the standout. Leonardo DiCaprio was perfectly cast as Rick Dalton, he’s the only actor who can portray another character who is also an actor and then portray another character as the character he is acting as (Rick Dalton), which means you should see this film because of how amazing this is alone! Margot Robbie is also brilliant, although she does not say much, she is brilliant in her expression and I feel she is more powerful in this way, proving she can do as much with expression than she can do with lines. However, the standout to me is Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth, he is perfect as the stunt man and he makes his almost one dimensional character (if played by any other actor) and gives him a vibrant sense of life. Cliff Booth’s (Pitt’s) arc throughout the film is (in my opinion) the most interesting and exciting, leading to one of the most satisfying and exciting movie endings of all time (also in my opinion). It almost pains me to give it only 4 stars but there’s one good reason, the movie feels longer than it has to be. Throughout Once Upon A Time In Hollywood there are many extended sequences, of cliff driving for example through a late 60’s Hollywood which is interesting but does mean that some viewers may get bored over these repeated extended shots which are there solely to create the 60’s vibe, which I guess is crucial to the film’s tone but I just wish it could have been done quicker or differently. The film is also very dialogue heavy (throughout the whole film up until the last 20 minutes or so), however I liked this, it was something different and fresh, but some viewers may find this boring and you have to take this into account before you see the film to know if it is truly for you, however if you’re like me then this is something you will enjoy. These are the only problems I can think of with this excellent piece of cinema that I feel everyone should experience just once, if not more!

Not bad...

So there’s two and a bit hours of beautifully shot build up and some seemingly meaningless, but endearing, characters. Then there’s the last 15/20 minutes of absolutely incredible acting, choreography, make up and the dog!!! Leo D is soooo good. I’d have given three stars but the ending added one more. Worth reading up on the characters a bit before watching.
