I liked it! Watched Inglorious Basterds the next day as I'd not seen that, which is also fucking ace. I think I prefer Inglorious actually, watching them side by side.
Of his films I think Pulp Fiction is the most successful for me, just because it skates the line between the genre-vernacular he's referencing and the usual construct of what a film usually is for a mass audience. Not saying that it's my favourite, but it does a lot of things his way and just enough 'by the book to not feel completely indulgent.
I'd love to see him do another crime caper again, something really American. Watching Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown again, you see how he really nails down a specific type of Americana. A bit like Paul Thomas Anderson really.
I watched Moonrise Kingdom and I'll have to say that even though I've loved Wes Anderson I felt that I'd seen the film before in one guise or another. Tarantino surprises every time i think.
