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.

Django is great. Tarantino delivers every time for pure cinematic entertainment. I also get a nice warm feeling that people, normal non-geek everyday people, go out to see the "new tarantino movie". Makes me happy there are directors out there like him doing what they do and making people go to the cinema.
- agreed, it irks me when people call his movies badfourth

Tarantino is Great storyteller but is weak in the actual area of directing. compare the cinematography of Django to Skyfall and Django looks more like a parody. I did enjoy Django enough to watch all the originals and other spagetti westerns, the Trinity series is incredible too. They all on YouTube under full movies.
