He wrote True Romance, he only partially wrote and directed Four Rooms as a side project, and he merely wrote and starred in From Dusk 'Till Dawn. Therefore, none of those films legally belong to him. Besides, they always market it off to the director, and advertising is usually out of the director's hands so you really can't blame it on Tarantino. This so-called "film critic" (in his dreams) is attacking Tarantino for things he's not responsible for just because of how little he has to say.

@Transformers2themax You really need to get over it. How many times have you come back to this or the Basterds review to clutter up the comments page? So a film critic doesn't like Tarantino. Big deal. Go put on Death Proof and have yourself a good time, then.

@TulseLuper

To be fair, he could use that same response for you. Big deal, he likes Tarantino. He's just giving his point of view.

[TulseLuper]

@TrevorKingKwong Plenty of people here have given their points-of-view. This guy has been spamming every single one of my Kermode/Tarantino uploads. It's obnoxious and annoying.

i love most Quentin movies, but this review is fuckin gold. shit movie by the way.

[judgenutmeg1977]

As soon as Kermode finished this review, he went home and put on his Quentin Tarantino mask, dropped his trousers and then wanked angrily in front of a mirror, almost pulling off his penis in the process.

[BeestOfSpood]

@TrevorKingKwong His point of view is also wrong.

[chairmanmeow1973]

I thought the movie was brilliant. Ive watched it many times. Very underrated and I'm sure one day it will receive the acclaim it deserves.

[GreatScottPilgrimage]

Before Death Proof came out, Tarantino explained in an interview (either Total Film or Empire) that the Grindhouse version would be stripped to it's most exciting parts, cutting to the chase as it were, like the way theatre owners would edit their movies for double bills and whatnot, with nods to missing reels etc. Then you watch the Grindhouse version which contains what feels like an hour long conversation at the beginning and cuts out the lapdance, the best part of the film! Fucking stoopid.

[MrRodney1985]

tarantino is one of my favorite film makers. he makes the movies he wants to make. love all his directorial efforts and most of the ones hes written. he makes movies for fans, not critics. he is one of those directors that i cant wait for another release because his films are fun, funny, action packed, sly, and, most important off all, great movies.

This really is CLASSIC Kermode. Such an amazing rant.
