Review, "Once upon s time in Hollywood."

[Averageman]

A great movie.
A failing actor (Di Caprio) his stunt double (Pitt) are facing the end of their careers in Hollywood and a series of events leads them to a revisionist history meeting with the Manson gang.

If you grew up in the 60s, or know a bit about the Manson Family, you'll love this movie.
Honesty had the entire theatre laughing out loud, plus it has flame throwers.

I love watching movies made in or set during this era.

Great cars, and when I was a kid all the women in the look of the era.

Are cool cars, mini skirts, go go boots, etc. well represented in this movie?

The wife and I loved it as well. Knowing the history, I really was not looking forward to seeing the killings but the movie did it very well. I’ll leave it at that so as not to spoil it.

The setting is way before my time. Even before the time of my older brother, who was born in 66. However, I love this time period for some unknown reason. I love the musical score and music from that era (or modern music that sounds like it). I love the set, the costumes, the general "look" of things.

I thought the movie was great.

I saw it last night, my dad grew up in the San Fernando Valley during that time and was 15 in 1969. I've actually been to the address on Cielo Dr, but the house was demo'd in the 1990s and was replaced with a new address.

The music, the KHJ recordings used, cars, costumes etc were fantastic. Dad loved it, I really enjoyed it. I really liked the part at the Spahn Ranch with Brad Pitt and Bruce Dern. The family claimed they were there with permission, but no one really believed it and I'm glad that was included along with showing the filth they were living in at the Ranch. If only the ending was how it really went down.

I think it was, at least for me, Tarantino's best film to date.

I was mildly disappointed with it. It was a well made movie that I'm sure will be nominated for many awards, BUT, it didn't feel like a Tarantino movie to me. I enjoyed the ending, but maybe the movie didn't mean the same to me as I'm 30 years old and did not experience the era.

[Pappabear]

The reviews on this movie are so so at best. I was really looking forward to it, but at least now my expectations are pulled back a bit. Review to follow.

Tarantino sucks, he needs to stick to blacksploitation remakes. It's really the only thing he understands.

All his "alternative history" stuff comes off like a comic book.

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

Excellent movie. I saw it with two friends (all of us are in our 40s) and my wife on a second night. My favorite QT movie since Pulp Fiction. I actually LIKED his characters, which isn't always easy.

Just saw it, I liked it but then I lived through the dirty hippy era. The ending made me think of the line from Tremors "Broke into the wrong damn rec room didn't you".
