People have to understand that when "Jackie Brown" FIRST came out, YOUNG people, especially, HATED it, for the most part and it got mixed reviews everywhere. The reason being that everyone was just so floored with the THRILLING aspects of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" that when "Jackie Brown" came along - a VERY slowly paced film about people in their middle age, confronting the end of their relevance to the world and navigating a world they'd grown cynical about and finding love in the end - only to understand that they couldn't be together and that it would never work - this was VERY different than his first two films and was much more FORMAL, in terms of its presentation and style. So it was a total surprise to a lot of people. I remember seeing it with an audience of young people like me and while I loved it, half of the audience was literally laughing at the "old people" in it and going "ew!" when they kissed - and you could literally hear GROANS from the entire audience near the end when it hadn't ended yet. So while "Jackie Brown", in RETROSPECT, has been reevalued by a lot of critics and audiences as probably his greatest movie - ironically, for those VERY REASONS people didn't like it at the time - that it's the most HUMAN and grounded film he'd made (which had a lot to do with Elmore Leonard being the source of the story and not Tarantino, I mean, let's be honest) - at the TIME, it was a box office failure and had a very mixed critical reaction. So there's nothing these critics were saying that nobody else was. Tarantino has NEVER made another movie like "Jackie Brown" and I still maintain that it's his greatest piece of work. But in 1997, this was *not* the movie people wanted or expected from him and it took MANY years for people to recognize how strong it is.
@redadamearth10 ай бұрын
Hmm, well Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction didn't exactly feature YOUNG PEOPLE, did they? Jackie Brown (Rum Punch) could have been made by anyone, with a totally different cast and it would have been just about as good. Just look at Life of Crime (2013), an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's other novel featuring some of the same characters as Jackie Brown. It's possibly superior to Tarantino's movie, although it was surely influenced by his work. The disappointment of Jackie Brown is that it was a waste of his talents other than proving he could make a fairly generic crime thriller, making him more commercially viable.
@mightisright9 ай бұрын
I've enjoyed all of Tarantino's films, but I haven't loved one since Jackie Brown. Almost nobody writes dialogue better than Quentin, however, the characters all sound the same. You can hear Quentin's "voice" behind all his characters which makes them less distinct. Jackie Brown was different. Distinct characters that didn't all talk the same and speak like individuals
@clash5j9 ай бұрын
Excuse my ignorance. You aren’t going to agree with me but perhaps we can reach middle ground: I recently had a discussion with someone that believes Full Metal Jacket is a great film from beginning to end. I feel it’s one great film attached to a disjointed and unmemorable one. A slow paced film can be pulled off well (There Will Be Blood). Part of how I gauge how good a film actually is, is how much do you remember after watching it once? Except for “AK-47, when you absolutely need to kill every motherfucker in the room” most people can’t remember most of the film. It can be argued that artistic vision supersedes watchability (Orwell’s 1984 is hard to watch) but really what was Quintin’s goal here? To bore us? I don’t know a single person on a Friday night that would say, “you know what we should do? Watch Jacky Brown!” To me (just my opinion and I’m open to changing my mind) people want to like Jacky Brown because they love Quentin the same way they like the second half of Full Metal Jacket. They believe in Kubrick’s vision even when he misses the point that a film is meant to be watchable.

My dad and I went to see Jackie Brown together in the theater. I was 16 and he was in his mid-50s, so basically Max Cherry's age. We both loved the movie and loved every performance. I think a lot of people thought they were going to see "Pulp Fiction 2," but if you took it on its own terms, it was wonderful. The only thing that bothered me on the first screening was that I wasn't prepared for Sam Jackson to play the bad guy, and you don't realize that's the case early. He doesn't really become the bad guy until the final few scenes. So that threw me off. But sheesh, we came out of there knowing we had seen a great movie, and I thought a lot of the criticism of the film came from critiques and fans who were critiquing this based on the movie they thought he was going to make, not the movie he did make. What I didn't think about until years later was that after Pulp Fiction, so many movies had an element of Pulp Fiction's surface: the humor mixed with the violence. Some held up on their own terms (Usual Suspects), some found an audience even if that audience even if they weren't fully unique (Go, which I loved, Boondock Saints and Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead, which I didn't) and some were just ripoffs (Suicide Kings comes to mind). But I think what's fascinating is that none of these directors would have made Jackie Brown if they set out to make a "Tarantino-esque movie" in the late 90s. That's why he's him and they're not.

If someone thinks Jackie Brown is a little think on plot/story - but that’s their only or main issue - they may find what they want in 1 of those 2 films. Pulp Fiction is almost universally agreed to be his best movie - and the movie basically follows around a bunch of criminals. It’s amazing. Jackie Brown? As far as a “criminal” movie goes - it’s got everything. It’s just too good. Criminals cops and in between. All the performances and casting is perfect. I can’t think of a better cast movie. Everyone who speaks is perfect for it. I don’t know I just find it to be amazing in every way and re-watchable.

Jackie Brown is my least favourite Tarantino movie. I've seen it many times and I've tried to understand why it doesn't work for me like the other Tarantino movies do. I think it's because it's not an original script. Some of the themes in JB are missing in all the others QT movies, like fear of getting old or falling in love. I think JB could have been directed by somebody else, ie De Palma, while the other QT movies could have only been directed by QT. It also seems to me a bit slow in some parts, although I understand Quentin's intention with the slow pacing.

The film's problem is not its length. The film is overall dull. The music, the clothes, the casting and some of the dialog give the film a sparkle. But the story and pacing are uninteresting. The love story works but when we spend time with Samuel Jackson's character it lags. I think it's his worst film. I read the novel recently and it was better than the movie. I love the casting of Robert Forrester.

He is over-rated. All he did was take old stories and add current vernacular. That's almost all he did. Mann, both Scotts, FIncher and Villeneuve are all better directors. Fans can say he wrote and directed, and that's true, but there are better writers and better directors and we can see it with True Romance, Jackie Brown and Natural Born Killers. After Pulp Fiction, the more control he has, the worse the movie. Look at The Hateful Eight as an example. It's boring contrived dross, wasting superstars when they could have been in a good film. The German one and Django Unchained are slightly better but they're never going to be in anyone's top 100. He made two good movies a long time ago, and became the darling of the new wave or whatever, but can't reach in talent the position he gained through other means.

With all due respect, you only named like five other actors, which still makes him better than the vast majority of other directors. 😅 I also think he's overrated, but at least he has a certain amount of artistic integrity, unlike the hacks that pass for big budget directors these days. With him at least you know you're getting some sort of artistic vision that you can agree or disagree with. Whether or not it's worth slapping down $20 to see it at the theater is a different matter.

Jackie Brown sucks. And this great ending he's talking about? Ordell walks into a dark room, and gets shot. Wow, brilliant ending there, genius. The whole point was to arrest him, it was a sting, but no, if Ordell gets arrested he rats out Jackie, so he gets shot in this totally ridiculous harebrained way... actually, they wouldn't have even let him inside the building, they would have arrested him outside, in the sidewalk instantly. It's a long movie, it's boring, its all talk, like he's never heard of the concept of "Show, don't tell." Terrible film. People that like it are just Tarantino fanboys. But hey, Kevin Smith is the worst filmmaker of all time, and yet he still has a massive fanbase. Just like Tarantino.

People have to understand that when "Jackie Brown" FIRST came out, YOUNG people, especially, HATED it, for the most part and it got mixed reviews everywhere. The reason being that everyone was just so floored with the THRILLING aspects of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" that when "Jackie Brown" came along - a VERY slowly paced film about people in their middle age, confronting the end of their relevance to the world and navigating a world they'd grown cynical about and finding love in the end - only to understand that they couldn't be together and that it would never work - this was VERY different than his first two films and was much more FORMAL, in terms of its presentation and style. So it was a total surprise to a lot of people. I remember seeing it with an audience of young people like me and while I loved it, half of the audience was literally laughing at the "old people" in it and going "ew!" when they kissed - and you could literally hear GROANS from the entire audience near the end when it hadn't ended yet. So while "Jackie Brown", in RETROSPECT, has been reevalued by a lot of critics and audiences as probably his greatest movie - ironically, for those VERY REASONS people didn't like it at the time - that it's the most HUMAN and grounded film he'd made (which had a lot to do with Elmore Leonard being the source of the story and not Tarantino, I mean, let's be honest) - at the TIME, it was a box office failure and had a very mixed critical reaction. So there's nothing these critics were saying that nobody else was. Tarantino has NEVER made another movie like "Jackie Brown" and I still maintain that it's his greatest piece of work. But in 1997, this was *not* the movie people wanted or expected from him and it took MANY years for people to recognize how strong it is.
Hmm, well Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction didn't exactly feature YOUNG PEOPLE, did they? Jackie Brown (Rum Punch) could have been made by anyone, with a totally different cast and it would have been just about as good. Just look at Life of Crime (2013), an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's other novel featuring some of the same characters as Jackie Brown. It's possibly superior to Tarantino's movie, although it was surely influenced by his work. The disappointment of Jackie Brown is that it was a waste of his talents other than proving he could make a fairly generic crime thriller, making him more commercially viable.
I've enjoyed all of Tarantino's films, but I haven't loved one since Jackie Brown. Almost nobody writes dialogue better than Quentin, however, the characters all sound the same. You can hear Quentin's "voice" behind all his characters which makes them less distinct. Jackie Brown was different. Distinct characters that didn't all talk the same and speak like individuals
Excuse my ignorance. You aren’t going to agree with me but perhaps we can reach middle ground: I recently had a discussion with someone that believes Full Metal Jacket is a great film from beginning to end. I feel it’s one great film attached to a disjointed and unmemorable one. A slow paced film can be pulled off well (There Will Be Blood). Part of how I gauge how good a film actually is, is how much do you remember after watching it once? Except for “AK-47, when you absolutely need to kill every motherfucker in the room” most people can’t remember most of the film. It can be argued that artistic vision supersedes watchability (Orwell’s 1984 is hard to watch) but really what was Quintin’s goal here? To bore us? I don’t know a single person on a Friday night that would say, “you know what we should do? Watch Jacky Brown!” To me (just my opinion and I’m open to changing my mind) people want to like Jacky Brown because they love Quentin the same way they like the second half of Full Metal Jacket. They believe in Kubrick’s vision even when he misses the point that a film is meant to be watchable.
@@clash5jagreed
Why do you feel the need to put random words in caps?
I swear, I can (and do) spend hours listening to Tarantino talk about his thought process behind movies. He does such a good job explaining what it is that he finds interesting about the films he makes, and listening to his perspective is invaluable to me as someone trying to learn more about what makes movies tick.
Totally.
i ripped through cinema speculation and i could easily read it again. i cant decide if he is a better writer or a film director. his novelization of OUATIH is so well written.
His movies are good because he makes what he wants to which means he cares, most movies you will watch were made (at best partially) for money. Imo thats most of it.
He's like the Neil Degrasse Tyson of film, just more likeable, like before NDG got all douchey. He speaks with a genuine charismatic enthusiasm, and gets into creative and technical detail but in a way that's very direct and descriptive and easy to understand.

Tarantino and the Cohen brothers have brought back the joy of cinema for me.
The way he answers to the critic... I felt I went back to my naïf days at film school, remembering how Directors should be: real artists. That's the only key for a great motion picture. with all the pros and the cons that an artist brings on the table. Tarantino it like a Picasso, a Mozart. He has truly an unique brain. I would say that our times, made by white collars controlling the arts and promoting "algorithms" as the main stream solution to make products that make money, don't deserve such a gifted artist.
3:18 has me weak bro. Just look at his expression when QT expounded on his reasoning 😂.
This aged well for Quentin
That lady was not ready for change. Jackie Brown is very subversive - ahead of its time!
She was philosophically woke before woke was cool, QT was just pointing actually reality that he/his actors/the culture was experiencing in real life while not in effort of making a word count for an east coast liberal think-piece. It's why he's a genius.
Overrated
Huh? She said she liked pulp fiction so… did I miss something. She refused to engage him because of her principles and that she hadn’t written the review yet. Principles is a good thing. I wonder if this is the critic Tarantino admired… anyone know?
Admired? I’d say by the body language he was downright hot for her.
@@jkerfeld Jesus fucking CHRIST this is cringe-inducing.
I’m a big Tarantino fan, but I watched Jackie Brown fully for the first time the other day, for the first time since seeing it in theaters when it came out. I didn’t much like it back then because I was expecting more Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs out of it. People were still figuring out what Tarantino style was. Now, 30 years later, I appreciate Jackie Brown much more.
Care to explain why that is?
I was 20 years old when it came out in theaters and I felt I was hoodwinked and hated the movie. It's the only time I've seen it until I watched it again last night. I fell in love with this movie. It's probably an age thing. Now that I'm the same age as many of the characters are in the movie I understand what QT was doing and it's cinematic perfection! I'm sorry QT I admit I was hat 20 year old hater because it was so far removed from what I was expecting.
To me Jackie Brown is one of his finest films, I loved it.
My dad and I went to see Jackie Brown together in the theater. I was 16 and he was in his mid-50s, so basically Max Cherry's age. We both loved the movie and loved every performance. I think a lot of people thought they were going to see "Pulp Fiction 2," but if you took it on its own terms, it was wonderful. The only thing that bothered me on the first screening was that I wasn't prepared for Sam Jackson to play the bad guy, and you don't realize that's the case early. He doesn't really become the bad guy until the final few scenes. So that threw me off. But sheesh, we came out of there knowing we had seen a great movie, and I thought a lot of the criticism of the film came from critiques and fans who were critiquing this based on the movie they thought he was going to make, not the movie he did make. What I didn't think about until years later was that after Pulp Fiction, so many movies had an element of Pulp Fiction's surface: the humor mixed with the violence. Some held up on their own terms (Usual Suspects), some found an audience even if that audience even if they weren't fully unique (Go, which I loved, Boondock Saints and Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead, which I didn't) and some were just ripoffs (Suicide Kings comes to mind). But I think what's fascinating is that none of these directors would have made Jackie Brown if they set out to make a "Tarantino-esque movie" in the late 90s. That's why he's him and they're not.
What talent exists among those "critics"? For what are they known, remembered, and renowned? The arrogance of the lady to answer "get serious" when asked if she liked the movie. And her refusal to discuss the movie on a panel discussion show discussing the movie begs the question, what was she even doing there other than to suggest her critiques were not open to discussion and therefore beyond reproach. Utter cowardly, delusional arrogance.
Wow these critics all come of kinda weak. If you can't go deeper than "what are the hats about?" And "it's too long.". You probably shouldn't be a critic. If you feel like criticizing you should at least be able to bring up what you would've changed.

Now there are nine he’s directed alone, two that he just wrote, and one other that he disavows because he was rewritten and it was directed by someone else too.

That exchange is all in the eyes and in Sam you see the humanity in Ordell when, in a strange way, he’s been the terrorizer, but becomes vulnerable because he knows maybe this might be the end for him but max looks him straight in the eye, empathetic eyes reassuring him that nothing shady is going on. Its like the role’s switch. Even when after Micheal Keaton shoots him in there and the close up on ordell dead, he still had that look of vulnerability and surprise, you almost feel sorry for him, even though he wpuld have had no pb killing them all in there for his money. Ofc the final kiss between Max and Jackie and last scene Pam grier in the car singing along to across 110th street with tears in her eyes as she leaves max. Iconic ❤

I read the book well before, and can attest that Tarantino succeeded in making the movie feel just like reading the book.
Elmore Leonard was such an incredible novelist. I wish more people would read him.
She has the courage to criticize the movie *only* if Quentin Tarantino is not in front of her and desperately invent nonsensical reasons not to do so.
Jackie Brown is not too long. It is as long as it needs to be.
I love all of Tarantino's movies, but this one is my absolute favorite. This movie feels like a nice warm, comforting hug when i watch it no matter my mental mood or physical feeling. Jackie Brown, The Life Aquatic, The Thing and Event Horizon are the only movies i can watch no matter what.
It's not a bad film. And from someone who's from LA and understands the milieu I can appreciate the sense of truth in the storyline. It's probably a film that requires a few viewings to fully appreciate and its a film that stews rather than jumps out at the viewer. So I can appreciate it. Were it the first film in the catalog....I doubt it would have jump started things like RD or PF and QT would've just been another quirky indie filmmaker infinitum...
OMY He just drips talent like a melting popsicle Pete / these poor critic's don't know what they are up against he is a master

Fucking critics that never direct and maybe played an extra in a school play. This movie was a masterpiece and they just dont like it because it was different. I couldnt comprehend that 2 1/2 hrs went by that fast when i first saw it. It took me to another world watching this film
It's one of his best whenever him and Sam get together it's a classic best director-actor duo in the game maybe de Niro and Scorsese
Pulp Fiction is so clearly his masterpiece that virtually everyone found this movie an anti climax who saw them both when they came out at the time. All of a sudden he could get De Niro ffs.. everything changed for him. If you're a songwriter you can't follow your best album and one of the all time great albums with a better one. It's just the way it is. Jackie Brown is a very solid piece of work and a very well executed film. It probably is a little underrated. My only criticism would be the overuse of that Delfonics tune to an almost comedic degree.
How on earth is 2 and a half hours “too long”?!
Just think this was the attention span over 20 years ago.
Too long has nothing to do with the length itself but if there's enough to the story to justify the length. This is why films like Jackie Brown are too long and The Godfather Part II isn't.

Very fascinating dynamic QT and the female critic have going
I saw that movie when I was young and don’t remember thinking it was long.
I’ve settled on it as my favourite Tarantino film. Movies like Django & Inglorious have the advantage of being centered around huge historical events. If someone thinks Jackie Brown is a little think on plot/story - but that’s their only or main issue - they may find what they want in 1 of those 2 films. Pulp Fiction is almost universally agreed to be his best movie - and the movie basically follows around a bunch of criminals. It’s amazing. Jackie Brown? As far as a “criminal” movie goes - it’s got everything. It’s just too good. Criminals cops and in between. All the performances and casting is perfect. I can’t think of a better cast movie. Everyone who speaks is perfect for it. I don’t know I just find it to be amazing in every way and re-watchable. Yeah it’s my favourite Tarantino movie and I just edited this quickly - I didn’t even realise it’s 2.5 hours long. Doesn’t feel like it.
Good for QT for doing this. JB is better than most movies.
Critics, critic because they couldn't write or direct. Jackie Brown is an amazing movie
I watched this movie again last night. what drew my attention was the amount of times I found jackie brown attractive, despite at the same time not finding her attractive. it was this ambiguous feeling. Maybe because it's implied by the movie that she is attractive and I do not find her. Or maybe I dunno, something else. But one minute she fine, one minute not and there is this constant switch between these states. loved the movie though. very good, was also sad about the amount of screen time Chris Tucker had lol., love that actor. That scene where Ordell picks him up from his home, I laughed so much at the way Tucker walked, it was hilarious. Top actors there man.
Elmore Leonard has recently became my favorite author. His books are truly QT films on paper. So much fun to read and the dialogue is what hilds it all together. Ill read 100 pages of an EL book without even knowing what the plot is but it is so enjoyable because im getting to know the characters on a personal level and at that point i dont care what the plot is about!

Could do with African Americans in this discussion, younger people and other film makers not critics who have never made a film. It was deeper than his other films up to that point.
I never met a single brotha in the 90s who rocked a Kangol. I only saw them on TV.
I watch it once a month!
its one of my favorite Quentin movies maybe the best and that means its one of my favorite movies.
Whats the ladys name?
The Jackie Brown soundtrack has been my most played album & I think the film is Tarantino's most refined.
Quentin's final film will involve a film critic apparently
Boy oh boy did these critics get it wrong
Jackie Brown is my least favourite Tarantino movie. I've seen it many times and I've tried to understand why it doesn't work for me like the other Tarantino movies do. I think it's because it's not an original script. Some of the themes in JB are missing in all the others QT movies, like fear of getting old or falling in love. I think JB could have been directed by somebody else, ie De Palma, while the other QT movies could have only been directed by QT. It also seems to me a bit slow in some parts, although I understand Quentin's intention with the slow pacing.
Damn I personally find Jackie brown one of his best. Probably his most believable portrayal of emotions and characters.
I think it's one of best too
Amazing movie. He is so many steps ahead of these critics, i almost feel embarrassed for them.
The criticism that "a film is too long," without any explication, is pointless.
Film so underrated
Listen to these shills trying to tear Jakie Brown down. It's masterful, and Quentin has two amazing movies, the other one being Django. He's a brilliantly, thoughtful director, and he gives forgotten actors and actresses a chance, they always step up for him (cast me as a bad guy, so called failed actor as I am). I'd love to be in a Quentin movie.
Cinema critics 🤦
He’s right on the money!!! I cant stand the fast food delivery of movies.
Is that Pauline Kale??
Janet Maslin.
Question the taste and sanity of a person who doesn't like Jackie Brown.
I think Jackie Brown is one of Tarantino's best movies! (Not just because of the hats)
Definitely didn't run long enough for Beaumont.
What is the name of the female critic from the video?
Janet Maslin
Thank you@@Vanilla_Skynet
that’s all she wants to talk about? weird
I don’t wanna know, be atound be affiliated with or even talk to anyone who sits down watches Jackie Brown I mean actually pay attention to it and watch it and don’t like it. Nah get away from me
Non sopporta le critiche of course
Jackie Brown was the best of the best.
Typical critic. Too much of a scared wimp to say it to the face of the person who’s actually making something of value. All talk no bite. This shows that her reviews come from a place of resentment. Any adult would be glad to discuss their thoughts on a movie by a great director whether they liked it or not
It's amazing to watch QT cut these critics down. They don't deserve to sit at the table with him.
jackie brown is FUN.
Anche Quentin Tarantino fa grossi errori....mi spiace ma 381 milioni non sono valsi la pena per quello che hai fatto, Quentin Tarantino.sei molto manipolato 😮😮😮😮😮😮
The film's problem is not its length. The film is overall dull. The music, the clothes, the casting and some of the dialog give the film a sparkle. But the story and pacing are uninteresting. The love story works but when we spend time with Samuel Jackson's character it lags. I think it's his worst film. I read the novel recently and it was better than the movie. I love the casting of Robert Forrester.
He is over-rated. All he did was take old stories and add current vernacular. That's almost all he did. Mann, both Scotts, FIncher and Villeneuve are all better directors. Fans can say he wrote and directed, and that's true, but there are better writers and better directors and we can see it with True Romance, Jackie Brown and Natural Born Killers. After Pulp Fiction, the more control he has, the worse the movie. Look at The Hateful Eight as an example. It's boring contrived dross, wasting superstars when they could have been in a good film. The German one and Django Unchained are slightly better but they're never going to be in anyone's top 100. He made two good movies a long time ago, and became the darling of the new wave or whatever, but can't reach in talent the position he gained through other means.
With all due respect, you only named like five other actors, which still makes him better than the vast majority of other directors. 😅 I also think he's overrated, but at least he has a certain amount of artistic integrity, unlike the hacks that pass for big budget directors these days. With him at least you know you're getting some sort of artistic vision that you can agree or disagree with. Whether or not it's worth slapping down $20 to see it at the theater is a different matter.
😂 it's like telling that picasso or Mozart were overrated. However it's always fun to read superficial comments like this. They remind me to be thankful to these simple people, because in a world of them I look smart and make good money. Thank you brother, please keep spending your life in endless tv shows, movies and franchising with same formulas as narratives, created by algorithms 😘
@@unsenso Oh dear, you are actually comparing a film director to classical geniuses.
@@demonmonsterdave "classical" genius ... which means? 😂 Brother let me tell you something, I'm not going to waist anymore time with you, I already explained you why. This "classical genius" answer it's exactly what I was talking about on why I'm so thankful to life. Good luck formulating intelligent thoughts with that 200 words vocabulary.
No one of them are better directors than Quentin and you know it. Tarantino is superior to all of them in almost any aspect of film making.
Personally I think Jackie Brown is so overrated...it's not a bad film, it's just not terrific...
completely disagree, its completely underrated. Its not talked about as much as his other movies.
@@cashclay216 .....ummmm because it's not as good? Perhaps ....
@@foreignwarren7361 In your opinion, it also doesn't have the flash a lot of Tarantino's movies have, but in terms of the story, the characters the cinematography/score, its just as good. How the fuck could it be overrated if not many people talk about it?
@@cashclay216 It was a big release, everybody knows about it...its not your little secret. But I hate QT "Fans" saying its his best movie when it absolutely isnt, not even close.
@@foreignwarren7361 I personally don't think its his best, but when you hear people talk about Tarantino, Jackie Brown is often over-looked, it doesn't have the hype of Pulp Fiction or the flash of kill bill, but its certainly a super solid movie. If the majority of people don't mention it often when talking about his best movies, then it can't be overrated can it? I know a lot of people that haven't even seen it and they've seen most of Tarantinos movies, more so the newer movie fans, the OG will have seen Jackie Brown, a lot of the younger generation or the people just getting into his movies haven't, Therefor I'd consider it underrated.
Jackie Brown sucks. And this great ending he's talking about? Ordell walks into a dark room, and gets shot. Wow, brilliant ending there, genius. The whole point was to arrest him, it was a sting, but no, if Ordell gets arrested he rats out Jackie, so he gets shot in this totally ridiculous harebrained way... actually, they wouldn't have even let him inside the building, they would have arrested him outside, in the sidewalk instantly. It's a long movie, it's boring, its all talk, like he's never heard of the concept of "Show, don't tell." Terrible film. People that like it are just Tarantino fanboys. But hey, Kevin Smith is the worst filmmaker of all time, and yet he still has a massive fanbase. Just like Tarantino.
Better than inglorious bastards..that was crap...oooh let's kill Hitler! That would be cool! Says the 12 year old boy...
I just watched this movie for the first time and I can agree with your first half but not everything else. And I do consider myself a QT fanboy. I just need to see Death Proof and Once Upon A Time.
if you think Jackie Brown sucks, you shouldn't even be able to watch a movie like JB....you should be relegated to children's fare

It was a disappointing follow up to Pull Fiction,the guy sometimes has naritive problems,motor mouth,the Uwel Boll fight was more interesting
