Tarantino, Talent or Luck?

Never really thought about. I'm not a huge fan of his movies. He does do a good job in dialogue, set-ups, and timing as newport said..

As an Actor = Sux

Director = Great

Kill Bill Vol.1, and 2 were great

Exactly Lawless.

I don't think theres much luck in his success at all. His direction appeals to a certain audience, not all viewers. The way he does things borders on brilliant.

"Child like violence" is something of a silly term.

His style of direction is unique, with several people attempting to come near to the mark, but falling short. Has there ever been a set of movies  exactly like Kill Bill? No.

If you look at modern horror films, they're all so boring, redundant and predictable. Terrantino's films are vastly different than other directors' work.  

He did more then Kill Bill! Someone should list the movies... I don't know them all, but a few.

I think he has a great style... you can tell it's one of his movies by watching it, without knowing before hand.

I like his humor, and think he is very talented.

Lucky? Luck is when preparedness meets oppertunity, so I would say he is lucky.

A little of both.

Ive watched some of the stuff that people called brilliant and all that in Resivoir Dogs....then the same thing again in Pulp Fiction....then in Jackie Brown (Which BTW, not to sound like one of the people that always say this, but the book > the movie. Elmore Lenord trocks)

As a director I think hes good. He knows how to shoot visiually exciting stuff. He knows how to film well.

Writing on the other hand...ehhh.....The only thing on writing I will say I really liked was True Romance, which was awsome, but of course he didnt direct it, only wrote it...
