Rightfully so. Bruce was 50x better looking and more charismatic and didn't do this screeching/yelling as much. Paved the way for guys like Jackie Chan who was among his stunt doubles, and Jet Li..... They did try though. With little Brandon. Friggin Hippies though!
I’m trying to imagine a frame of mind where that scene is pointless, and the only thing I can think of is that you don’t quite remember or understand the Sharon Tate murders, and what it meant to Americans at the time. My stomach was churning with the deepest dread and sadness even, when the Manson Family walked up those Hollywood Hills. And the wonderful scene with Margot seeing her own movie pulled the love and personality of Sharon right off the celluloid. In combination with the friendship of Dalton and Booth, I found the ending to be fantastically done.
Walked out of the movie 45 mins in, just now...I figured it would probably get better, but damn, just boring. Pretty disappointed.
was this movie supposed to be about sharon tate? your whole post sounds like you'd just eat up any kind of poo that tarantino shoved down your throat.
I went and saw it again and loved it. I was sitting at work last week bored and decided to drive down to the theatre and drink beers and watch it with the secretary. She thought it started slow but ended up really enjoying it.
Joking? That's like saying Will Smith was a good portrayal of Ali. NOBODY can play those two mother****ers!!!
Went and saw it Saturday night, I thought Leo and Brad were good and Margot was awesome. I walked out kind of going, what was the story really about (I get the Manson family tie in), the ending was pretty good, maybe I built the movie up and expected more. For a QT movie, I give it a 6/10
At least Will Smith did a more positive thing on the portrayal, Bruce was mocked, yeah, he could be cocky but Spoiler him saying all those things about Cassius Clay (Ali) can't really be correct, or him challenging a jobless stunt double for nothing......can't envision that. Spoiler Never mind that he wouldn't have let that dude grab him that easily and throw him into that car. I thought the actor did well, just wasn't the most perfect double. And it's on Tarantino for ridiculing Lee's battle cry and the way that actor talked, it was incoherent. In acting, less copying is more.
2 hours were pretty plain for a Tarantino flick......I give you that. Also scenes of parties and actors go to the theater to watch their own scenes........not that thrilling.
That’s less then 30% of the movie, don’t you think it’s worth waiting a little longer? Are you including the preview time too? The ending is definitely what made the movie for me.
Are people seriously nitpicking the accuracy of the Bruce Lee impersonation in a movie in which the Manson Family doesn't complete its mission, three of them die, and one of them is set on fire with a flamethrower?
