Sure, it's a tad self-indulgent at times, but I loved it. Classic Tarantino. Visually stunning and a fitting homage to the period. Well written characters that are expertly portrayed by actors at the top of their game. I don't get the criticism that he under-used Margot Robbie either. She manages to convey more expression into her smile than most actors do with an entire script.

DiCaprio turns in an excellent performance, with one scene in particular where he's struggling with his demons (and lines) on a film set. But Brad Pitt is the real star of the show, even when his character utterly (and hilariously) disrespects the legacy of Bruce Lee (no sacred cows).

The films sort of lulls you into a sense of false security so that the extreme and brutal violence in the final act comes as a shock. But then you're reminded that nobody does gruesome bloody violence quite like Tarantino. A very satisfying ending sees a fictitious re-writing of Hollywood history that could only have been brought to life by a true fan such as Tarantino himself.

I did enjoy that ending.

I must admit I laughed at him in the last series when he fell off the back of a trailer and injured himself, pure slapstick. The new series is relying heavily on puns and none of them are unpredicable nor unfunny. No slapstick so far, we can but hope for another accident, an electrocution would be good.
