ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted 

Korey and Martin's friendship is the kind of relationship I strive to have.

As soon as Clint slams Bruce Lee on the stunt coordinators car and makes that huge dent. That's when we know that we're in imaginary world.

How the hell do you not enjoy the last ten mins of this movie? I was roaring.

I actually enjoyed the movie just because that last act comes out of nowhere and I think it truly is a fairy tale as told by Quentin Tarantino. I gave the movie a full price and I didn't even pay for my ticket yesterday

I absolutely LOVED the spaghetti western/Eurocrime movie sequence with the dead on film clips and movie poster art. That was just great.

Martin is Pitt in this movie, to Korey's DiCaprio :)

Martin, Bruce Lee’s English was actually good, he didn’t have a thick accent plus by that time Bruce had already lived in the United States for 9 years

I get your interpretation of the ending violence. But personally, I loved it because it gave dignity to Sharon Tate. We are so used to true crime media that glorifies criminals, and they eat it up. But here QT treats them as a joke, which is satisfying

Tarantino's opinion of this review 'well man I reject your hypothesis.'

There was ONE black Playboy bunny as well.

Man why dont Jackie Brown get the same love his other movies do?

they had black people at the Playboy mansion and bunnies

Jackie Brown will forever be the only serious and grown-up Tarantino movie.

What Manson's lackeys did to Sharon Tate and her friends was over the top. The ending of this movie would've been just what they deserved.

They used Sharon Tate’s actual performance as an homage for a career and life cut short. A simple tip of the hat.

Steve McQueen had hair like that at one point in his career. I thought Lewis looked amazingly like him.

I loved the ending I thought it was a solid payoff for what they were setting up before everything tied in together masterfully in my opinion but I can respect Martin and Korey thoughts as well

This looks like Tarantino's Hail Caesar.

That last ten mins was actually the icing on the cake. And the quote you brought up about not enjoying the film, I completely agree. You can't enjoy the film if you can't accept the director's perception of their own film. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"... is followed by a pose" I'm dead

Tarantino's gone full HAIL CEASAR.

I loved this film. Can’t wait to watch it again!

Most of the scenes with Margot were clearly just to pay respect to Sharon Tate and remind everyone that this was a human being and a great person (and maybe to remind younger people of who she was). It's a nice idea, but these scenes slowed down the story and never really led to anything. You could have cut out that whole bit with her going to the movies, and I think it would have helped the story immensely. Better to leave her appearances at the beginning and end of the movie, unless you're going to feature her in a way that ties into the main (fictional) story better.

Showing the real Sharon Tate to me was good, paid homage. And the ending was awesome.

My favorite films of his are Pulp Fiction (1994) Jackie Brown (1997) and Death Proof (2007)

Saw the movie yesterday and they basically summed up my exact thoughts.

It’s the guys from spill

The last part was the best part of the movie. You guys are buggin.

Pedro Pascal (in Kingsman) looks like a young Burt Reynolds, lmao

"Stay toe--" Well done, whoever edited this!

I feel like you guys said the same exact thing about the Hateful Eight ending, I am now finally catching on that Tarantino endings are just over the top and bloody for now on

BEST Quentin Tarantino impression: 18:30

Spoiler.... They kinda just skimmed over Cliff killing his wife.

You guys are high. That was one of the best endings to any movie I’ve seen in a long time!

Because of who it's happening to, I am all for that pivot at the end and that entire scene. I enjoyed it immensely because I was nervous with how QT was going to handle the Manson Family and what really happened.

Going to see this tomorrow. Got my Double Toasted Goodness on deck. Going to sneak in some Jack Daniels too out of respect.

You gentlemen hit the nail. It’s T love affair with the Hollywood actor of the late 60s and the process of acting, the backdrop just happens to be during the Manson crimes and T opinion about how it could have went different. Like a What if plot.

I honestly thought the ending was a hallucinations of high Brad Pitt in the movie, and he was gonna wake up and they had actually got murdered. Nopeeeeeee that's how it actually ended lol.

Strongly disagree with your confusion towards Margot Robbie watching unaltered Sharon Tate in The Wrecking Crew. That was pretty obviously a respectful tribute to Tate there.

All the negative reviews from formal reviewers reminds me of all the negative reviews the Big Lebowski got years ago. Somehow I think when all of the professional reviewers take a step back and watch the film again with fresh eyes they are going to love it. My like Lebowski.

Love Tarantino, but I prefer watching his movies on BluRay, no rush to see it in theaters.

The guy who plays Charles Manson also appears in the Netflix show Mindhunter. Scary he looks even more like Charlie Manson in that.

"Them dudes coming back?" LOL!! That was golden from Martin.

This movie is like 60% red herrings and it's so frustrating.

With there being no black characters, that might have been a good thing since this is a QT film. That means you don't have to hear the N word in the movie.

"And dont forget... you're Korey fuckin Coleman" LMAO

This movie was so chill. I loved it. I saw it on a whim, late, on a Sunday night, in my lightly filled local theater, with nothing to tie me down. I felt Like I was just hanging out in the 60's with two cool bros and a hot blonde. Really felt this movie's energy beginning to end, from the music, to the conversations, through all of Rick Dalton's ups and downs. I truly believe that I saw it the way it was intended to be seen.

I saw this on a plane. I walked out

3rd act was the best part, these guys are nuts

Everything worked but Margot Robbie. Not sure why she was in this

You make good arguments about the ending, but I just couldn’t stop myself from loving it tbh

The theater I was in was laughing so fucking loud at the end, it was a little much but the Leo scene with the crazy bitch in the pool got me. I thought it was a solid movie.

Could you guys plz do a tribute to Rutger Hauer you've gotta have heard of him. He passed away some days ago.

Getting that toasty goodness to continue my good day. Thank you

I found the whole thing very cathartic....especially the last 15 mins. Getting revenge on those fuckers who did those awful things to Sharon and her friends.

He most likely did broke that many bones. I ain't no stuntman and I have broken 9 bones in 7 instances up to my 27 years of life so theres that.

I disagree completely with their review.

Great great review! Love how you guys dont just bow down to everything QT does and I'm a fan of QT but this movie can be summed up in one word : overindulgence

I had an issue with the Bruce Lee segment as the timeline with his appearance (The Green Hornet ran from 1966-1967 vs. the Manson Family Murders in 1969), and also his physical appearance (hairstyle in this film was post Enter The Dragon vs very short hair during The Green Hornet). Finally, even if you have are willing to believe Bruce Lee as egotistical, he didn't deserve the treatment that was portrayed in this film.

7 minutes of standing ovation at Cannes... I never trust film festival reactions. I don't dislike the film but I think most would not consider it Tarantino's best.

When I was watching this film, I kept thinking to myself “there’s a lot of thought here going into something that’s surprisingly thoughtless.” It’s not a bad movie by any means, but as a Tarantino fan I was disappointed to see a film that felt so slow and disjointed with aggressive shout outs to elements and references that fuel Tarantino’s boner. Just an overall meh for me, and that’s a shame because there are great performances and bits in this movie that shine. 👎

I look at it this way; since it was 1968 Hollyweird, any Black character that appeared in the movie would have had some monologue about "A nigga can't get a break in Hollywood...". I can do without that, thank you.

This is gonna be one of those movies with a huge following after rewatch because I feel like people were too into the idea that this film was only going to be about the Manson murders but it truly is for the most part a hang out/ slice of Hollywood life movie that doesnt truly have a narrative but still flows through the lives of these people who represent different parts of Hollywood. The performances are amazing and Pitt absolutely steals the show as Cliff. The literal only issue I had with this movie was that the Bruce Lee scene should have been much longer and I know for a fact that huge Lee fans are going to hate that scene because it depicts a fictional stuntman as an equal to arguably the most influential onscreen and real life martial artist and having him thrown into a car is definitely gonna throw people off but nevertheless, this is a work of fiction and an attempt to mock America's view of Asian Americans in film culture. Mike moh killed it though. Also, the ending 10 minutes seem to be everyone's favorite part but even if it didnt happen, the movie would be great.

Once Upon A Time In DT MERCH

Read the ending for this film via wiki page. I knew off the bat the ending was going to leave a bad taste in once mouth. I don't hate Quentin for going the silly path. However, you're using real people to tell a story. It's not as awful like Bay's Peral Habor, but you'll question Quentin storytelling skills.

You can’t ever be a “has been” if ya got some toasty goodness!

Bruce Lee is the #1 reason why I'm interested in seeing this movie. Glad to hear it did not disappoint.

I think the last scene was great, bc it making fun on the manson family, taking away that power.

With the whole backstory about Cliff (Brad Pitts character) I thought Quentin was going to do a reverse O.J. Simpson moment that everyone is saying that he killed his wife and the way the flashback looked I had a little doubt about it still but until the confrontation with Manson’s followers at the end quickly changed my mind I thought to myself “oh yeah he 100% killed his wife.”

Man, me and my friend knew you guys were gonna be divisive with the ending xD I honestly loved it, but that’s because I loved blood and gore, and not to spoil anything for anybody, but the people who received the violence deserved it massively! It was supremely satisfying.

Last 10 was my favorite part, but I totally get your points about it.

While I still really digged this flick and the ending, I agree more focus on Tate & The Manson Family could've helped suit the film more akin to Django or Basterds.

Mike Moh! He’s Ryu in Street Fighter Assassins Fist!

Dude that plays Charles Manson was brilliant as Dewey Crowe on Justified (also starring Timothy Olyphant and QT alum Walton Goggins.)

I like the last 10 minutes mainly because that's exactly what those Manson members deserved!

What if I’m a has been and have to consider other opportunities like...DT MERCHANDISE!

Steve McQueen actually had a perm, so..... weird complaint

What about that strange cut during the conversation between Leo and Timothy Olyphant? He goes from not wearing a hat to wearing one. It seemed intentional.

I understand where your coming from but I thought the ending was brilliant, you could tell that scene was coming. I didn’t expect it to be as hilarious and it was the perfect way to end it

The ending scene with the dog is the best perk

“I’m as real as a fuckin donut.”

So you guys thought QT wasn’t going to the grind house ???

All of Quentin Torillini's movies take place in a universe where people are more inclined to violence. For example in this movie Rick Dalton is in the movie based on the events of Inglorious Basterds.

Need some friends like Clif

I haven't seen the movie yet as I live overseas and it has been pushed up till August when it will be released. One trait Tarantino has done with music in the past is really create an atmospheric environment. One great example is Reservoir Dogs and Stuck in the middle with you. The seventies ballad takes a really dark turn with the torture scene happening. If you watch his movies music is used not just as background filler but as part of the scene on screen. I worked in Hollywood as an extra so I know a bit about the behind the scenes Hollywood he's raving about in the movie. But Hollywood is also a lonely place where dreams get shattered and if he captures that then I'll give the movie the praise it deserves. Will wait and see.Right now just trying to stay away from spoliers so I can watch it without it being ruined.

I look at Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth as two sides of the same coin, and the same coin being Quentin Tarantino. Rick Dalton represents the comedic timing and acting chops of the mind of Quentin Tarantino who brings the best of people. Brad Pitt represents the mayhem and brutality of the violence Tarantino brings to his characters. Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth are the best Tarantino duo since Jules and Vincent.

Movie was awesome ESPECIALLY the ending. They're tripping.

Hail caesar! Was better in the story momentum regard

Agreed

Pitt and Leo carried the movie and were great..But boy this movie was disappointing

Personally, I can't forget how Tarantino almost got *Uma Thurman* killed in one of his movies =/

If a person watch this movie didn't know the story of Sharon Tate, they'd probably wonder why the hell she was even a part of this movie.

19:00 😂😂😂

Oh man! Glad to agree with you guys on something 100%. Just watched this movie the other day and the whole time i was enjoying it, loving it even, all the way up until that fucking ending. Tarantino just couldn't keep his dick in his pants. Glad he didn't win an oscar for this.

Can't defend the ending, but I still enjoyed it lol!

My favorite Burt Reynolds Hal Needham film was Hooper.

"we don't want Pulp Fiction"...are you serious!?... Every movie should be Pulp Fiction. Lol On that level greatness . Movies would be fun to go to again if that were the case.

Great review.

what Quentin did was make a version of GTA using the setting of 1969 Hollywood. He created this world he is so in loved in and created characters to inhabit this world and function while there is an underlying story playing out with events that occur. All, Rick & Cliff do can be considered side missions while progressing the story until they reach their climax. Is that very much like how GTA plays out in a way? You can spend most GTA games just exploring the world. Even, Quentin's use of the radio and TV plays out similarly like GTA. That is the appeal of this film, it is world Quentin has created which draws you, or, which drew me in.

I really liked this movie and usually I don’t like Tarantino movies because they are over-the-top violent and vulgar but this one I really enjoyed. I love the acting I loved the story it had me engage the whole time now the ending was a little bit over-the-top while it but overall I really enjoyed it.Enjoyed this review just discovered you guys subscribed :-)
