Yes I know that it's about personal taste but I think it's been mostly the commercial US media that has touted Tarantino as a 'genious' and European media has been quite a lot more critical about him.

I had to skip the first post in the thread because of spoilers but...
Wow, I actually totally agree with you for once, OTH. To add, I think Tarantino is a terrible story-teller. Even one of the only films of his I like,
Reservoir Dogs, was completely about the visceral experience versus the story.
Sure, some people will say that such an experience is good, but the problem comes in when you realize that there are directors that can produce BOTH a story as well as the visceral experience. Tarantino only does will with half of that equation, and that makes him a subpar artist in my eyes.
