Noted UK film critic Mark Kermode has said that it is Tarantino's best film and everything he has done has been at least disappointing, for proof go to youtube and watch his review of Death Proof.

Actually, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown are the only Tarantino directed films that I've seen. I've never had any interest in seeing any of his other films. Of the three, Jackie Brown is the one that I can constantly revisit and always enjoy. Bridget Fonda might be the best thing in it. I've never been a fan of Tony Scott, but I feel that he did a very decent job of directing True Romance. I've often wondered how different it might have been, had Tarantino directed it.

I have to strongly disagree with OP. I don't think you can really rate any of QTs movies as weakest or strongest because they're all so genius. Even his weakest movie is better than most of the crap out there.
JB was really great, it was simple and real, everyone gave great performances I can't think of anything bad to say about it.
People really are programmed to want all this crazy action and shooting all the time with absolutely no set up or dialogue and it gets so repetitive.
You always get great context and dialogue and so much quality from every one of QT movies. JB is fantastic, who else could pull of a project like this with Pam Grier and make it a classic. -

Also a huge Tarantino fan and this is my favorite film of his. Watched all of his film many times (except Hateful 8, only seen in 70mm so far) but this is a desert island movie for me. I've watched and can watch over and over and over again.
Consider watching this on again. -

I'm a fan of Tarantino, and I've seen each of his movies more than once each, but I've never had a desire to see this one again. I was just bored the entire movie. It's got all the Tarantinoisms, but it's justmeh.
totally agree -

This is pretty much how I feel about Kill Bill 2 followed by Inglorious Basterds. I've only seen them once back when they came out, so I should probably watch them again.

One of my all-time favorite movie and Quentin's best by a mile.
I understand
that
people don't like ita lot of people, in factbut I'll never understand
why
. I've never heard a convincing argument. Even the OP here has said the movie is "justmeh."
Anyway, I think it's a fantastic film. Best performances of Grier's, Forster's and Jackson's career. Why there were no actor Oscars flying around for that film, I'll never understand. De Niro's take on Louis Gara was another dynamite performance. It was the first time I remember De Niro playing someone who wasn't a badass. He was a total dufus in this movie, which you never see coming from an actor like him. And though the role was small, I thought this was one of Michael Keaton's better performances too. Tarantino really got some good stuff out of his actors with this one.
It's a great nod to blaxplotation cinema of yesteryear, which, personally, I LOVE. I saw Coffy and Friday Foster and Shaft and Foxy Brown. I got what Quentin was trying to do. I dug the vibe. I nearly fell over when I realized that Sid Haig was the judge.
Anyway, great movie on multiple levels, and easily the best soundtrack in movie history.

Bottom line this movie cursed because it followed the phenomenon which was "Pulp Fiction". It's personally one of my favorite QT joints. I think it's also the fact that it had more of an urban appeal that turned off a lot of ppl at the time. And it's not over the top violent or gory (only 4 total deaths if I remember correctly).
