However I saw it again a few years ago and realized the acting is really awful. It could use a re-edit and the performances need to be trimmed. I find this is the case with all his films I've seen so far; his cuts need to be as ruthless as his characters.
Kind of feel the same for Reservoir Dogs. Loved it many years ago, but it doesn't hold up as well for me these days. I think from Pulp Fiction on, he has proven himself and gets increasingly better from film to film. I watched Inglorious Basterds at a late screening when it was released, and the audience I watched it with(very full) Was just digging it. Lots of electricity(Brad Pitt trying to pass as an Italian got huge laughs) and at the end there was a round of applause...I mean Tarantino wasn't even in the theater.
I know what you mean though. My brother loathes his work, and our tastes are very similar.
Tarantino seems to be one of those film makers, either you love him or hate him.

I agree with the love or hate thing. Tarantino is an acquired taste. Pulp Fiction is his masterpiece, which many have tried to copy, in terms of storytelling technique, but few have scratched the surface. His dialogue is beyond reproach, the man is near genius when it comes to that.
Yes, I agree that "Inglorius" could have been edited a bit better, but his set up is usually spot on where the "punchline" or payoff is so poignant - like in Pulp Fiction. He was the first american filmkmaker to tell his story his way - in nonlinear fashion and that he caused the reinvention of cinematic storytelling. Funny, inventive and never boring. I wasn't quite enamored with Jackie Brown. As for his music choices, they usually are inspired. As for him "stealing" - who cares as long as it moves the story along. They underscore and enhanced the visuals on screen - the Jack Rabbit Slim scene in Pulp is among my favs, as is the Bloodbath scene in Kill Bill. And his choices usually get a resurgence of that music in the that industry.
But, he's not for everyone.

New York Times interview, Thurman described how she had been in a serious car accident back in 2003 on the set of Kill Bill, because Tarantino had insisted she perform her own driving stunts.
Quentin Tarantino copies other peoples work so much he comes of as a hack maybe very degenerate, explains "fetish" for women's feet doing weird stuff on set, lacks knowledge very dumb at other times, deeply linked to Harvey Weinstein and Creative Artists Agency Building with CAA Babylon Masonic symbolism from above and in wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations, Tarantino severed ties to The Weinstein Company and Miramax and sought a new distributor after working with Weinstein for his entire career.
David Letterman had interviewed a former "unnamed" girlfriend of Tarantino on his show. Letterman joked about the relationship questioning why a "glorious movie star" would date a "little squirrelly guy". A couple of days later, Tarantino phoned Letterman, screaming angrily, "I'm going to beat you to death! I'm going to kill you! I'm coming to New York, and I'm gonna beat the crap out of you! How can you say that about me?!"
