Richie vs Tarantino


Ok, first thing, what the f?ck is up with everyone comparing Ritchie with Tarantino? Both directors are great in their own way, and I honestly can't see any similarities between their films. Yeah, the characters in their films may be a bit 'rough' or whatever, but I think their films are vastly different.

I agree, I like both directors but I didn't think that Ritchie was copying Tarantino, in fact out of all Ritchie and Tarantino films snatch is my favourite! X

I prefer Ritchie over Tarantino mostly because his films are more compact. Tarantino movies feel twice as long then they actually are.

reply

Same here. Tarantino crosses that imaginary cinematic line that goes from a great film one moment to an utterly absurd and ridiculous one the next. Ritchie tends to keep things more grounded and somewhat realistic.

Guy Ritchie movies are more fun. And a hell of a lot less self-indulgent.
