Most people have high respect for Tarantino and his films. From Reservoir Dogs to Pulp Fiction and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he has made some of the greatest films in Hollywood.

Recently, Tarantino was interviewed on the podcast The Video Archives where he called this era the worst in cinema history, saying that it's on par with the 50s and 80s in terms of terrible movie releases.


“Even though the ‘80s was the time that I probably saw more movies in my life than ever–at least as far as going out to the movies was concerned–I do feel that ‘80s cinema is, along with the ‘50s, the worst era in Hollywood history. Matched only by now, matched only by the current era!”


The acclaimed director has gone on record before saying that the 80s were one of the worst ever, citing political correctness and censorship as taking a toll on creativity in Hollywood. With Marvel and DC dominating the box office, there leaves little room for true directorial giants to spread their creative wings and produce truly inspiring movies. 



Tarantino has stated in the past that he will never put his name on anything with the Marvel label, saying that the franchise takes good directors and puts them in a box, regurgitating the same old formula year after year. Martin Scorsese has done the same, telling the media that Marvel movies are like a theme park ride, attracting cheap thrills.



With nine out of the top ten movies on today's top-grossing films being part of a superhero franchise, it's no wonder Tarantino and others have expressed their distaste for the current cinematic landscape.


Tarantino still has some creativity left, as he continues to direct and produce movies across a broad spectrum of genres and themes. His current project Kill Bill vol 3, which currently doesn't have a release date. He says he will continue to create movies that challenge audiences' perspectives and bring new insight to Hollywood.
