Oh, I'm gonna go see it. It's Tarantino, of course I'm gonna see it. Plus, he made Bruce Lee one of the characters. Film's gonna take another three weeks to be released in Germany, though, so I'll have to wait
Now, not having seen the movie yet, so theoretically it might very well be a misogynistic shitshow, but I honestly don't think it's like that. It may have to do with the historical setting, as the late 60s were the time of sexual revolution, when certainly in the entertainment industry women were all about being sexually attractive and daring. Maybe some people were hoping for a kind of revisionist revenge fantasy like "Inglorious Basterds" and "Django Unchained", where Sharon Tate would kick the shit out of Charles Manson, and if it's not that, then the movie failed in their eyes.
But Tarantino already made his female revenge fantasy movie more than fifteen years ago, it was called "Kill Bill". He did it again a few years later with "Death Proof". He's done that, so I can see why he wouldn't want to just do that again.
He also made "Jackie Brown", more than twenty years ago. So I wouldn't say his movies have nothing to do with empowering women.
He also never quite fit the times. He may have started a trend of "cool" gangster movies in the 1990s after "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", but he always did his own thing, not much caring about current trends in the business, and he always found his audience.
And, finally, even if there really was "no room for QT in a post me too movement", he already announced that he'd do one more movie and then retire.
