Let me put it this way, how much needless cursing, blood, gore and violence in the movie because he can’t figure out how to tell a good story and must rely on shock value?
If the answer is You think it’s the perfect amount or in any way excessive I will not like it. Lol.
THere wasn't much of any of that tbh. The movie is typical Tarantino. If yo like his films you'll like the movie. It's starts off really slow and the end is just spectacular. There wasn't much foul language from what I recall but there is some.

literally only 2.5 minutes worth in only one scene
Can't help but feel slightly let down coming off of his red-hot streak of Basterds, Django, and (arguably) Hateful 8. I think this was a bit weaker than those, and was lower-tier Tarantino, but that's not a total knock. Very good but not quite great

BOY did that final scene deliver. Tarantino has played with long, drawn-out scenes of tension plenty of times before but this was almost an entire movie of that in a way. I guess you could say his revisionist/wish fulfillment history trope is starting to get a BIT played out but I think he played it out differently enough from Basterds/Django that it worked well enough here
Tom Cruise was originally in talks to play Cliff Booth and as great as Pitt was (as is typical), I think I would've liked to see Cruise play that part even more
That scene with Dalton and the little girl talking might've been my fav of the whole movie?? That was amazing, she was so good
Another great scene: that super tense scene where Cliff looks for George in the hippie ranch. I was basically burying my head in my hands that whole scene, I thought Cliff was gonna bite it for sure. That scene ended up being a microcosm of the whole movie in a way
Definitely a great MOOD piece and you could feel Tarantino's love for that setting/time period the whole time. I'm sure Vern's gonna love this one
It's very clunky, a bit repetitive and very slow, but the more I think about it, the more I really enjoyed it.
I agree with a lot of what Boc said, except that I thought Brad Pitt was absolutely fantastic. He was the perfect mix of melancholy charm to counter Leo's emotionally unstable persona. I thought they were perfect together.
I don't think this is one of my favorite's but it's definitely one of my favorite Tarantino endings. As the build-up to the Murders kept approaching, I couldn't help but remember how Tarantino completely massacred Hitler, so I was expecting things to go a little differently. I thought the whole encounter was amazing. I totally lost it when Leo came out with the flamethrower. I also died at the thumbs up Hirsch gave Leo with Tate invited him inside. So fucking funny.
I loved the Cliff ranch scene. I also thought they were gonna kill him. Dakota Fanning was great.
Felt bad for BRUCE LEE though. JEEZ! They made him look like such an asshole. I get that they had to establish Cliff as a professional fighter, but damn. Poor Brucey.
forgot to mention how great the soundtrack was, even though that's almost a given with QT's movies. Bring a Little Lovin and especially Out of Time were the standouts
such a perfect song choice, especially with it

seemingly building to Tate's demise with this scene. Gave the perfect amount of melancholy without seeming overly foreboding
