I finally saw Natural Born Killers. I rented it because I am a Q fan, and he wrote the script. My opinion: It's a totally depraved film. It's not necessarily good in any respect, just depraved. I realize that that is, to some extent, the reaction Stone was hoping to elicit. My younger brother told me he read that Stone screwed up the film, so one has to wonder what Tarantino would have done with it. I mean, people claim Tarantino films are violent, but their level of violence is tame in comparison to this gratuitous violence. What are your thoughts?

I think it is over-rated. Not very memorable. One big "meh".

i wrote a termpaper on it in college (got an a for it).
it's a pretty decent movie, very fitting for the early 1990's cultural context.

I liked it and I'm glad Stone directed it. Terentino celebrates violence as if it were a cool thing.
