perhaps by you, but not by critics and many afficionati.
Tarantino's last two very popular films confirm it's a bit early to break out the shovels, as well.
Pulp Fiction was revolutionary, as was Reservoir Dogs: both propelled film noir into new areas. Jackie Brown refined, w/out great innovation, the genre.
KB 1&2 are great fun, as well as "killing" the Asian martial arts genre, much as the Pistols did rock music.
Sure, Tarantino may, if he doesn't expand his horizons, be historically a one-trick pony, but, to a large extent, so were Bergman and Fellini---and Sam Peckinpah.
