I don;t think you should be linking one film with others in this manner. Roger Ebert gave the Kill Bill Films 4 stars each and Team America 1 star.I loved Pulp Fiction and it's housed in my top ten of all time Reservoir Doigs on the other hand with a similar style and beat I don't recommend - even though there is a huge fan base I've tried Dogs several times.
Tarantino is walking a fine line with his movies and they can be taken a number of ways.
I remember the film "Life Is Beautiful" had bipolar reaction to the line it was walking with humour and the holocaust. I felt the line was not crossed and it worked resoundingly well - others were quite miffed by it's blend of comedy romance and the holocaust. I suppose it's that there is a growing film snobbery that art should only immitate horror and general downer stories. It seems to permeate several artistic fields - artistry, music, writing, poetry. If it's depressing = mastepiece, if it is hopeful or happy or has any sentiment in it whatsoever it's manipulative drivel.
So of course the Title "Life is Beuatiful" is already in trouble before the first frame. Tarantino is about style but moreso about dialog and scenes of montages that hold some sort of story together. You either buy into that sense that he puts on the screen or you don't - I accept the worlds he creates much of the time - they;re a lot of fun (oops films are not suppose to be fun either if they're going to be considered high art) no we need the boring Citizen Kane all show no heart movie making or the howlingly laughable dialog in Casablanca. Too few are honest enough and have not been brainwashed by the film courses they took at University.
