For my own part, I'm a fan of Tarantino, and enjoy all of the films I've seen---Pulp Fiction is my favourite, and I think in time it will be viewed as a classic---although I didn't see his half of that drive-in double-feature deal with Robert Rodriguez, because neither one interested me, striking me at the time as one pastiche too far...
And I do think his dialogue is one of his strong suits, although---like many successful artists---he tends to overindulge himself on occasion. At his best, though, the words 'dance around' the subject at hand, completely ignoring the thread of the plot, and revealing things about the characters that enrich the film for me. To compare dialogue from one film era to another, IMHO, is like comparing a Kandinsky to a Rockwell: many regular readers of the Saturday Evening Post, from years gone by, might not give the magnificent and startling Painting with Green Center a second glance...
Tarantino will get my ticket money for Inglourious Basterds (sic?
), because I like the genre/milieu, and I'm curious, because---like one half of Siegfried and Roy---if you play with tigers long enough, you're going to get bitten, and I'm dying to see if it's Quentin's turn to get mauled 
But no...he shouldn't do Bond, and that works out, because Eon will never hire him
