He wears his influences on his sleeve for sure but to call anything he does a plain rip-off seems a bit unjust to me. I don't dislike anything he's directed at all and, if anything, just wish he would direct more regularly.
Oh, and Gojirosan, regarding Natural Born Killers Tarantino has said that Stone amended his original script so much that he doesn't really feel he had much to do with it. Watching the film it's quite clear all of the choices are that of the director and not the scriptwriter I think, and I don't even think Tarantino watched the full film out of disgust.
