As Time Goes on, I Dislike it More and More...

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2007)

I just felt to write this critic as being a true follower of Tarantino that I believe needs to be expanded. His work in "KillBill" is somewhat intense and entertaining, but as time goes I can't help finding weak spots on "KillBill". I think people are trying to find a reason to admire it. Quentin is a movie lover, and this movie is his ultimate homage to his movie library of favorites. Yet I found somehow deviated of what his sense of homage is. ¿Is his tribute to Old Westerns Spaghettis and Oriental Films just a pastiche of unnecessary blood, mistaken for art, and his intended "cool" characters lose flame as they blade swords into rambling, yet somehow interesting fights? ¿Have we granted permission to Quentin to do as he pleases with the camera? The Power we gave to Quentin led him to believe he could enjoy the Midas Touch. His handling on the filmical elements are wonderful, yet the movie lacks a message and a clear concept more than a mixed tribute. His passion overwhelmed him and audience accepts it as a work of art by a master mind. I'll grant you the latter. KillBill is pretty harmless, mostly meaningless, but altogether a load of splattered-arms and head chopping fun.
