terrible! very over rated

Rating: 2/10 (13 July 2005)

How did this make it into the top 250 list on the IMDb. It was a very disappointing film, and this comes from a Tarantino fan. Both reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are classics of the highest order and rightfully Tarantino was recognised as a good director for these films. Yet because of the reputation he gained from these two films, anything he makes is branded a classic?
Jackie Brown was OK, not great but entertaining. Kill Bill doesn't even match this. Its just a load of unrealistic cartoon violence, but is branded as excellent because Tarantino himself says it is (cos he gets off on this sort of thing). The plot is terrible compared to his earlier work. To me, Vol 1 is just Tarantino cashing in. The story of the Bride could be told with just Vol.2 as this is where most of the plot lies. Vol 1 is an excuse for all involved just to make more money. Vol.2 isn't much better, but with good performances from Michael Madsen and Daryll Hannah, its at least watchable. I hereby advise you to skip Vol.1 if you still intend to watch vol.2, as you wont miss anything important or remotely entertaining.
