Explosion!

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2003)

BOOOM! Wow, what a ride. I came out of the theatre with a wide grin attached to my face, what a great flick! I don't know much about movies but I know what I like, and this was it. Tarantino mixes styles and surprises in all his moves. The japanese animation part was weird, but cool, the black and white fighting scenes stylish and well done, even the silhouette fighting was awesome. The various transitions and special effects blended neatly in. It was funny, raw, and well cooked, even overcooked but with intention. I loved the B-movie references; spurtin blood, limbs flying, sword fights and super cool yellow Bruce Lee tracksuits.
The east meets the west in a superbly done flick by the now more than cult announced Tarantino. I have no problem joining the hype when I'm served with this kind of moviemaking.
I hope it wont be too long for vol 2 to reach theatres, I'll be waiting in agony.
9/10
