A foray into self-indulge that yields some wild action-sequences but almost no substance.

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2018)

Tarantino's first foray into self-indulgence comes in the form of this hyper-stylized 'kung-fu' homage, the first part of which arrives with almost no substance or character depth of any kind. What you're left with is 'Kill Bill: Vol 1 (2003)', a film that manages to occasionally entertain with some wild action-sequences and pulpy references but often falls flat due to the fact that the thin plot is stretched to fit feature length. The entire movie seemingly exists just so that the extravagant final fight can still exist somewhere, outside of the second part where it simply wouldn't fit. 6/10
