Great Movie...

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2003)

Seriously, I love this movie. Out of Tarentino's other films, I've only seen Pulp Fiction, so I wouldn't go so far as to call myself one of his fans, but this movie looked interesting. I walked out of the film loving it. This movie has everything that I wanted and more. Homages to kung fu movies, anime, a rocking soundtrack...and action beyond belief! I walked out truly loving it!
You can all read about the story in other posts, but I think that it was really well done and I had no problems with it. I thought the actors worked wonderfully in it, I thought that it was stylistically and aesthetically beautiful, and I really had a good time in this flim. Some parts can be pretty brutal, but some are just so over the top that you can't help but laugh at them. The Origin of O-Ren Ishii was sadistic and brutal, but done so wonderfully in the style that Tarentino chose that it couldn't help but be emotional.
Reading over some of these other comments, I notice that the movie is pretty hit and miss with most people. Everyone seems disappointed for some reason, and I just wonder why? So, the story is more linear and less complicated than his other flicks...who cares? Not every movie needs to jump around in time and tell a horribly complicated story. Adding elements from Pulp Fiction and other films into this would have made it less enjoyable, I believe. Films don't have to be overly intelligent and complicated to be good films...get over it.
