I'll give it 3 D's: Drawn out, Dreary, Disgusting.

Rating: 2/10 (13 February 2011)

If this film had not been directed by Tarantino, but still would have been the same film, it would have become a C-picture with a rating not above 5.0. What is this supposed to be anyway? Pseudo-intellectual? Pseudo-aesthetic? I don't know. I don't see any beauty or intellectual challenge in this whatsoever. It is an agony to watch a man inspecting a sword for two minutes, which he was supposed to be looking at for a whole month before that. And a soon as the viewer is about to fall asleep, someone's guts are spilled all over the place. I can't imagine brutality that is more pointless and sickening. People who take other people's lives without feeling anything should not be glorified like this. Mr. Tarantino clearly has some serious issues. If only he kept them to himself...
