Typical Tarantino

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2003)

It was 'nifty' to see Animé and Japanese Samurai used as the backdrop of this film. At first, the fountain like blood sprays provided the dark-twisted-comical quality that makes Tarantino flicks 'nifty'. However after 3/4 of the movie, it was just over done;losing it's meaning and losing my attention. No matter what, casting Uma Thurman was simply smart. Thurman being one of the coolest cats in Hollywood, has certainly done her job right! Ultimately, it was well worth my time, but it was too much of what I had expected a Tarantino film to be. Maybe I'll be surprised in Vol II?
