Absolutely great!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2003)

This film is so much fun! There are so many different, sometimes subtle, sometimes obscure, but always unique places this film brings us. Just like you heard, this film is an homage to the best revenge themed films ever made. Outside of the sublime screenplay - just looking at the settings is a trip down memory lane.
Of course, movie critics never had the patience for Tarantino. Apparently, the entire country has contracted ADD or something and the idea of a 3 1/2 hour movie is frightening to them. Well, if you like short movies, I am sure that "Gigli II" will be out soon.
My biggest complaint of this film is directed solely at the soulless minions of evil running the MPAA and Miramax. WTF? When can an "R" rated movie just be for adults and contain whatever the director wanted? Why does some censorship squad get final say over someone else's artistic vision? And why are films that have no sexual content whatsoever being picked apart? Why? Because some stupid impressionable idiot somewhere might emulate what they see on the screen? Because some sheriff in Hayseed Alabama might get offended?
The rating system needs to go. If you like a director, producer, actor or screenplay, go see that movie. If you get offended, leave. There are plenty of PG and PG-13 films that completely inappropriate for young children, and some R rated films that children should see - but because some censorship Nazi believes his value system is more important than yours, too bad. Of course, why would the studios complain? They can sell the original mangled copy, and then pimp the "Director's Cut". Which is what the theatrical release should have been anyway - that's what you pay the director for.
