Not all it's cut up to be!

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2003)

Ohhh Quentin's a genius he made a 4 hour 75 million dollar grindhouse movie, that had to be cut into two films to preserve his vision....
NO! what he made is his most stylish film to date with the weakest dialouge I have ever heard him write. This script is such absolute crap its hard to believe they say those lines with straight faces. But NO! you scream it's an homage to 70's Shaw brothers films. He could have written it so much better. Have you seen the Baby cart movies?(lone wolf and cub)The dialouge in these huge Samurai gore fests is far superior to What Quentin tried to do with this. KILL BILL comes off a little confused to me. Is it an Homage? is it a spoof? does it take it self seriously? It's all of the above. I usually rate a movie by the emotions it gets out of me. Did I smile, did I laugh, did I say Wow, Did I cry, The only time I said anything to myself in KILL BILL was "wow look at all that blood-spraying" blood-spraying I might add that had to be in be in black and white so the MPAA wouldnt slap an NC-17 on the film. Clips from this fight scene are in color in the trailers weren't they or am I just crazy. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of Quentins work and I enjoyed this film (kinda) But Sooo many people are calling it genius and his best film to date. All of these people should dust off their copies of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Both of these films are beautifully crafted and wonderfully written. This one is not.
