Stylish, but absurdly gory

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2003)

In Kill Bill, Tarantino has ditched the complex plotting and diverse
characters of Pulp Fiction in favour of production value: this is all
about sets, costumes, choreography, music, style and gore. And
for the large part, it works very well: Uma Thurman is excellent as
The Bride, the soundtrack is a piece of genius in itself and the 110
minutes fly by. The oceans of blood are OTT and this story does
not require Tarantino's traditional back-and-forth time-jumping as
it adds little depth, but overall this is good stuff.
