Did I miss something or...

Rating: 2/10 (12 October 2003)

was this just a stupid martial arts flick? Isn't QT supposed to make, i don't know, IMPORTANT movies that have, say, interesting characters and witty dialogue? While I admired the style of the movie, and the fight scenes were great, I really didn't sense a great deal of originality in it.

To any people that are leaning on the fence on this one, I say, don't go. I know the professional reviewers are saying it is great but, and I will always maintain this, had this film not been "Quentin Tarantino's 4th movie" it would be passed by as just another kung fu flick. There is nothing memorable here; picture the Matrix without a story.
If you love martial arts movies (which are not my forte), than I assume you will like this movie. However, if you are looking for a movie that will make you think, skip this one.
