Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (14 April 2004)

I don't like Quentin Tarantino or his movies. I think he is an egotistical, obnoxious jerk and his films reflect his personality. Kill Bill Vol. l is no exception. A few of the action scenes are good and Uma Thurman is excellent as the Bride, but the movie just doesn't work. For one thing, I saw no need to split Kill Bill in half. I think Vol.1 could have been cut by 15 minutes because of one pointless scene after another. Do we need to know so much about Lucy Liu's character? No and we don't care about her character. Tarantino seems inspired by movies that only he has seen and rips off far superior Bruce Lee films. I think everybody should give Quentin Tarantino a message that Pulp Fiction was ten years ago and his 15 minutes of fame are over with. Skip Kill Bill Vol.2 and no Vol. 3 for us. 5/10 and I am being generous.
