The Emperor's New Clothes

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2004)

The more films Tarantino makes, the more obvious the truth is...while he undeniably has style, there's just no substance. "The Bride seeks revenge"...well, that's it. And knowing from the off that she had already killed O-Ren made the subsequent hour an exercise in tedium and there's only so much ludicrous cartoon violence instead of story one can take without just falling asleep. It's all been done before.
And not having seen the second part and frankly, after this, without even a shred of curiosity to do so, I imagine the plot synopsis to that will be "The Bride gets her Revenge". This film was just plain BORING, the only good thing about it was that at least Tarantino stayed BEHIND the camera.
