It's supposed to be outlandish

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2003)

There has been buzz on the forums at Kill Bill about how ridiculous and stupid it is; that's the point. Tarantino is not making a realistic movie by any standards. The blood sprays like in old samurai cinema, the dialogue is simple because of the focus on dramatic elements, and there is some sense of humour to remind you of how much fun these movies are. Also, Tarantino adds a feeling of two boys with action figures making up a movie, because as he has stated in the interview on the Pulp Fiction SEDVD, he did that when he was little. Overall, the movie is for Tarantino fans which is a strength and a weakness; however, it is primarily a strength to show he is making movies he loves in order to share his vision with moviegoers at risk of losing box-office bucks. If you want an action-packed, realistically violent movie, see Braveheart or Blackhawk Down. For something off-kilter and artsy, see Kill Bill. I cannot recommend it enough!
