I LOVED IT!

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2003)

I loved this movie! I really didn't expect to like it as friends had informed me it didn't have much of a plot and there's lots of plot holes (how did she recover so quickly, where did she get money and passports, etc.), but as someone pointed out to me, it's got more than enough style to make up for these things. It looks and sounds beautiful. For those that say it's stupid and ridiculous, they're forgetting THAT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! Granted, the plot is very simple and riddled with plot-holes, but as I said that seems to be the whole point. Tarrantino deliberately filled the movie with plot-holes and mistakes ... or so he claims. This is normally not the type of movie I would like, but I simply LOVED everything about it! A bloody, seductive carnage, and bloody entertaining to boot! Go Q & U!
My favourite parts include the animated sequence with Lucy Liu's character as a young girl, Uma taking on 88 combats in the House of Blue Leaves (easily beats The Matrix Reloaded with Keanu and the 100 Agent Smiths), the tasteful black & white/silhouette scenes that help increase the gore impact, and the samurai holders on the airplane! I can't wait for Volume 2...
