I guess I just don't get it(possible spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2003)

Do you have to be a film student to enjoy this movie? I will be the first to admit that the movie shows exceptional directorial skills. However, The film lacks one thing that I consider crucial for a great movie-plot. Let me get this straight. Uma Thurman's character was shot on her wedding day by "Bill" and presumed dead. However, she survives and goes on a mission to kill those that were involved in her attempted assassination. Now, to me-this sounds like the plot for a B-action flick. I understand that he's paying homage or whatnot, but does that make it a great movie? When I first walked out of the film, I thought it was a spoof. Another element I found extremely lacking that was prevalent in Tarantino's previous films was dialogue. Pulp Fiction is one of the most quotable movies I've ever seen which makes it incredibly cool. The dialogue in Kill Bill is cheesy and overdone (paying homage to old samurai movies again?). There was very little done to make me identify with the main character, and there was absolutely no way I could contain my laughter when the volcano of blood shot out of the recently decapitated body. I am not posting this to offend anyone that enjoyed this movie. I seriously want to know what it was that I missed that makes this movie so awesome.
