Am I missing something here?

Rating: 3/10 (19 April 2005)

I understand, from general movie scuttlebutt, that Tarantino never went to film school, but rather learned everything he thinks he needs to know about making movies from watching movies while working as a clerk in a video rental store. I was reminded of this, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, as I watched the first hour of KILL BILL VOL. I. It was like uber deja vu - every single scene in this movie looked like another scene from another movie.
You know those small-time bands that turn their wanna-be mania into a career and pretend to be other, popular bands, calling their acts "tributes?" I think something like that is going on with The Q Man. He rocked with PULP FICTION - no doubt about that - but seems to have used up all the original thoughts he ever had about movie-making and can now only "pay tribute" to other directors. In other words, copy them.
I found this movie unbearably boring. I'd rented both volumes from NetFlix, and if I'd wanted to WATCH a Jackie Chan movie, I would have ORDERED a Jackie Chan movie. I watched the first hour of the first one and then sent them both back. Yecch. A waste of time and money.
