Violence.

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2014)

Tarantino often reluctantly muses on how violence can be enjoyable in cinema and I don't disagree with him. This film is only improved by its dialogue because the real film experience lies within the well choreographed and exciting fights, battles and scraps that are occasionally broken up with scenes of plot. Of course, the plot itself stands its own ground and doesn't detract from the powerful and exciting sword play. Not Tarantino's best work but certainly not his work, this is enjoyable and not at all childish. Tarantino shows his diversity from his other heavily plot driven titles such as Reservoir Dogs.
I think an 8 out of 10 is fair.
