full of cliche; bad imitation of HK martial art films.

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2003)

I liked the other Tarantino films, but was greatly disappointed by this lastest work of his. This film is full of movie cliches, cheesy dialogues, and, at times, bad music -- esp. towards the end. The fighting scenes are bad imitations of HK martial art movies. Watching it feels like eating Americanized Chinese food, and the result is similar -- this film might appeal to a majority of the American audience, but not anyone with taste. Just compare it to any Jackie Chan classics. The only bright spot is the animation. Nice try, Tarantino, and to his credit his unique style still shows. But not a good film.
