Sorry, but I didn't like it...

I didn't like it... Sorry for my rigidity but nevertheless...
This movie is surrealistic. It is not even the movie in the fact but some author's fantasy about... not sure about what. The story that can be represented in one sentence "they almost killed me, now I'll kill 'em all" has been far-fetched just to have a reason to refer to this stuff as a movie rather than some unformed set of video clips. Second volume (as it appears to me) will not bring any answers to any questions. Actually the questions should not be risen here at all. Who cares who the Bill is and why he did what he did... Just check out Uma the brutal fighter!
Technical performance is good. There were a several scenes that probably look doubtful but they can be attributed to grotesque movie style. However I cannot evaluate the style by itself without any base. Yes, this is definitely Tarantino's hand. But there's nothing written with this handwriting. Action... that's fine but what about the plot, intrigue? So I was candidly boring during prolonged bloody slaughter.
That is my humble opinion.
P.S. Moreover I had a strong feeling that it was just a handout from the master who is absolutely certain that it will be accepted by people anyway (due to epidemic japonism passion or any other reason). Perfectly made (the master) but no more than a handout.
P.P.S. Generally there was the only scene that I was impressed with. In the very beginning when the Bride and the Copperhead stop fighting and hide their knives behind the backs while the Copperhead's little daughter is coming in. That was really Tarantino's kind of thing.
