It's an homage, apparently, but..

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2004)

..is it good?
I'd say it deserves a fair rating. Nothing that would traumatize you too much, but not something you couldn't live without seeing. Like someone else said it seems that Tarantino has a weakness for references to other films, and here it is very apparent; one needn't be that much of a Kurosawa or '70s HK film fan to see the references. If "Bill" didn't have the homage as its skeleton it would've been more interesting. Even Tarantino's own films are referenced here.
And the characters? I found the villains more interesting..Uma Thurman cannot carry a movie on her own, plainly. No charisma. Her character, if anything is straightforward; she's out to kill some people. We never find out exactly why her wedding was hit, though it has to be said that it was by the most impractical group of assasins in movie history, their follies appearing especially at the big fight scene towards the end. I mean, all those well-dressed thugs must've been able to afford an Uzi or something! Swords? In the 21st century? Maybe in the period "Yojimbo" was set in, it would make sense. I don't think anyone without the assistance of speed is talented enough to fight off nearly 100 people with a sword.

Anyway, the villains were a lot cooler than Uma..I actually felt sad when she killed that Oren chick. I mean, she was so cool! and her little entourage, too...they were characters you don't want to mess with, but in some quiet way adore..
Overall production-wise it's very cool and trendy. Storywise; blah. Maybe I'm in a minority but I like stories! "Pulp Fiction" was a good story and it had weird witty dialogue..there wasn't any here, unfortuneately.
