Watching the movies that Kill Bill is DERIVED from should be a PREREQUISITE to watching Kill Bill.

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2004)

Seems like most of the people that hate this movie are also the same people that HAVE NOT watched/enjoyed the movies that Kill Bill got it's inspiration from.
I've been reading a lot of the opinions on IMDB, and the complaints about Kill Bill (excessive blood spurting, anime scene, etc.) sound like they are coming from people that don't normally watch old school kung fu movies, samurai movies, yakuza movies, anime, etc.

Pulp Fiction didn't require prior knowledge of scenes from other movies to be appreciated.
But Kill Bill on the other hand DOES require that prior knowledge of the movies that it is derived from (and I DON'T mean just knowing of the existence of those older movies, but actually watching the movies COMPLETELY), before you could truly appreciate and make a FAIR judgement of Kill Bill.
Watching the movies that Kill Bill is DERIVED from should be a PREREQUISITE to watching Kill Bill.
