Disappointing! Don't believe the hype!!

Rating: 6/10 (18 July 2004)

I'm going to get to the point: Kill Bill is a let down. I heard & read great things about this movie, so I was very disappointed while watching it. The story is nothing special. Lady wants revenge on the people who ruined her life. But, the story isn't the problem. No, the problem with this movie is the same thing that the hype is about; the action! Bottom line: the ACTION SUCKS!! I've seen a lot of action movies (I love japanese samurai & chinese kung fu movies) and Kill Bill is not great! Hell, is barely good! Everything is so exaggerated!! The action gets so bad that its laughable. While watching Kill Bill, I would say to myself, "This is so ridiculous! It's like watching a bad samurai anime!" The best part about the movie was the anime part. That was tight! I could watch that part over and over. I don't know what people see in Kill Bill. Maybe there are millions of people who're just ignorant to the fact that thousands of movies like Kill Bill are out there, that have the same kind of story & action, but do it a hell of a lot better. If you like Kill Bill, then you are in the majority. But, for those out there who have seen lots of martial art movies, Kill Bill is a nice movie to make fun of!! Score: 6/10. Not terrible, just not good neither!
