a disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2003)

I'm not the wildest fan of Tarantino movies, but I'd definitely
watch Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs anytime. Against this background Kill Bill was a disappointment. I simply don't understand what's with the obsession of putting people fly all the time while fighting. I'm not sure was it Matrix that started this phenomena, but I think we've had enough of that already.
There were funny moments and even supposedly disgusting themes were presented in such a way you noticed laughing along with the crowd. That's a definite plus :-) Kill Bill is kind of violent, but in a humorous way.
The first 15 minutes of the movie kept me waiting for an intriguing plot, but I'd soon understand that I was going to get hack-and-slash for the whole sum of my movie ticket. In fact, there are no particular details of interest to mention - in my opinion the plot was basically empty. That's very sad, since QT's previous movies gave a lot of chewing and made you look the film all over again to get a better grip of things happening on the scene. While Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs would get a 9 out of 10 grade, I'd give Kill Bill a mere 6.
