Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2003)

I am not the average Tarantino fan. Reservoir Dogs was an excellent film exploring alot of realism, Pulp Fiction was just a good film and there's nothing else I can say about that, Jackie Brown I think is Tarantino's best work with a killer soundtrack until I saw Kill Bill. before entering the cinema to see this latest offering from QT I was expecting an ok film with alot of good action scenes, but what I got was something completely different. the opening scene was quite scary and disturbing with the Bride just laying there battered and bruised and the second the gun shot to her head goes off everyone just jumped out of their seats including me, and from then on in I was expecting something special because the moment Nancy Sinatra started Singing the words to Bang Bang I was hooked and it didn't stop to the very end.
Everyone I have spoken to about the movie have mix feelings, but I can't get it out of my head. I just saw it as a present day Sergio Leone western with a hint of The Swordsmen. You either hate QT or you love him and after watching this I think he is nothing but of pure genius. I mean he has taken all the great concepts of all his favourite films and put them to together to make one, but what is so bad about that. Every film maker is inspired by somebody and they take there heroes ideas and put them into there own films, like Martin Scorsese, Leone and even Spielberg.

Kill Bill does leave you annoyed in a way because like Matrix Reloaded it leaves you wanting more and feeling angry you have to wait 5-6 months to see what happens next, but I actually like that because it gives you time to reflect on the the first volume of the film which I have really enjoyed, but it is hard to to judge Kill Bill because it's not actually a film, it's the first half of a film, but from what I have seen already I shall leave it in my head that what I have seen so far is nothing short of a Masterpiece.
