worst film of all time

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2003)

This is a very, very bad film. There is a one thread plot (revenge) no character development, in fact no real characters to speak of at all. Uma Thurman for some reason looks like a man in drag for most of the film which does not make the film any more watchable. Michael Madsen is in the film for about 30 seconds, minute maximum which is a pity as he is a great actor. Instead we have ten minutes of irrelevant animation, at least 30 minutes where everybody is speaking Japanese and during a fight scene it goes black and white for about five minutes. You would think that Tarantino was just out of film school to be trying all these amateurish tricks. The editor who cut together the online trailer is a genius because he made it look like a good film, when it is far from it. The music, incidentally is also the worst I have ever heard on any film and was probably the only thing preventing me from falling asleep. The title character, Bill, I only remember seeing his hands - was this to add suspense? All the funny Tarantino dialogue is gone, the style is gone, only the geek is left. I will not be going to see volume 2 - or any future offerings from Tarantino. Avoid.
