QT isn't immune: A self-indulgent disaster...

Rating: 1/10 (18 October 2003)

Against the advice of a couple people I generally trust, I saw Kill Bill this evening. I thought it was a disaster. I didn't find it hip, funny, cool, or anything remotely related. I've seen and mostly enjoyed QT's other films, so I can't begin to describe how disappointed I was--this is self-indulgent, overhyped crap, with no redeeming features.
As a friend said, "Despite what you may have read, it's not a tribute to kung fu movies, it's not clever, hip or slick - it's tedious, pointless and empty drivel." I unfortunately could not agree more. As Denis Leary's character says in "Wag the Dog" after seeing a reelect the President commercial, I feel insulted just having seen it.
