a Positive surprise...

Rating: 6/10 (19 October 2003)

I had only few expectations about this film and even those weren't too positive. After first few minutes I knew that this movie was going to be better than I had thought. This movie ,as well as the other Tarantino movies has a great soundtrack which supports the atmosphere in the movie. Despite the great soundtrack, this film didn't feel like a real Tarantino movie. It lacked the feeling Tarantino had in his earlier movies. In some scenes the camera usage was lazy and uninventive. The dialogue in the movie remind me more of the matrix: reloaded (which I thought was really pretentious) than the pulp fiction. It seems to me that Tarantino has adopted too much from hollywood action movies. Not much but enough. This movie had some great action-scenes and I liked it, when the movie bounced between the lines of tastelesness and humour.
Kill Bill vol.1 is going to be very enjoyable to watch if youforget about the fact that its actually a Tarantino movie. This movie had unique style but lacked the feeling. 4,5 or 6 / 10
