Tarantino rips off someone new

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2006)

I don't know why people think Quentin Tarantino is good when all he does is rip off other people. Everything in Kill Bill 1 and 2 came from Hong Kong cinema, including Uma Thurman's track suit and shoes. The closest he ever came to an original movie was Jackie Brown-at least in that case he was making a movie from a book rather than copying someone else's work shot-for-shot and passing it off as his own. I used to like his work and thought Pulp Fiction was one of the best movies I'd seen when I saw it. Ironically I was going to school in England when it came out, back when Hong Kong was owned by the Brits. It was pretty weird to walk out of a theater thinking I'd just seen something great only to hear people in front of rattling off the movies that; the Walken scene came from, Bruce Willis character, and the whole Eric Stoltz/Uma Thurman/John Travolta storyline. Plagiarism like his doesn't deserve to be rewarded.
