Just Awful!

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2006)

I was BORED TO TEARS watching this movie. The entire movie felt like watching The Architect's speech from Matrix Reloaded on repeat. I left seriously let down, as did many of the people I talked to after the movie was over while we were walking out of the theater. I walked into the movie theater, sat down in the front, and slunk all the way back in my chair and got ready to watch the movie. Only one scene in the whole movie made me sit up. One section of the movie looked, felt, and sounded like it was ripped DIRECTLY from the pages of an old, terrible Kung-Fu movie. Complete with an old super powerful fool who hates Americans, women, and blondes (yet agrees to train The Bride, who is all three), has an obscene infatuation with stroking his 5 foot beard, and can do the same 'jump and balance myself on the sword on one foot' trick that Chow-Yun Fat did in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. That sequence was terribly boring, much like the rest of the film.
