slow, overrated

Rating: 5/10 (29 April 2006)

too slow and pretentious. there are some awesome scenes--the training scenes, the trailer fight, anytime uma drives a car, and when she busts out of the grave. but the ending was weak. i don't care about all the hip insight quentin has about superman or whatever else he had carradine talk about for the last 30 or 45 minutes that that scene dragged on for. these hip pop culture speeches are out of date--they were cool ten years ago. i just wanted to see a f***ing no holds bars brain splitting sword fight on the beach under the moonlight. that would have redeemed the whole series to a 10 level. quentin needs to quit f***ing his ego and just make a straight up, unpretentious kick arse movie like good, bad, ugly. and pop culture has been skullf***ing him for so long that its time to look for something new.
