Much should have been cut out.

Rating: 5/10 (27 April 2004)

Not as good as Volume 1
Much should have been cut out. Not much could have been or should have cut from VOLUME 1, but I think this half was left uncut to make a second film possible. Tarantino is known for his elimination of the unnecessary, and he always gets right to the point, quite poetically, but this is unlike his style. It's Tarantino plus waste product. I was disappointed because I wanted the scenes to move, and they didn't quite do that crisply. "Art is the elimination of the unnecessary." I dozed-off at one point. I enjoyed the other scenes that were true Tarantino. Not a bad film, but one that SHOULD have been better. I wish the studio heads would leave him alone! If they had left him alone, he may have on his own cut it down to one 2 1/2 hour film that was lean.
