IT'S A SHAME I CAN'T GO LOWER THAN 1 STAR Ok, Quentin Tarantino has made some decent and blood infested movies in the past that actually passed off as good movie watching (not in my eyes-but in the Tarantino-ites' eyes). However this was actually the first Tarantino film I sat through and believe me it will be the last. I was told that this was a great film with an interesting story and a unique use of music and fighting (I like watching women kick ass). The only thing unique about this movie (and like KB vol 2) was "THE END". I was waiting for the story to make sense, the plot to begin and the cheesy, corny and inane stuff to stop. For example: we are not allow to hear Uma Thurman's character's name until the second movie (he actually beeped out her name in the first one-WHY). Then there was the over usage of gore/blood/violence. Apparently Mr Tarantino has a fetish with blood (see all movies done by Tarantino). I don't think, in his career, he could make one movie without using blood. Now, Uma Thurman. She is indeed a beautiful woman. However, a martial artist she is not. She acted very plastic like and had movements like she was programmed to. As Lucy Liu said to her in the movie: "White girl thinks she can fight like a samari" (not verbatim-sorry). As I sat watching this gore infested, so called "great film by many critics", I was wondering "Why the heck am I watching this?" Apparently I was tricked into watching this. All I know is I would not have spent the $$$ to watch it in the theater. I, more than likely, would have walked out. The movie moved like a video game (like Gauntlet Dark Legacy). Each level has a "sub boss" before you can face the ultimate boss (in this case Bill and Lucy Liu, etc). As for the music, I was disgusted with the music. It had no reason/relivance to the story. I was sitting there when the music would blare on and think: "Huh, ok. Why in this spot in the movie?" The music was overbearing and over the top (as is Quentin). I am also wondering why so many critics praise him. Why do so many of them think he is a cinematic genius? The only thing I can think of is that he either bullies them into declaring his movies the greatest since Adam or he buys them off. Well for whatever reason, I am certainly not a fan of Kill Bill vol 1 or 2 nor am I a fan of Mr Tarantino.
