RUBBISH.
You know, The Curmudgeon must be psychic. I'm a big Tarantino fan; loved Pulp Fiction et al (hell, I even sat through Four Rooms with a smile) but somehow I knew, the ol' Spider Sense was tingling.. this was a stinker.
And guess what? I was right. Now, here's what The Curmudgeon wants from a Tarantino movie; excellent performances, layered characters with depth, a crackling, punchy, ultra-quotable script.
Maybe I'm being unfair? But everything Tarantino has delivered so far has had just that. And then this nonsense comes out.
There is not one likeable character in this entire movie. Uma Thurman looks nice, but CANNOT carry a movie, especially on this unconvincing performance. The script is BORING, a basic revenge movie of no worth and, for all it's fancy gimmicks (ooh, an Anime segment, how post-modern) little class.
I know this was raved about when it first came out, but that was just hype. If Kill Bill didn't have Tarantino's name blazened across the top, this movie would sink without trace.
Trust me, when the sheep stop bleating about how good this movie is, someone somewhere will go, "hey.. you know? It wasn't that good was it?" and everyone will agree with THIS review. Cool huh?
