MOVIE REVIEW: Kill Bill Vol. 1
written on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2003

Mr. Tarantino, you disappoint me.

I love your previous works. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are numbers two and three on my favorite movie list.

But the Evangelion-style blood spray just got a little old, OK?

And I don't know what your obsession with Uma Thurman is all about. She has fairly hideous feet, too. Why did you make us look at them for so long? :(

I enjoyed your action sequences. The dialogue and character development were on par with your other movies. The dashboard sunglasses and Pussy Wagon added an extra special Tarantino touch.

However, I enjoy your films because there are several things happening at one time, and it is up to the viewer to piece everything together. So it's not just about the violence. It makes your audience think. Kill Bill Vol. 1 was terribly lacking in plot jumbling. Have you lowered your entertainment bar?

Don't entertain the masses, who love you just for your gore. Entertain the intelligent. Trust me, there are plenty of mindless, gorey films for the kids to squirm over and talk about in the schoolyard.

I just hope that Kill Bill Volume 2 ties things much better together, and makes the entire film another piece of Tarantino brilliance.

Thanks, Mr. Tarantino. And don't worry, I still love you.

P.S. Lucy Liu does not look remotely Japanese.
