The only good thing about this movie is the soundtrack


I'm a Tarantino fan. Reservoir Dogs, True Romance and Pulp Fiction are in my Top 15 favorite movies.
I like Jackie Brown, Inglorious Basterds, From Dusk Til Dawn, Natural Born Killers and first half of Death Proof. Hateful 8 and Django are enjoyable as well.

But Kill Bill is simply not compelling. The first time I watched Vol 1 was around the time it came out. I didn't like it at all.
I decided to give it another try tonight since I couldn't believe there was a Tarantino movie I didn't like. I disliked it even more. I also gave Vol 2 a try, and it was even worse.
I like the over-the-top violence and ridiculous dialogues in Tarantino flicks, but he lost the sense of balance in this one.
The characters, the action scenes and the plot is too silly to care about. It's just pointless style over substance.

My observations say fans of this movie tend to be immature self-described feminists and horny submissive males who are into CBT and dominatrix porn.

Can't knock the soundtrack though.....mostly for the non-original parts, such as Ennio's classics.
