I’ve heard a lot of rave reviews about this one. I did enjoy it, but it was lacking in some areas… I couldn’t care less about any of the characters. For all I know, the protaganist (the bride) had it coming, so her “revenge” is hollow. I really wanted to see more history of “why” her wedding party was slaughtered… perhaps that will be in vol 2? The way that Tarantino jumbles timelines, I wouldn’t be surprised. One thing this movie did have going for it was style – it’s just fun to watch as art on screen. As for the violence/body count? Anybody who’s offended by that has totally missed the point. The “violence” is completely cartoon violence – like seeing Wile E Coyote smack into the ground at the base of a cliff. How could you possibly be shocked by that? What’s more, all the people who get killed are characters you just don’t care about, so it has the emotional impact of the “destruction of movie props” as far as I’m concerned. The only violence that made my heart thump a little was seeing the bride get shot point-blank in the head. So quit complaining… If you want to see a horrifyingly violent movie for comparison, see the Pianist.
