I finally watched Kill Bill 1 & 2 last night.
Not absolutely bad, and some cool stuff, but I don't get what the heck people see in those movies that they've become sort of a cult thing. I'd heard so much about them and there's so much praises for Tarantino, but those movies are pretty average and excessively self-indulgent.
Worst than that - he completely lost my attention during the big showdown in the first movie AND in the long and verbose scene leading to the death of Bill in the second one.
Maybe all the hype around Tarantino makes me a harsher critic. But I don't think so - objectively, I found that there were interesting things but tons of weak points too.
I appreciate clever recycling of styles and clichés but I don't think there was anything too clever there.
