I love Tarantino's early movies like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, True Romance and From Dust 'Till Dawn. His later movies like Jackie Brown and Kill Bill did not impress me though.

What was wrong with Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2 ?

I'm not sure that I can put it into words, since I'm not someone like Roger Ebert who reviews films for a living. When I saw the two Kill Bill movies they just held no interest for me. What I like so much about Tarantino's early films is how true to life the characters are. In Kill Bill the characters just did not seem to act real and display real human emotions. What was great about Reservoir Dogs when they are sitting around the diner and discussing what "Like A Virgin" means, the audiance can relate and identfy with the characters because they have had similar experiences. The same with the great scenes between Vincent and Jules in Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill, IMO, was just to far fetched. Some of the moves that Uma Thurman used were so overdone I felt that they were lame. Also, the characters in Kill Bill were not at all interesting. Unlike Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, where people still watch them all the time (I know I do) I don't think that many people will really remember Kill Bill 10 years from now. After all, how many people still watch Jackie Brown. I don't know anyone who has seen that movie in five or six years. Of course, this is just my opinion, and should not be taken as anything more.

Tarantino is my favorite director. From Dusk Till Dawn wasn't done by Tarantino. He acted in it, but it was directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Hey Brian

Hey Brian,

Tarantino wrote the screenplay for From Dust Till Dawn.

SBTB Geek · 07-22-2004, 07:50 PM

I like all of his films, especially "Pulp Fiction."

I'm with dukey.

I enjoyed his old films, particularly "Resevoir Dogs," but I also wasn't too impressed with "Kill Bill 1." Some of it was cool, but for me, it didn't live up to all the hype.

Four Rooms was very weird in the sense where ive never seen a movie set up like that, but then again i dont watch that many movies. But it was comical. Very random too. Haha but i was laughin through some parts. Madonna and Antonio Bandaras starred in it, on separate segments, hence "four rooms". Ok im done. But yeah, i like his films, the ones ive seen.
