Kill Bill - It’s not good, it’s not ugly, but it is bad.
I finally got around to watching Kill Bill (Volume One) the other day, and, just for the record, it’s freaking awful. The Chinese rope-powered martial air-ballet is one of the most awful concepts in movie history, along with the butt-kicking babe. Kill Bill, of course, relies heavily on both.
Imagine a contemporary remake of “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”: After a seven second long staredown (can’t bore those MTV kids!) The Woman Without A Name (played by Jennifer Gardner) suddenly soars through the air and knocks out both antagonists with incredibly powerful kicks. That’s pretty much the level of artistry brought to us by Kill Bill type movies.
