This is the last of Quentin Tarintino's films I had to see, and now I have. And you know what? I like it. It'd not as flashy as the previous or later two, and but for the presence of Sam Jackson, could easily be mistaken for someone else's work.
The difference between the Kill Bills and the others is that the others develop slowly, it's not obvious what they are heading towards, or if it is made apparent, such as in Resovoir Dogs, then 'the big finish' takes a backseat to the telling of the story. Kill Bill, on the otherhand, makes you wait for four hours so the main character can get a chance to 'Kill Bill' and uses most of that time to engineer paths to set pieces via clunky dialogue.
Kill Bill strikes me as like the Matrix sequels; directors given free reign, but also with nothing to prove anymore. The weighting of all of those films is so much towards the action and what the directors percieve as important speeches that the rest comes off as inconsequential and ultimately becomes so. But over four hours.
