Note: This is the first movie on my list to appear on two of the top 100 lists I used to compile the 251 movies I’m watching.



Date Watched: 4/5/2013

What I Liked: The fight against Lucy Liu’s character and all of her minions was by far the most entertaining part of the movie. The scene sort of reminded me of Neo’s fight verses the Agent Smith clones on the basketball court in The Matrix Reloaded.

What I Disliked: Quentin Tarantino. At this point I don’t think I’ll ever like his movies, which doesn’t bode well for me since I can think of at least 3 others on my list that I still have to watch. I can’t place my finger on it, but there’s just something about his directing and writing style that I don’t care for.

Grade: 2.5 out of 5 (Satisfactory)
Rationale: Entertaining enough that I’ll watch Kill Bill: Volume 2 just to see how it all ends but I’m not really excited about it.
