Kill Bill 2 Observer review

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

British reviewers seem to be more lucid ( and honest?) than their American colleagues. A few quotes:
"Kill Bill is a hollow work. ...It's actually lifeless,lacking any self-generated artistic vitality."
"Before each killing, and on various other occasions, there are long humourless speeches of pseudo-profundity about life and death that suggest Tarantino has lost (temporarily one hopes) the wit and the gutter poetry that informed Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. One of these speeches, delivered at the end by Bill (presented
as some sort of Nietzschean figure who has transcended evil) has been
lifted almost verbatim from Jules Feiffer's 1965 book, The Great Comic Book Heroes."
"In an unconvincing fashion, both chilling and cosy, the picture ends
up a sort of hymn to motherhood".

Those guys need to lighten up. Have they forgotten Benny Hill and Mr. Bean? n - albee33 22:44:46 04/25/04 (3)
