I guess it all depends on whether you think Tarantino has a worthy vision or whether you think he's a talentless hack. I fall into the latter group, but I can see how someone believing there is merit to his films would want the whole shebang. If Kill Bill is the best he can do, I think his level of talent is shamefully low.
Follow Ups:
Keep in mind that many did [and still do] consider Picasso, Stella, Warhol, Monet and Serra hacks too.A primary measure of quality in Art is the ability to engender many responses and meanings. A statement that works on many levels.
You may hate Guernica too....
It isn't the best he can do. You have heard of Pulp Fiction haven't you? Resevouire Dogs anyone? Anyone?
I actually do like Reservoir Dogs the most of Tarantino's films. But that is because of Harvey Keitel, Roth and Buscemi. What they did with that script was amazing. If not for them, it would have been trash...right from the start with the dirty story about the virgin to the end where Tarantino can't even show what happens with Buscemi.
