Nope, it doesn't measure up to the first three films, but it is an entertaining action film. Uma Thurman shows she has great skill, even in this chopstick/Samurai/Kung-fu epic.
Scenes go on too long, too much repetitive violence (like the fistfights in the second "Matrix," film)---but most of all what's missing is Tarantino's forté: characters. The great incidental dialogue which so perfectly delineated his characters is largely absent.
Some parts are downright boring, for example: the scene wherein limbs are being called upon to begin responding. Why? There is no drama...no danger. Just time passing as toes are asked to wiggle.
The predicatability and plot simplicity of the flick is also uncharacteristic. The opening scene also beggars belief: would they interrupt a fight to the death for that reason? It's cute, but it destroys any tension and realism.
Still, go see it. It is a good, solid action film. It seems it was a big mistake to break the film up into two, Volumes 1 and 2. Some parts screamed out for editing.
We expect more from Tarantino, but Hitchcock didn't hit all home runs, either.
