The movie was amazing. It's the "in-thing" to hate Tarantino -- the guy's so good people just want to bring him down."Kill Bill" ripped off old martial-arts action movies, did it all better, and then repackaged it in a year-2003 film.
Plotless? I don't agree with that. Did you see "Intolerable Cruelty" -- simply awful, stupid, and predictable. A plot? Not in that one...and that comes from the usually excellent Coen Brothers.
Kill Bill was riveting, start to finish, and in order to do that, you have to have some story to follow.
Follow Ups:
While I haven't seen the movie, if a filmmaker is skilled enough to create a compelling character study, there doesn't need to be much of a plot to maintain interest, and Tarantino certainly has proven his ability to create compelling characters.

but it is incredibly minimal...Uma has a list of names to kill and that is the movie. At some point in the 2nd movie, perhaps we will know the reason behind the wedding party attack, but this is only brief back story in this movie. On paper, it sounds too thin to be of interest, but the screen is alive from beginning to end.
