As per my response to another of the film's defenders, tell me what makes this bit of comic book of a movie (and, yes, I acknowledge Tarrentino's own homage to the influence comics have on his sensibility in the movie with the line-art interlude) a work of art.
I admire some of QT's other work, but this one struck me as thin and predictable, more mired in the comic-book sensibility itself than distilling anything poetic or artistic from it.
Give me something to think about the next time I have a chance to see it. Maybe it'll change my view.
But what I saw the first time was a film that became preoccupied with the conventions of comic books and eastern martial arts films to the exclusion of almost every other cinematic concern. It seemed more like a film Beavis and Butthead would make, than one Tarrentino would make. I can almost hear them chuckling when the john is about to mount the pimped and comatose Uma Thurman.
