I panned V1 on this forum a week or two ago. I still think it's inferior to V2 by a wide margin. Too much exposition, not enough characterization, and QT almost seems to parody himself with some of the dialogue. But it does set the stage for a sublime V2, at least in my opinion.

Hmmm ... no one else seems to share my view of this great imbalance between the two volumes. I'm still trying to figure out if there was some artistic purpose to this. Maybe something will hit me on a subsequent viewing. Still, without the benefit of seeing the second volume, I would be steadfast in my opinion that V1 is superficial and thin.

I felt the same way about Resevoir Dogs, yet many people admire this film as well.

I guess there's no accounting for taste.
