I love Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown but the first Kill Bill was just so-so while the second was completely idiotic, Tarantino going the Robert Rodriguez way.

Actually, the Bills are very Tarantino. He's just evolving. Remember, - tinear 09:51:42 01/16/06 (0)
these really are one film.
The "first" one sets the scene for the "second."
Lots of action, but you are introduced to the indomitable Uma and the horror that sets the chain of events into motion.
I see the movie as a portrait of her, as a love story gone very wrong, and find it a fascinating character-driven story. The various women she tracks down are all fully developed characters, and so are some of the secondary characters, such as the knee-stocking girlish killer.
The violence kind of blinded me the first viewing but I found upon the second and third I was a bit inured and the story line came out much stronger.
Hey, I'm a stoned Quentin fan, what can I say? From the Pussy Wagon to the white-haired martial arts guru, this film had me.
