    Kill Bill sucked.

    Great visuals: motion, colours, costumes, settings.

    Great soundtrack.

    But it was totaly 2 dimensional, no depth, no emotion, no resonance, no thought.

    IMHO Pulp Fiction was his best, Jackie Brown second, Reservior Dogs a poor 3rd (sucks compared to any movie Beat Takeshi has done) and Kill Bill most definately last.
