You realize, of course, that the fire hoses of fake blood, hundreds of severed limbs, and all the crazy kung-fu action was
intentional. Tarantino's like that. He's an incredible movie buff, so he's making movies that are meant to be movies. He had plenty of money so everything he did was for a specific effect. Some people will say it's in bad taste; au contraire. It is ABOUT bad taste.
Those of you who may know a lot about the environment he grew in (seeing as most of us are teenagers, probably not a lot) will understand that everything here is intentional. You're not supposed to take it seriously! Q says this is 'a movie movie' and he's right. Don't go expecting a cinematic masterpiece with a compelling story, or a brainless action flick. His movies are for moviegoers.
That said, I absolutely loved it.
Tarantino's one of my favorite directors; he's got this way of taking common movie plots, characters, and situations, and turning them on their side. I think he's brilliant. I'm not going to discuss anything about it so as not to spoil anything, but it's the kind of movie where you either love it or you hate it.
A technical note: the only CGI used in the movie was to erase some of the flying wires used on the actors. That's it. No composite shots or green screens; that's much more than we can expect in today's cinema. Quentin knows what he's doing.
KABOOM!
