I just don't get what's so great about Kill Bill. I'm not film analyst, so I can't dissect each film to see what one had that the other didn't. I hate to think I'm sexist, but that might be it. I just have trouble seeing female as action leads. Where as this film has an excellent performance by both Pitt and the german (he's actually austrian) guy who plays the Col. The woman who plays Shoshana did a wonderful job as well. The other actress was pretty good too who played the german double agent.

As for B moive-esqe, not so much. I too, was put off by Death Proof because it was supposed to be a homage to b movies. The problem I have with that is B movies are B movies generally for a reason. Because they suck. Tarantino doesn't seem to understand that these movies were never any good.

As for this movie it delivers A movie performances, but doesn't take itself so seriously. It's more like a dark comedy or parody. Or as I call it: a fantasy revenge tale. It's a mix of several genres really. The performances are all great, and it's not shot to look like a crappy B movie. The cinematography is excellent. The special effects aren't that great. But his movies generally don't require much effects. The main effect I'm talking about is the Spoiler: knife cutting into the forehead .
