Here's the bottom line: people who aren't fans of Tarantino just. don't. get. it. That's the problem. You either love him or you hate him. This movie isn't supposed to be filled with emotion - it's his tribute to Kung Fu, which are supposed to be devoid of story and emotion. The second one is more classic Tarantino (I liked it better) but it's a good warning to always say: Clear your mind of any real knowledge of logic or your average action flick - AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE F'ING DIALOGUE!!! It is the most annoying thing in the world when people talk through his dialogue in PF and RD...
