As I went last night with Cynthetiq...I'll put in my quick two cents without spoiling anything.
The movie is definitely his homage to kung-fu flicks and as such, there are parts that seemed to be a little cheesy to me. However, the movie never really takes itself that seriously, so it's all in good fun.
The movie was definitely in the traditional Tarantino style - nonlinear (but never unclear), a little choppy, great music, more blood than I ever imagined I'd see, and quite entertaining. I'm glad they cut it into two pieces - it was just the right length and ended at a good point.
The fight scenes are fantastic. The final fight sequences (occurring at The House Of Blue Leaves) are really impressive. Uma Thurman does a great job.
