Well, I just got back from seeing it, and I was astounded. The story was around the complexity level that I was expecting, although I was astounded at the amount of back story given to many of the characters, I simply wasn't expecting it.
The use of blood and gore in the movie, oh so reminescent of 80's slasher flicks, felt more to me like Tarinto had realized that we have become desensetized to death and violence on screen, and that he needed a visual exclamation mark.
I was also impressed with the quick and brutal deaths found throughout the film, and although I'll always love Inigo Montoya, and the heroic kinds of fights that his personified in the Princess Bride, that's usualy the only kinds of death you see in american movies that aren't about war, so a nice refresher there.
Well, I don't think I can say anything else, and continue to deny the urge to go over most scenes in detail. It's enough that I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes Tarintino films, enjoyed the old spaggetti westerns, or just has a hankering for a huge dose of cinematic style.
