-Over the top premise
-Barely justified why a class was fighting to the death
-It's Quentin Tarantino's favorite movie that he wish he made

You seem to be getting rather defensive of something we all said we enjoyed. Doesn't mean it has to be hailed as flawless. It's a healthy discussion about two movies with similar themes.

But trying to justify a ridiculous, over the top director choice (and I guess the comic, given your signature), is silly. I get annoyed at most movies for the same shit because I was in the army and own firearms, so I'm around them a lot. It's just hard to take a character seriously as a super killer when he flaps his arm around like an inbred turkey with an Uzi and murders a shitload of characters when he shouldn't have hit a damn thing.

Although, it is amusing to pretend he has aimbot.
