I haven't seen "Last Samurai" yet, was thinking of missing it, but may go see it now.
Also: no, you aren't alone. I quite enjoyed Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" back in 1994, was annoyed at the lack of much evolution between that film and "Reservoir Dogs" which I viewed afterwards, and was pretty much put off by Tarantino's lack of range by the point of his direction of an ER episode (though Ewan MacGregor was good in it).
Then, as far as 'Kill Bill' was concerned, you can read my own disappointed review here:
