I feel you've misunderstood it. Is every action movie script terribile? That's what this movie was intended to be. A revenge/kung-fu/western actioner. Part one isn't your 'pure beautiful dialogue in a crime movie' like his first three films. It's a pure action script with some nice bits and comic lines thrown in. I loved it.
I'll concede that it's not his best work script-wise, but it's still great and/or wonderful. In any event, saying its absolutely awful seems sort of silly, even without considering everything it was released against.
