Anyone seen Kill Bill yet? [merged]

[BiggusGeekus]

I'm wondering if they're going to be teaching this one in film schools.

My wife loved it. I loved it.

Just came back from the movie.

It is the culmination of every (bad?) old action movie I've ever seen, and I loved it.

My brain hurts now, but in a good way.

That was great, right from the "Old Klingon Proverb" to the end. Yeah, it was pretty wack, but you have to expect that from Tarantino. Two thumbs up, looking forward to Vol. 2.

Don't kid yourselves. The only reason this movie was split into two parts was money. Big thumbs down to the studio and Tarantino for asking us to pay $30 to see one movie.

I've heard theories that the reason that it was split into two movies is because if it was one movie it would have garnered an NC-17 rating, which would have been a pretty poor business descision.

It was a butt kicking movie! I had such a blast I went and saw it again the very next day. Great flick. I'm also glad (before I saw the film I was rather annoyed) that they split it. Seeing 4 hours of that kind of carnage and violence would get a tad exhausting.

One thing that did get me going was a guy who brought his 2 very young kids to see it (I'm talking 4 to 6 range). I don't know if I thought he was more of a idiot for bringing the kids or that he sat there for 15 minutes before he realized he should get them out of there. This is not a movie for children in any way shape or form, of course who takes a couple of 4 year olds to a R rated movie to start with. I was so glad when they left, I felt bad with them in the theater, what a idiot.

I see this all the time. I'm guessing the parents can't afford a babysitter, but you know what? If they can't afford a babysitter, maybe they can't afford to be going to movies, either. Reminds me of when I went to see "Natural Born Killers," there were parents who brought along a child who was 3-5 years old. And they stayed for the whole movie. If they take that kid to alot of ultra-violent movies, I wonder how messed up that kid is going to be?

 

[Shadowdancer]

Chitchatting with someone, we both remarked about the total lack of any mention of it being Part 1 of 2 in the previews and such. Very misleading I think . . .

The first previews were made and released before the decision had been made to turn it into two movies.

I've heard theories that the reason that it was split into two movies is because if it was one movie it would have garnered an NC-17 rating, which would have been a pretty poor business descision.

I do think money had an issue to play in it being broke down into two movies but after seeing it, I have no problem paying it! This was not 90 mins of the normal Hollywood action movie, this was 120 of some of the best action, music, setting, story this year. Yes, I was the person who predicted movies to go to volumes after LotRs but Kill Bill fits multi volumes!

My wife and I saw it Saturday, and had the "numb" reaction as described above. Good God the Gore! But it was highly captivating, no doubt about it. My wife didn't like it on the whole, she told me later, yet I watched her reaction, and she stayed hooked in that movie every scene of the way. Overall, I may wind up renting the second half, because I didn't see anything that absolutely made me proclaim, "I'm SO glad I saw this on the big screen!"

But I agree - It was the bloodiest anti-violence movie I've ever seen.

My favorite line:

Spoiler

"That really WAS a Hattori Hanzo Sword."

 

[TracerBullet42]

Great movie. Everything about it just looked way cool.

And I'm stunned nobody's referred to the greatest line in the movie (paraphrased, cuz I don't remember it exactly....

"Those of you who are still alive should leave and consider yourselves lucky to take your lives with you. But leave your limbs, for those are mine..."

That's some cool stuff, there...
