Bleh I suppose I'm the only one who didn't like Kill Bill. Yeah it was suppose to be a b-movie flick, yeah it was a nod to the countless animes and asian movies. The thing that killed it for me was bad sound. Maybe it was just the theatre I went to, but the audio levels were all screwed up. Music and Sound effects were way too loud.
I liked the blood though. That was nice.
It probably was just the theatre messing up the sound...the sound was fine when I saw it...Originally posted by: Everon

Unlucky...
I liked the first one, the blood thing was cheesy, but it was done on purpose to emulate old movies so that's fine. I'm looking forward to the second one.
I saw the trailer for Kill Bill vol.2 last night and im looking forward to very much. Its cool that they will show us how Bill became who he is in anime. It ten days left until it out here in Sweden yipee[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Yeah the new trailer kicks ass, shows a lot of cool scenes, this one will be better in sense of story.
A lot of you are missing the whole point of the movie "I didn't like the gushing blood". Everything in the movie is supposed to be corny and unrealistic i.e having a complimentary sword holder to carry your samurai sword on a plane, the godzilla-like tokyo when she flies in and everything else in the film. It was great. If you watched all the old films it referenced it also makes the movie like 3 times cooler, and Sonny Chiba is the man. On the other hand i don't remember who said Zatoichi was better but i disagree completely. The added in CG blood was faker looking than Kill Bill's and though the movie is slightly comedic the blood should not be in a samurai movie. The older Zatoichi movies were so much better. The sequel (really a continuation) of Kill Bill however is going to be less violent and it will be corny in a Sergio Leone Western kinda way instead of old Japanese and Chinese flicks with more dialogue. Basically classic Pulp fiction stuff so i f you didn't like Vol. 1 you might end up liking volume too.
Damn!!! Why did Gogo have to die?
Chiaki Kuriyama is so badass
Yes i am unapolagetically a big Quinten Tarantino fan.
the reason i didnt like the crazy 88 scene in the first one wasnt because of the corny gushing blood, it was because it was about 30 min or so of just repetition.....it was boring
i liked the 2nd volume though....alot more satire and alot less drawn out fighting

Yeah, the second one was amazing. Just saw it last night the Elle Driver vs. The Bride fight was the second greatest thing i've ever seen in my life, Pai Mei being the best!!!!
"Pai Mei teaches no one the 5 palm point exploding heart technique".....woo that was good times

Yeah Vol.2 was very good i loved it, and yes Pai Mei is the best!
lol...Pai Mei is awesome!!Originally posted by: Hajime-Saitou

Watched the second one, I'd say much better than the first, specially the whole thing where Bud (AKA Sidewinder), who I thought was the most sincere at first, was actually a person who just feigns weakness to make people put thier guard down. A liar at heart. Good stuff.
Pai Mei was great. Too bad Quentin didn't go deeper into the Pai Mei-Beatrice Kiddo relationship.
It was one of the best movies ive ever seen, it ran on a little too long but the best part was when B.K fought Elle and that thing happened (You know what im talking about people the funniest and grosest part in that fight at the end of it)
R.I.P Captain America.
That movie was awesome...My new code name is Black Mamba....

lucky....
i just got back from seeing it, and i must say even better then the first. this movie i really enjoyed.
pai mei is awsome. some really great flashback scenes.i did not expect the end to end the way it did.
is it worth buying?..i d/l the dvd rip..but i dont know how to use and open up those rar files..is it worth shelling out $15???
Pai Mai alone might make the film worth buying. He shouldn't have had a lame food-poisoning death. The 2nd was better than the first, but I didn't really like the ending. It was too happy for me, just didn't really fit. Black Mamba AKA Mommy, wtf is that.
I think the ending was grand. Kill Bill is a most definate on the purchase list. and Pai Mei owns. He owns your mother. your cousin. your sister. and your brother.
Oh, and Sonny Chiba is the man, and Estaban is teh r0x0r.
Who thinks Bill should have taken 6 steps?
Kill Bill 2 was completely awesome. I just saw it couple nights ago. Pei Mei.. Damn he is such a badass. Damn Elle, such a bitch. But if you want pure cutting legs and heads off and bloodshed everywhere, then you wont like kill bill 2. Hahaha. Did you spot the celebrity cosplay by uma thurman? she was doing a hayate/kakashi combo. HAHA

Just saw it for the first time and although it was a film I enjoyed, I was disappointed (the only reaction to the film I really saw was in this forum, where feedback seemed really good), there was very little REALLY good action, and the ending was one of the biggest anti climaxes I've ever seen...a kind-of-spoiler coming up...
**SPOILER**
I was expecting a big exciting fight scene at the end....and instead that daft (albeit funny) technique is pretty much how the film ends! The 5 steps technique would have been a good way to end it had there been a fight before it, but I sat through a load of talking and to have it end like that I was kinda like wtf?
**end of spoilerish thing**
Don't get me wrong, it was a good film...its just that imo the first was much better.
