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.
