Kill Bill Series

Isaac_Brody said:
So you saw the sequel before the original? Or in the case of Kill Bill, that's like only watching the second half of the film. What are you smoking? :Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

I'm sorry, if you sit down an hour into a film and call it crap from not watching the beginning I gotta call bullshi*.

It's simple. I can tell the Godfather II is great without seeing the first. KB Vol 2 is supposed to hold up on it's own. Everything about Vol 2 doesn't interest me. I found it to be boring and silly (silly in a bad way). QT style bores me.

No....It's Excellent writing.

Really, what is good about it? I like some QT dialogue (Dogs and Pulp) but KB Vol2 didn't have much worthwhile. The story itself was bad writing.

I'm probably the only who has done this, but I watched Vol. 2 first (I bought it used in some junk shop and there wasn't Vol.1). Well, based on Vol.2, I have no interest in bothering with Vol 1. I came away with -- what a bunch of nothing. Not exciting, not interesting, just bad all around. This is good writing? The only good thing I can say is Carradine is a better actor than I thought. But wow, why the hype? .. what a waste of time really. Yeah, I know, you all will say I must see Vol 1 before forming an opinion but no thanks. There's no way he can make up for Vol. 2. The only good QT film IMO is Dogs. I didn't care for Pulp. What can I say? I enjoy QT's interviews more than his movies.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

So you saw the second part of a 2 part act and have formed your opinion ?

No thanks.

I still think it's silly not to watch the film in its entirety, but I dig QT's style.

Agreed.

Issac, just curious...
what's your

on the state of the director? Who would you list as the top 3 active filmmakers?
 
I'm not a big fan of the Kill Bill series BUT it's not a bad movie. I found it entertaining, but not up to the standards I had come to expect from QT. I own both DVDs and have watched them a couple of times. For me, they're popcorn movies.
 
Like Issac said,
How can you say the story itself was bad writing when you only saw the second half?
Volume 2 wasn't a sequal, the volumes are meant to be watched together. You watch volume 1 and volume 2, the story is actually quite excellent.

Releasing them a year apart was a mistake, in that respect.

i think it was 6 months, but regardless, I agree it def. was a mistake. But that's not QT's fault, it was Harvey Weinstein's. Tarantino always meant for them to be watched together.

Obviously QT and the studio released the films in two VOLs because (besides the money) they think VOL 2 holds up on it's own. If you guys can't tell good writing after 2+ hours of any movie, in any sequence, then I feel for you. Bad is bad. Nothing can save it.

Not faulting QT for a marketing decision. He's a director, not a bean counter :thumbsup:

It is of your opinion that the writing was bad.

I and the majority here would disagree i think. However that doesn't make us right either.

What i think is the major factor here is you aren't a Tarantino fan to begin with so trying to argue with you is moot.
 
Well, he liked Solaris Machineman. That alone has to be some kind of curve

Once again, you seem to be in the minority on this one. They're 2 different films, but you wouldn't know that because you haven't even seen V1

Go plop down the $2.99 and watch it and then come back to us. Honestly, your basing an opinion off of an uncompleted journey. Until then, your opinion means nothing in this discussion.

I remember that, now. That movie IMO was a total waste of time. Two hours I'll never have back.

One Chapter is all you need to say in V1:

Showdown at House of Blue Leaves

Holy mother of filmmaking !

I was QT fan with Dogs then I lost interest with his subsequent films. I see clearly that KB vol 1 is not going to work for me so I'm avoiding it. God, I can see it now ... Oooh Bill is so nasty ... poor Uma ... now Uma's running around trying to get revenge on Bill, blah blah blah ... assassins here and there, blah blah blah ... looky all the cool blood flowing, splurt spulrt, Uma barely escaped that one!, blah blah blah, ect.... I'll pass.

I'm in the minority because the majority is usually (not always) blind.

Ohh yea Solaris. Terrible.

I only watched half of it.

Terrible.

You'll only watched half of it? Ha! Don't you know better? ... that you must watch the ENTIRE film before basing an opinion? :violent5:

So basically, if we learn to love insipid crap like Solaris and sing kumbaya with you we'll understand what a good movie is? I don't think so.
 
That is exactly the kind of monster I presume we are dealing with Blaine.

You liked Dogs but lost interest with subsequent films. Can't argue with that. If you did not like Pulp or Jackie I can barely summon a reply.

Hardly. But cute.

Don't try so hard.

Why don't you give us your top 20 films of all time (in no order) so we can get a better understanding of what were dealing with here.

And if you think Tarantino is where the cattle go ?

Aye yae yae
