Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Wow.

I just got home from the movie theatres, and all I can say is, "wow."

Wow.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 is the best movie that I have seen all year. It was a bit slow in some parts, but that is just classic QT's way of story telling and advancing the plot. The theme was great, and it has such a feel of old kung fu movies.

Wow.

Solid acting and fighting throughout the whole movie, and with an end fight that is even better than the final big battle in Scarface, you can't go wrong. We are talking a good 13 minutes of hardcore, good ol' fashioned sword action. Blood, guts and limbs are everywhere.

Wow.

And I had a smile on my face for the whole time.

:D

I saw it tonight too... it ruled... So much over the top violence fun... I wanna see Kill Bill volume 2 NOW!

ICHI THE KILLER!!!!

Everyone should see Ichi the Killer when it comes out on DVD November 28th... It's a Japanese movie... Very graphic, gruesome stuff... Not just a bunch of fast action blood splurting everywhere, I'm talking graphic painful slow things like crazy torture scenes and stuff...

Ummmm... But that of course is not the only reason to see the movie, afterall, I watch the movie for the articles... err, I mean the storyline...

Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Ichi the Killer is certainly not for the squeamish. I'm not entirely convinced of its value as an art form (yes, some people claim it's art). As a piece of entertainment...well, if watching a guy slowly cut off his own tongue is your thing, then go for it. But I'm warning you: the tongue is the least of it.

Also, the plot of that movie just flat out sucks. I have no idea what was going on in the last half hour or so of the movie.

Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Just got back from seeing it. Flat out best movie of the year, hands down.

with a cliff hanger at the end that Matrix 2 WISHES it had.

i'll prolly see it again tomorrow night. the lady wants to see it. hehehe

Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I didn't see the whole thing, but I found it fun to watch...

And I'm not a critic with a stick up his ass who criticizes plots... I can normally enjoy anything... If it's a good plot, then it's good because it's good, if it's bad, it's good because it's bad and therefore it is laughable, and laughing is good...

I can enjoy pretty much any movie... wether it's for crazy graphic violence or goofy over the topness or badness (bad horror films, for example)... and I can't stand it when someone watches a movie and picks apart every little problem with the movie... I wanna bash their brains in with a hammer...

Oh and by the way, where did you see Ichi the Killer? Just curious...

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I have heard nothing but good things about that movie(except from dumb critics whom I never believe anymore). I must go see it.

who's in it?
what's it about?

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Yeah, I am seeing it later on today too! And I'll probably see it on Monday as well.. lol... Such a good movie.




And Bobcat, the film is about The Bride (Uma Thurman) being attacked at her wedding. All of the people are killed, except for her, she just falls into a coma. 4 years later she wakes up with one thing on her mind: revenge. She has 5 people to kill, but there are two parts to the movie so you do not see all the bosses.

Cast:

UMA THURMAN - "The Bride"
LUCY LIU - O-Ren Ishii
DARYL HANNAH - Elle Driver
VIVICA A. FOX - Vernita Green
MICHAEL PARKS - Sheriff
SONNY CHIBA - Hattori Hanzo
CHIAKI KURIYAMI - Go Go Yubari
JULIE DREYFUS - Sofi Fatale
GORDON LIU - Johnny Mo
JUN KUNIMURA - Boss Tanaka
KAZUKU KITAMURA - Boss Koji
AKAJI MARO - Boss Ozawa


Holy shyte this was such a good movie. I can't wait until February to see Part 2... And the ending! Oh my... I love how they just ended it like that... phenominal.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I don't usually go for movies that are made just so that the producers can film a bunch of gruesome violnce scenes. It seems to me that if I am going to enjoy a movie, see it voluntarily, then I would prefer to have a reason for watching it. For example, the Jap movie DH posted would not be one. However, gruesome things do not bother me. I just would rather have a specific reason for watching it. Both movies do sound interesting but I don't know that I would want to pay the money for it.

Free with friends is the best way to go...in almost any situation.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

ARGH I'm Stuck Up in Cedar Falls Iowa with my girlfriend and I can't go see it :P

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Id have to say I agree. This looks like your classic case of people going crazy over a movie just because it's so gory.........buuuuuutttt...the reviews have been pretty good so maybe it's worth checking out. I saw School of Rock last weekend, very good movie.

i havent seen the movie.... it just didnt look appealing to me, i guess im more into movies like underworld and gothika, i cant wait to see that one, it looks cool... but um yah... i will probably never see this flick, unless i rent it or someone pays my way to see it..

I think I'm going to see it tonight. I'm pretty excited, Quentin Tarantino hasn't let me down yet, so I don't see it happening with this one either. I wish it was still just one movie though, breaking it up into two different segments is sorta crappy, breaks up the whole experience.

Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

The movie has a great story and an amazing cliff hangar at the end... This movie is not great just because of the violence, people.

And Germanator, trust me, you will be happy that it was split into two parts.

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I like my movies to actually have a point. Ichi the Killer is pointless. A lot of high-minded people (what you might call critics with sticks up their asses) have tried to justify this movie by saying that the movie's pointlessness is the point. I think some people just try too hard to make everything into art.

I'm also capable of laughing at a plot that's so bad that it's good. The problem isn't that Ichi the Killer's plot is bad. The problem is that it doesn't exist.

I saw Ichi the Killer because my local Asian Movie Club was showing it.

Sounds pretty cool. I'd be pissed off if everyone was killed at my wedding.

*wonders when it comes to Australia*

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I agree completely (with the point about making everything into art). If pointlessness is the point, then there isn't much of a point now is there?

Arty! :unsure:

As Joeiss said, wow! Just got back from the movie, I thought it was fantastic. As I expected, pretty cheesy dialogue and such, but amazing action throughout. Music was just as important, my respect for RZA is off the charts, excellent soundtrack...It's also great that no special effects were added in afterwards, everything was done on camera. I'm still pissed that I have to wait for Vol. 2, but I suppose I can't blame Miramax (i think) for wanting some extra bills. Well done Mr. Tarantino.

Edit: Just another funny moment, my 22 year old friend got carded at the door, while my 18 year old self didn't. It was pretty great...

Hmm, Pulp Fiction meets Charlie's Angels? I guess I'd have to see it to know for sure.

Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

The dialogue wasn't too cheesy.. Everything had a purpose.

Heh. Saw it last night.

I didn't want to know what it was about before I saw it. I loved all of Quentin's films so I figured I'd take a leap of faith. I was not disappointed. I loved it so much. I didn't know how gory it would be. I didn't mind of course but wow. Goriest movie I have ever seen.

It was funny too.

I don't wanna wait till February to see the next one.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Amen to that!

Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

wasnt cheesy at all. you want cheesy. look up star wars ep 2. :p

the dialogue was meant to be exactly what it is in this movie.

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I just saw it and loved it! Especially the anime part.

In my opinion, some of the dialogue was meant to be cheesy i.e. "This sword is so good that if you meet god on your journey, he will be cut." It just adds to the whole parody of Kung Fu movies.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

That wasn't cheesy, it showed how good the sword was.

Well, let's put it this way, the dialogue wasn't as well thought out or great(maybe it wasn't intended to) as the action sequences. Not that it matters, amazing action doesn't need great dialogue. I thought parts were cheesy, but maybe it's just me.

Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

It was definitely just you.


;)


I am seeing it tonight with my dad! I can't wait to see it again, lol.

Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I just got back from seeing it with my dad. I'm so glad my mom wasn't interested in seeing it...she would have been sick :p

GREAT movie...best since LOTR: Two Towers, Gangs of New York and Minority Report IMO.

The lines were not cheesy...they were appropriate. The acting wasn't the focus of the movie, either...it was all about direction, storytelling, music and of course action. Uma Thurman is AWESOME. Loved the ending...opens up a lot of doors that must be closed during Volume 2.

I thought the chapter with the Japenese Man was really boring...but other than that, it was fantastic. The scene with Lucy Liu and the gang meeting/celebration was great...reminded me so much of Robert Denero's baseball bat scene in the Untouchables.

9/10

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Damnit stu.. you made this wait even more unbearing.. I just picked up my dad from the bus stop, and he was like "oh, we'll leave at 730".. but the movie starts at 8 so i was like "hello no, we're leaving much earlier than that."

Yep, that is my story. I am so pumped to see it again. And a large Doctor Pepper and a Large buttery popcorn bag await me at Silvercity.

Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Try like 4 segments.

Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

4 segments? I thought that there was only 2 parts to it!

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

yup, 4. They're being released in a 6 year period.

Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

I think he meant Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2... Not the multiple chapters (I think there were 5) in Vol. 1...

Unless that's what you meant... But there are only 2 movies... Because it was gonna be one but it was too long and they wanted more money :sneaky:

Edit: Bastards posting replies before I do... I heard from a couple places that there's only gonna be two Kill Bill movies..... Where did you hear 4? :confused:

Edit again: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/board/nest/3695179

There's an interesting discussion about the film (which also brings up Ichi and the whole crazy gore gore gore violence deal)...

Though I doubt any of you will read it...

Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

depends on how you look at it...

2 kill bill movies. cut in half each.

vol 1, 2, then later 3, 4.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

But... they havn't said anything about another Kill Bill movie... the only other Kill Bill movie they've talked about is Vol. 2, which is the other half of Vol. 1... The rest would just be speculation that there will be a 'second' movie that would also be cut in half... :hmm:

Yeah...wait a minute, I'm pretty sure there is just Kill Bill Volume 1 and Kill Bill Volume 2, because Kill Bill at it's first stage was just one nearly 4 hour movie, so they cut it into 2 parts...Not 4 from what I hear.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

Hey, im with you man. Kill bill was supposed to be one movie. they cut it in 2 to shorten it, and bank on ppl wanting to see second half, which was a good move because it said over 90% want to see the next one.

I've only heard of that one movie, cut into vol 1 and 2. I was just saying if there was supposed to be another. that might be where the 4 comes from. thats IF.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

QT wrote Kill Bill based off of a novel 'the Bride' or something...and I think the entire story consists of about 4 volumes right now. Vol.1 is the version released...Vol.2 is the one coming out next year. The other volume(s) could be about the DVAS when Black Mamba was in it...who knows?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kill Bill: Volume 1
 

lol. next one will be when that little girl grows up and seeks revenge for the death of her mother. :lol: :sneaky:
