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.

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.

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.

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.
