Kill Bill Vol. 1

[Predator314]

I'm probably the last person on earth to see this movie. I watched it last night. It was just a random "what the hell" pick in my Netflix queue. I normally don't like the martial arts with chicks movies, but this one was bad ass. I guess the story line is what sucked me in.

Vol 2 just made its way to the top of my queue.

IMO 1 was a lot better than 2 (I felt 2 was bloated), but the concensus is pretty mixed - loads prefer 2.

A slick 2-2:30 cut of both together, removing the bloat, would have pwned tho.

I've seen 1 more than I've seen 2. I like 2 better. 1 is good, but that superlong fight seen with the crazy eights kind of drags. and 2 has way more michael madsen. The matador makes any film 10x better. I can't weight to rent Donnie Brasco now.

I saw them once each in the theater when they came out. I'm tempted to buy them now and watch them back to back. Would people advice against this being that they are so different?

I noticed Michael Madsen being a co-star in the opening credits, yet he was only shown in a flashback/still for a few seconds. That was a bit disappointing.

I'm sure that Tarantino is going to put out another version soon, where both are combined (as was originally intended). You can probably wait for that.

MikeM plays a pretty good role in KB2, watch it, you will like it.

Both great films, but flip sides of a coin. Don't go into 2 expecting to see 1.

I saw QT in an interview where he talked about the possibility of KB3 in fifteen years when Verdita's daughter Nikki has grown up and wants to avenge her mother.

I just watched 2 the other week and I think it is better than 1 but then I prefer revenge westerns over the kung fu type films anyway. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected and though Uma was fantastic throughout.

The ending I saw coming a mile off but the final confrontation was still well done and worked due to its lack of violence and more verbal interaction.

[MonkeeMan]

I own them both and enjoy them equally. Don't want to throw out any spoilers except to say that the ending was predictable for all the right reasons.

Just never forget, don't [censored] with Uma.



Then again, I'd love to!
