Well.....i guess one way of judging a movie is by how many snores you hear in the theater during the movie So in the case of Kill Bill....that would be 2 snores DDDOOOOWWWWWNNNNNNN. Fight scenes great if widely overdramatized. Was like watching a old time cartoon with the safe falling on ppl's heads, fountains of blood, and corny chase scenes. Great actors, interesting story line, but the movie was a dud i feel. Of course, i was told it is a typical Quentin Tarantino Movie...but i also don't like Pulp Fiction.

Hmmm, some kind of Blasphemy there, you dont like Pulp Fiction. Diff'rent strokes for different folks I guess, I found it had levels of genius through the violence and defantly want to go see Kill Bill soon. [Blasphemy (Blass-Fem-Ee) - 'I don't agree with what you've said, so we're going to crucify you for it.]

It really reminded me of an old kung fu movie... I really loved it myself, but not so much for the fight scenes per se. I loved how ritualistic everything was, and some of the morality involved was beautifully complex. My only real turn off is the "volume 1" thing. It's good enough to make me annoyed at the lack of ending, but not good enough to keep me on the edge of my seat for the next year to see the next one.

OK - the fight scenes were sad (they should've hired a better choreographer - not one person held a katana properly). However, the blood was fairly accurate. The "jet of blood" syndrome after a decapitation is well-known. The heart tends to pump blood to the head with extreme power, and after decapitation, 3-4 pulses of blood still gush out, reaching heights of up to 6 feet. If you don't believe me, there are plenty of forensic journals that'll support my case (recordings of blood on the ceiling, etc).
After seeing the movie, I don't know whether I loved it or hated it. It was artistically a piece of genius, but was perhaps the most psycho movie I've ever seen. I dunno...

Hey EK You noticed that too about the katana Huh.
See I am a sword fighter and the katana is my Weapon of Choice. And they swung the sword like a bat more the a Sword.
teh decapatations were cool.
The fight Sences Cartoonish But So was Crouching Tiger Hiding Dragon.
They really Went with the Old Kong Fu movies
Me I Loved it. And want to see The Whole thing Played Out. but it bombed in the theature. It'll be a cult classic Like Pulp Fiction But no one will like it

*BRO Wishes to Resurrect this old thread, since he has seen “Kill Bill” only recently*
Anyway, I rather liked the film in general (IMHO, “Kill Bill” is among the few films that are worth seeing; IMHO, 99,9% of films pale in comparison with a good anime), although naturally there were some parts that I dislike.
Anyway…
Plot. Not especially good, except for near-climax twist. But then again, considering that most of “made-in-USA” action films don’t have any plot worth mentioning, this is still an achievement.
Characters. Rather interesting. Most of the main characters appear like real people, with wishes, personalities and even little quirks of their own. Background characters… Well, just background characters. “Character does his part, character goes away.”
Fighting scenes. At parts a little bit unrealistic, but overall, very good. Personally, I haven’t noticed that not one person held a katana properly, but that’s understandable since I was never trained with katana myself, and thus, I don’t know how to handle is properly. However, I found it rather unrealistic that modern yakuza were armed with melee weapons such as katana (and isn’t katana exclusively samurai weapon anyway?!), not modern firearms. I honestly don’t believe that modern yakuza still use melee weapons, probably with exception of ritual duels among themselves.
Music. Very good. I enjoyed it.
