I don't know the trailer turned me off. Is it meant to seem so B movie-esque? Like Death Proof? If so it might be worth checking out...

[vypusknye]

Is there anything more this time than mindless violence? Not that there's anything wrong with having mindless violence in movies per se. Just wondering....

And yeah, all the reviews here are like "OMG it's teh great" so maybe it's really great.

I just don't get what's so great about Kill Bill. I'm not film analyst, so I can't dissect each film to see what one had that the other didn't. I hate to think I'm sexist, but that might be it. I just have trouble seeing female as action leads. Where as this film has an excellent performance by both Pitt and the german (he's actually austrian) guy who plays the Col. The woman who plays Shoshana did a wonderful job as well. The other actress was pretty good too who played the german double agent.

As for B moive-esqe, not so much. I too, was put off by Death Proof because it was supposed to be a homage to b movies. The problem I have with that is B movies are B movies generally for a reason. Because they suck. Tarantino doesn't seem to understand that these movies were never any good.

As for this movie it delivers A movie performances, but doesn't take itself so seriously. It's more like a dark comedy or parody. Or as I call it: a fantasy revenge tale. It's a mix of several genres really. The performances are all great, and it's not shot to look like a crappy B movie. The cinematography is excellent. The special effects aren't that great. But his movies generally don't require much effects. The main effect I'm talking about is the Spoiler: knife cutting into the forehead .

Dude, Kill Bill was ****ing awesome.

[BGThomasis]

From what I heard it's not even that violent. I might go see it.

Tits?

Tits?

none that I recall. It has a real quick flash of a sex scene. I don't recall if it showed her tits. Sadly I have failed in my duties as a man, and wasn't looking at her chest region. Something must be wrong with me. Maybe I have the flu or something to miss that region. I was looking at the guy's face which was hilarious. It was a funny shot.

Let's just say Tarantino is a mediocre over-rated hack plagiarist with great p.r., who has never had a good original idea. I don't think that is over stating it.

I'd go along with that.

[JonatonM]

You'd have thought they'd have got a better proofreader on the team

[Bobobsdo]

I'd go along with that.

Let me guess, you prefer the works of Jakob R. Neilson and Marcus Swede Olufsen?

[Loonerisav]

Meh, it was incredibly overrated, but still damned entertaining even despite that.

All I know for sure is that Tarantino's self-congratulatory ego trip at the end spoiled what could have been a great ending. Oh well.

[wJswn5l3]

Really enjoyed this movie

Trademark of Tarantino was that it was hilarious, and I liked the use of Chapters, along with all the stories coming together at the end. I also loved the cinematography and how Tarantino plays with camera angles (like the scene when Landa and Zoller were talking about Landa asking Shoshanna a few questions and instead of focusing on Landa and Zoller's face while the dialogue was in the foreground, they focus solely on Shoshanna's and her terror). Christoph Waltz (Col. Landa) was utterly brilliant.

Each time I walk past my local cinema I look to see if it's on, and end up disappointed, but that's what you get moving to the sticks.

2011 is just around the corner.

[Twendypreency]

are there snipers in the film?

[Controller]

Actually this one did not. Though it did have something a bit similar (I like to call it the "identification as a Nazi shot").

[QvhhbjLy]

I like Tarantino's movies but I need to wait for the DVD (theatres aren't receptive to my bad habits).

Do you pick your nose and flick it at people?

Do you pick your nose and flick it at people?

Worse. I'm a smoker.

[ergyuu]

Let me guess, you prefer the works of Jakob R. Neilson and Marcus Swede Olufsen?

Nope.

I'd just prefer a director who knows when to stop and has some notion of what longueur means.


You can look that up Asher-it's similar to the feeling induced after reading the first word of one of your posts.

Are you simply not aware of postmodernism in film? Seriously? Homages and direct references to other movies and movie tropes are part and parcel of that (among other things designed to reiterate the artificial nature of story and prevent the viewer from being emotionally attached to the subject matter as in conventional film).

A simple plargiarist would hope you don't get where the inspiration is coming from. Those who are engaged in homage or pastiche are expressly hoping that you DO understand where it is coming from and think about those works (it is no accident that Enrico Morricone does a few songs in "Inglorious Basterds") while watching their work.

Regardless, Tarantino is absolutely brilliant (and hence why he's been rated so highly as a director).
