I liked the first one better....more blood shed there

[MysteryIncMan]

Amen. Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 rocked. It was ended beautifully, just the way it should have.

[Qdemption]

Yeah the first one was down right nasty!! I will give it that. But what makes the second one great was that it makes you like volume 1 that much more.

Her kunk fu master, i can't remember his name, was sick.

God that movie was awesome.

[stray]

saw it Saturday...

Yeah, Pei Mei was absolutely kick ***, and that whole segment was DEAD ON with all the references in shot design to the old kung fu movies.

also the "fight" with bill was cool as hell.

[Qdemption]

Damn skippy man. Those zoom-ins were classic. I am telling you, there will be more in the DVDs. Kill Bill 1 DVD has no extra footage, that is ploy to make more money. They make you buy the bare bones DVD and set you up later with the 'extended edition'. So essentially, you end up buying the same movie twice. It is a textbook manuever and I haven't been able to counter it. I think it is called capitalism.

Hmmp, China... will they ever learn??

[burnin240sx]

^^ made me kicked myself in in the *** for not see thing saturady instead of spending the day at the drag strip then night at the rod runs. and should have seen it sunday after doing some Solo-II.

I just got home from the late showing, and all I have to say is "wow"

I'm practically speechless about the movies... brilliant in every way - a wonderful homage to the classic asian films.

I HIGHLY suggest seeing these films if you haven't already.

[I H8 UR DSM]

yes....and HERO looks pretty cool as well

[R-tune-B15]

it was freaking kik azz! but at the end did she go crazy? she laughing and crying at the same time. but anwyays the movies kicked azz and I loved the credits at the end! Quentin Tarentino OWNZ!

[90Q45blue]

Those movies prove once again why Tarantino is one of, if not the best filmmaker in the business today. The 2nd one was amazing.

she's already crazy, she took that *****es eye!....lol, what you've never seen anyone so happy they are crying?

[creophus]

Yeah I liked the second one better than the first. I like action, but the first was sooo bloody! I like the way the wrapped up everything. Closure is so important. Someone should have told that to the brothers that made the Matrix trilogy

When Pei Mei jumps on the sword and says..."...you can get an excellent view of my foot from here..." and then kicks her I cheered in my seat. Not because she got kicked but because of the line that he says!

[Qdemption]

Too bad Pei Mei got betrayed, he made the movie for me. Daryll Hannah getting eye gouged for the second time put the icing on the cake.

She was smoking hot with one eye and then just do-able with no eyes. Just pretend she is a pirate and it is all good.

[StrangeLove]

Wait awhile before talking about the movie, alot of people haven't seen it yet... at the very least put a spoiler warning

[Megaseth]

i saw vol 1 friday night and vol 2 saturday night and DAMN!!! we were so into those movies. when they ended vol 1 i was so pissed at the line because it made me immediately want the second one. and yeah, the kung fu master part was the best. perfect tribute and satyr to the old movies. haha "pei mei taught you his 5-point exploding heart tecnique?" brilliant. we were laughing so hard at all the little references to kung fu movies. a lot of people didnt get ehm, but we did. anyone else laugh at david carridine playing the flute, just like Kung Fu the legend continues??

oh and HERO looks FREAK BADASS! and so does I, Robot. i gotta read the books now so i can compare the movie to them.

[UncleBen]

Have yet to see either one.

[I30T]

Man, I saw it 10 min. into it, so i missed the whole sam jackson scene.

But other than that, I loved it.

[Megaseth]

haha, Samuel L was such a badass and he didnt even do anything!

[stray]

"How 'bout 'Love me tender'? I can play that"

haha!!

Hero looks completely mind-blowing, and I, Robot looks like utter crap...

they took a very serious, deep book and turned it into a hollywood action movie. ( or so it seems). Ugh.

Anybody else notice the Ennio Moricone Music at the end? As bill is walking away? Straight from "the good the bad and the ugly", I frigging LOVED that.

[dareo]

1 did have much more action but 2 really finished off the story well, liked it a lot. The Punisher was also quite badarse, TONS of action/violence in that one.

[Megaseth]

im a little skeptical on I, Robot. it looks like its going to be good, but they could also be just showing the big action parts. and when my dad found out it has will smith in it, who isnt too bad, he kinda frowned because he knew the books were very serious, one of the best serious written. i'll prolly go see it, but i dont know if it will be as good as the graphics are.

[Cyberkreig]

Movie was insane. I got my tickets online for opening day.. I am trying to go see it again.

[BoyWonder]

Both Vol 1 and 2 were awesome. 1 had action, 2 had comedy. Highly recommend them both.I actually had a chance to watch Hero. Apparently it's been out for some time elsewhere in the world (IE: China) long enough for it to come out on DVD (like, a real DVD, not a bootleg). A friend of mine who happens to be Chinese had it and let me borrow it. I must say, it was much different than I expected. It was very "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"-ish with the action, and had a strange story. I don't really want to give away too much about it, but the trailer is quite misleading about what happens in the movie. I will say I liked Kill Bill 1/2 way better, though Hero wasn't too bad.

[Megaseth]

my friend told me she saw it with her boyfriend. shes half chinese so she was trying to expose him to chinese culture and they went to a china-stuff store to get tea or something. they ended up finding the Hero DVD and watched it on a PS2. she said it was really really good.

[BoyWonder]

Well, I watched it after a long day of working on getting my damn car running, so I was a bit tired at the time. I'll watch it again when I'm a bit more awake, since the story was a bit more complicated (or felt like it at the time). Still though, it was quite a bit different than the trailer let on. I still suggest seeing it for yourself though.

[Sopdadope]

I loved Kill Bill Volume 1. As a youngster, I devoured the old chop-socky Shaw Bros. grindhouse martial arts flicks. Spaghetti Westerns especially the Sergio Leone's -The Good, The Bad and the Ugly...Once Upon a Time in the West - rank as some of my fav movies.

Suffice it to say I was really amped up to see this Kill Bill Volume 2. I guess I'm in the minority here because I walked out of KBV2 feeling a bit underwhelmed. Tarantino pulled a big Yin-Yang here, I really enjoyed the experimental, devil-may-care attitude of the first flick but I felt Volume 2 was a bit too talky and contemplative for its own good. Some parts seemed overlong without forwarding the plot of the story- the scene where the clubowner berates Budd and the chit-chat with the geriartric pimp with the annoying accent- and no real payoff.

But there were some really cool parts that were worth the price of admission alone - the Pai Mei flashbacks, the Bride being buried alive and the fight in the trailer.

All in all, Kill Bill 1 and 2 makes for an enjoyable Kung Fu/Western mix tape.

Oh yeah, I just rented Hero from http://www.greencine.com and I'm speechless. SOLID cast, incredible fight choreography, dropdead gorgeous visuals from the best cinematogropher in the business. This movie reminds me why I watch movies.
