I really liked both movies.
Just got back home from the second one, actually

.
They were done with expertise, and I love how they satirize 70's kung fu flicks.
Tarantine actually has stated that he plans to make a Kill Bill Vol. 3
rinky-dink-linkWhat are your thoughts on the Kill Bill movies?
b.d
Actually, shamefully, I haven't seen any of them though I have been planning to for a long time. I just don't have any time left for movies. School work along with SEN is driving me to my limits. Everybody around me has seen it, even those squemish guys that don't like gore (for the record, I love gore. Not horror kind of gore, but more like blowing heads off and slice and dice kind of gore). Damn, I feel so left out. Then again, I could just get the DVD and watch it during the summer. But other things precede it, like watching Matrix: Revolutions first, and then finishing the last Lord of the Ring movie, which i haven't watched yet. Grr....so many movies...so little time!
I think the goriness of Kill Bill is misconstrued.
It is all done to satirize the 1970's kung fu movies. Take a look at movies like the Swordmaster series. When a person get taps in the arm, their arm not only breaks off, but spray blood out like a geyser. Kill Bill is just making fun of that, not trying to gross anyone out.
It would be every grosser if they made it more realistic instead of using the off-color (too bright) blood, and the amount of blood that they use.

I haven't seen the first one yet. I really should go do that...
Planned to go see the first one; it looked cool actually.
Ended up not seeing it... As well as any other "good" movies.
I think critism says KB movies are made for "low intelligence" people that likes "unreal" stories only for special effects.... Bleh

I seem to do that a lot. Well whatever now I just download them.

Went to go see it, but some how ended up watching shaun of the dead, And Dawn of the dead

I can't even DL them anyway; my couputer would just be too weak to even not lag while playing it. The sound would just end up being 5 minutes after the movie itself near the end :/
Sadly I did not see the first yet... Like SP said.. I had planned on seeing it but didnt along with most other Good movies...
I need to go see that. Now all my friends are talking about 2, and I haven't seen 1 yet...

I've seen the first one and It was AWSOME!!!!! I mean, all that blood gushing out of their arms and heads and legs! It is unbelievably funny, yet cool! I have plans to see the new one, but no one around here cares, so I don't here about it! I would tell everyone here, go and see it before you post again, because you have no idea how cool it is. In fact, all you have to see is the first one! I mean, it has awsome music, and you'll get hooked! Well, I just loved everypart of the first one, especially the Anime scenes!

Bah, well they don't get the first one. The special effects are not special at all. They are purposefully done badly (as I have said many times) to satirize old kung fu flicks.
I'm not saying that you think this btw, I'm just commenting on whatever critic(s) said that.
Yes, the plot was 'unreal' but so was LOTR.
b.d
I don't like them at all. It has a small plot.

You know, it is said that if your not pleased by simple things in life anymore, your life is crap! So I would rethink it! I mean, the plot is simple, but how they get there is ####ing awsome!
The plots aren't that simple.
No more simple than the other movies out right now.
b.d
Saw only the first one, but it was pretty good still. My fav parts were the switch over the anime for the background on lucy lui's character, and the big brawl near the end of the movie. That schoolgirl was hots!
Your right, at the end of the first they did throw in that add on to the plot. I wont say what it is for all those people who haven't seen
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 ! Still, it is

Ok these movie rock! I haven't seen any of them. But gore,sex, and more. (Hey I made a rhyme) I'm renting the first one soon. I also want to see Van Helsing

I saw them both too, and i really liked them

the last scene in KB1 is what made the movie, not because its gory or w/e, cuz it's never been done before
and KB2 explains the plot in KB1 with a little more action

You mean The Bride vs the Crazy 88? Or Bill talking to Sophie

?
b.d
the soundtrack for volume one is also great. the intro song is the best of them anwyay

I'm dling the first one as we speak. But I want to watch the real thing first, larger screen etc.

The first on I saw and loved. Saw it twice again....
Havent had time to see the second but its next then Van Helsing.....!!!
The whole older camera and film techniques give it a wesome flair and coolness.
Kill Bill 2...next
How bout kill another guy named bill?

The first one's soundtrack is awsome. Whoever thought up that music is a ####ing genius (Excuse that little cuss...). Well, I think the whole first movie was down well. I mean, it starts at a nice fast pace and by the end your like, WOO HOOO!! I WANT TO GO AND SEE THE SECOND ONE!!! THIS MOVIE IS AWSOME! I'll buy the whole set once their done, you know, save money!
kill bill sucked and i believe the second one will suck even more
