Kill Bill: The Review - Nubblies.net Forums

Schroeder · 10-18-2003, 04:45 AM

Wow, what can I say: Quentin Tarantino is amazing. Kill Bill is definitely one of my favorite movies ever. Uma Thurman does such a great job in the lead, and acting is superb with all the characters (or at least I think so). You experience the whole range of emotions, from disgust to anger to just laughing because a scene is so awkward that that is the only defense you have against it.

Basically you should go see this movie if:

A. You liked other Quentin Tarantino movies. I know, this is a big change for Tarantino compared to his other movies, but don't worry die-hards, it's still unmistakable Tarantino: Gritty, Raw, No-Punches Held Genius.

B. You like violence. There is tons of it.

C. You like watching women fighting.

D. You can see and hear at the same time.

If you have time this weekend, go see Kill Bill. If you don't have time, make time.

Also, I'm sorry if it's not in Warsaw yet. I know I was pissed last weekend when they didn't have it.

On a side note, unless I missed something, Tarantino did not actually write a part for himself into this movie. I know he did for Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but I'm not sure about Jackie Brown. Tonguegina or someone, please clarify.

tonguegina · 10-18-2003, 10:23 AM

No, Schroeder, Tarantino was not in Jackie Brown, nor was he in Part I. You have to remember, though, that Part II is due out in February, so he could still make an appearance. Did you notice Samuel L. Jackson? He was the piano player at the church during the wedding. UB told me that one. I didn't notice.

Anyway, moving on to the movie itself, it was phenominal. I knew it was going to be good, but didn't have too high of hopes, because his movies are usually all plot and not much action. This, however, is quite the opposite. All action and little plot. He just made it so well, though, that it still falls in line with the other classic Tarantino films.

Now for a little side story of my experience during the film. I went to see it with Orgazmo, UB, and a friend from down the hall. During the huge-ass fight scene, the movie just stopped, at which point many people left, but we're smarter than that. We just figured some guy fucked up. Anywho, after the movie was over, Orgazmo and I waited around with a crowd outside of the manager's office and ended up getting free passes to see another movie. UB and our other friend decided not to, however, because they didn't feel right about it because they enjoyed the movie...or something like that. Either way, I basically saw this kick ass movie for free. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I'm very pesimistic about this movie. I love his past films, but the trailors just make it look like Charlie's Angels on steroids.

He actually did have a part in Jackie Brown. The "robot" voice on Jackie Brown's answering machine, notifying her of a new message, is the voice of Tarantino.

So albiet not a big part, a part nonetheless.

You're an idiot!
To think that Quentin Tarantino would put out pointless drivel like that.

My dear Schroeder, did I say it was such? Or did I say the trailor made it look like it?

Call me an idiot again and I'll rip off your head and shit down your neck.

Tarantino is the most horrible director in the world. All his movies are too violent and have no apparent story line. Kill Bill was no different. I give Kill Bill a meger 3 out of 10.

Combat Chuck · 10-18-2003, 07:24 PM

VOL, you obviously have the worst taste in the history of the world. Tarantino is a directorial genius. I'm sorry he can't pander to your "Sweet November" movie taste.

I still have yet to see Kill Bill, just because of a sheer lack of money. But this weekend, I plan on seeing it.

My only reservation is the whole "hardly any plot, but a fuckload of violence" thing. Sure, that'd be entertaining, but a whole movie of just that? I don't know....but I have faith in Q....so yeah, I'll see it.

I also want to see Lost In Translation quite badly too.

Schroeder · 10-18-2003, 09:06 PM

Osiris: You're still an idiot. I'll be waiting.

VOL · 10-18-2003, 10:32 PM

I didn't like "Sweet November". I am a fan of "Zoolander"

-Ugly Bastard</font>[/quote]Yeah, I forgot about that. My bad. Like I said, he still has Part II to appear in.

I agree with Chuck I'm think. The apart lack of plot and overdone violence makes me hesitant and somewhat pessimistic towards the film.

Combat Chuck · 10-19-2003, 11:48 PM

You know what the worst thing is though?

It hurts to see fans of Tarantino like me and Pli in a situation like this.

tonguegina · 10-20-2003, 01:32 AM

I'm telling you guys, I was the same way. Go see it, you will not be disappointed.

Schroeder · 10-20-2003, 02:09 AM

Yeah! You just gotta have faith in Tarantino. He's never let you down before.

Combat Chuck · 10-20-2003, 03:15 AM

Actually, he let me down that one time when he said he would loan me his car cause mine had broken down and I needed to get to work, and he ended up going out to see his girlfriend in Chicago. Boy, was I pissed.

tonguegina · 10-20-2003, 11:04 AM

You have to let the man chill with his bitches. Have you read the male code? For God's sake, it's right there, Article 1, Paragraph 1.

St. Anky · 10-20-2003, 03:45 PM

I have to say, I saw the movie the opening day, and I was a little dissapointed. You can insult me all you want if you really need to satisfy your anger, but it won't change my opinion. I've seen most of em, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs have to be my favorite movies. I don't know, it was too abstract for me. It almost seemed like the constant violence took away from the storyline. Tarantino is a genius, nonetheless, I just think he tried something new here, and he strayed a little off course. I have to admit however, I greatly enjoyed the animated segment. Mindblowing. Anyways, there's my two cents and fuck you, I dun giv a dam.

Schroeder · 10-20-2003, 03:55 PM

Ah, but St.Anky, the violence was so stylized. I, at least, was never really grossed out by anything like that. The violence was meant to add to the movie, not detract from it. Tarantino had said he wanted to try something new, not make Reservoir Dogs: The sequel or Pulp Fiction 2.

Very good call on the animated part. It was worth the price of admission in itself.

St. Anky · 10-20-2003, 04:11 PM

Schroeder, I understand that he was "trying something new", I just think he went somewhere he doesn't need to be, artistically. Thats my opinion. I didn't walk in expecting a sequel, I walked in with an open mind; you have to in order to enjoy his movies. I saw good things in the movie that I humbly enjoyed, but the intense fighting pulled me away from the storyline. To me, Tarantino's greatest strengths are in his scriptwriting. Characters are so witty and complex. In Kill Bill, there wasn't as much well roundedness of character. That once again of course, is my opinion.

Schroeder · 10-20-2003, 04:25 PM

Tarantino said that there would be more story in Volume 2, coming out in February, I believe.

Rubber Ducky · 10-20-2003, 05:26 PM

Quack.

VOL · 10-20-2003, 10:27 PM

there's more to come? I guess I will have to go see it to find out what the rage is about.
