i'm sure miramax are delighted by the extra sales but i refuse to be so cynical as to believe the film was split to make more money. i think it's an artistic decision and it'll make more sense to us after vol. 2. sequels and such are the real cash-ins..

wow just saw it today. its just way too fucking cool. the whole anime thing in the middle was such a novel idea (like the old time tv show segments in natural born killers, a pseudo-terentino film)

There is just no way that the regular movie goer who might actually not like QT movies or Kungfu movies but might have found the trailor interesting wouldn't be able to tolerate 3+ hours of this movie.
I would have loved it but realistically this wasn't geared towards hardcore movie fans

apparently the decision to split was made before the movie wrapped shooting, but it was made by harvey weinstein, the miramax executive. he convinced tarantino to do it like this, which is sort of how alot of the old 1950's musketeer movies and martial arts films were done.
i definitely could have handled another two hours, but i don't really mind it like this. gives me something to look forward to after return of the king.

i can't agree with you there.
i like NOT knowing too much about ANY film i go see.
i like to be surprised about plot lines, music....etc.....
i'm almost always disappointed after seeing a movie that was OVER hyped like this one. i wish i'd not read a single article about it, etc.......for me that what made Pulp Fiction such a MINDBLOWING film for me.....i didn't know anything about it!
i really enjoyed this movie and look forward to Vol. 2, but the HYPE = MOVIE IMO.

I saw Kill Bill on Friday. Now it was good and not so good. The first half worked exceptionally well the adreneline was pumping, the action was awesome and the tone was right. Uma Thurman was very cool. However the second half kinda of lost it a bit really it just got a bit OTT and silly in parts. For me bits needed tidying up and the scripting in parts needed refining. It was good up to a point and then lost its way. I'd have to watch it again but on first impressions its no way Tarantino's best movie; that goes to Jackie Brown for me. In conclusion it felt like an unfinished peace. Too many different styles, moods and ideas attempted to be crammed in to it and so it lost its way a bit.

"In conclusion it felt like an unfinished peace."
in fact, it is an un-finished piece. and more so than you know...
there are rumors up at Upcomingmovies.com that an animated prequal, as well as a sequal concerning some of the kids in the film, may someday come to the screen.
aww shit yeah.

anyone wondering where Q tarantino cameos in the movie? a rumor floating about tells that he is playing the character Pai Mei to appear in the second film.. This is not accurate though. Pai Mei will be played by Gordon Lieu and QT will be playing his english voice.
should be some good dubbing humor i suspect.

i could not agree more.
for instance, i absolutely refuse to watch or even listen to a trailer for return of the king. and i don't want to know anything about it, apart from having read the book.
i used to be really big into trailers and shit, but then i started enjoying movies less because so much of the good stuff i'd seen a hundred times in the trailer already.

What did you love about this film?
Umra Thurman's outfit inspired by Bruce Lees "Game of Death" and her samaruri katna was beautiful.
I have a very blunt curved Middle Eastern scimitar so hence the interest.
The directing of the fight scenes was breathtaking and a lot tighter and more fluid than the Matrix...
what was your favorite scene?
When Umra banged Buck's head against the door frame and said...
what was your favorite line of dialogue?
You are Buck who likes to fuck...

My fav scene was:
the only scene that really stood out at me; was the opening suburbia fight scene between black mamba, and coperhead. (i want some Kaboom cereal.)
other than that; it was a shit plot. who is uma thurman going to kill next in the one-on-one/one-by-one subordinate then gang bang limb lobbing bloodfest, then one-one-one/one-by-one... (repeat) at the club? Lets give a quick flash back intro; and the audience is set!
my fav quote was:
"Plot? Shit man, when i pitched it to my drunk ass shit producer; it sounded good at the time..." Q. Tarantino.
I was going to go see the Japanese un-edited ver, but i'm sure i know where all the scenes are (gore? notice the quick arkward cut to the next frames? ie. lip bitting /CUT/ on the floor).
Glad i DLED it!

i don't think the plot is shit. it is a revenge movie. and for a revenge movie virtually the only requirement is to set up motivation for revenge. I think this is done very effectively in Kill Bill, nobody can disagree that The Bride got a Raw Deal; being murdered (almost) on her wedding day, left for dead, robbed of her child, and not only raped, but prostituted over at least a few years if not the entire duration of her coma.
but i agree, after that is set up, revenge movies kinda unravel themselves. But i also think it is far to early to make judgements about the plot considering, we have only seen half of the movie.
it's too bad you only saw a downloaded copy. for a movie that is driven more by visual style than by plot, i don't think a 17-23 inch computer monitor can really do it justice.

I'm discombobulated by the overwhelming amount of people who are cutting tarantino slack on this issue.
just because it's intended to be crap people eat it by the shovel full.
Just like those crap ass, lower than degenerate, punk names. If i were to release a punk band and call it "the crappiest piece of shit you'll ever listen to" i'll be all over the charts!
Crap is crap. and the audience should be pissed to think that tarantino thinks that his audiences will take it.
Jus tlike Jay and silent bob...am i suposed to let it slide because it makes fun of the people who make fun of it?
no.

i went to see it last weekend with my girl and we both loved it :D
part2 is definately on the list,
maybe i expected some more 'useless' dialogues a-la tarantino, like for instance pulp fictions foot massage or quarter pounder/mayonaise stuff or the 'i don't wanna be mr pink' stuff from resevoir dogs etc.
but all in all i really enjoyed it, also great music indeed (as always)

nobody is cutting tarantino slack on this issue. it meets or exceeds the requirements for a great revenge movie. It's plot very effectively sets up motive for revenge as well as any great revenge film (see Mad Max, The Crow) it has excellent visual style. The sound effects are awsome. It has a great soundtrack. It has beautiful cinematography. it has 100's of gallons of blood spraying out of severed necks and limbs.
i honestly don't know what more i could ask for from a revenge film.

I was watching Battle Royale a couple days ago. It is interesting that not only did Tarantino use an actress from this movie (to play Go-Go) He even gave her the same hair style and basically the same costume.
but, the character most similar to Go-Go in Battle Royale is actually played by a different actress.
