I am already sensing from the community that this might be a love/hate kind of movie. I myself totally loved it.
I decided to start a thread for the appreciators of Kill Bill.
Haters can start their own thread.
What did you love about this film? what was your favorite scene? what was your favorite line of dialogue?
i love the bit where The Bride is fighting all those guys against the blue backdrop and you can only see their silhouettes.
I also really liked the part where O-Ren Ishi and The bride are talking and the only ambient sound is the soft clunking of the water fountain breaking the silencences in their conversation.
oh man i can't wait for volume 2 in February

For dialogue it was
"or was it i who penetrated you?" when gogo stabbed that guy.

to answer the three questions:
1) i love the martial arts-style melee action, which is new for Tarantino, who usually incorporated "shoot-em-ups" in his past films.
2) I liked the scene where the Bride takes on all those katana-wielding guys with suits & kado masks and then there's one guy left, but he's too scared to fight her, so she slices off pieces of his katana and gives him a spanking and says "go home to your mother!"
3) the Bride makes it back to the Pussy Wagon and keeps saying "wiggle your big toe", then finally it wiggles, and she says, "hard part's over. now, let's get those other piggies wiggling."

i also though it was cool when the Tanaka group was "celebrating" and Boss Tanaka gets pissed off and argues with the other members. the cool part though is when he called O-Ren a racial slur and then she dashes over and slices is head off as a warning to the others.
she truly knows how to take command!

yeah i thought the character of O-Ren Ishi was excellent. I really loved how, after The Bride has destroyed her entire gang, O-Ren is still bad ass enough to talk shit. But then, after sustaining injury in the beautiful snowy fight scene, O-Ren apologizes to The Bride for showing disrespect.
that was fucking tight.

February 20 is the release date i heard for Volume 2 by the way.
i can't fucking wait. the only thing about this movie i didn't like was knowing that i would have to wait 4 months for the second half. I easily could have sat through 2 more hours of this film.

i agree with your #2 totally! That was so funny!
I've watched a number of Old kungfu movies before and noticed the rediculous amount of blood they used. It was good to see QT pay homage to that!

the part when o-ren sort of tip toes across the table quickly and slices that guys head off was great. just the enormous fountain of blood that came out and the way the shot was held for a couple seconds for effect. funny and gory at the same time.

i actually just got home from seeing Kill Bill and its definately one of the best films i've seen all year.
and i think it had alot to do with the music... it completely amazed me that The Rza was behind the soundtrack, wonderful stuff! the music was combining a western feel and incorporating eastern instruments creating an intense melody (especially at the end)
a plus! can't wait for Volume 2.. Micheal Madsen fight will definately be a sight to see.

Chiaki Kuriyama is great I can't wait to see this film! I hope they've ot cut too much out of the 2nd film from the draft script I read last year, namely the redemption of Go Gos death from her sister, that's my only worry.

It was OK.
I felt QT was a little "late to the party" on a few scenes, and I wasn't thoroughly impressed like his others. I'm sure it'll grow a bit. The sword fighting got a little old but was quickly revived with the snow scene. God it was beautiful.
Overall there were a few parts I was really bored in. That huge sword fight really didn't sit well with me. I liked seeing all the limbs @ the end, that rawked, but while she was fighting all of them I didn't really go spastic :(
4/5stars

just watched it. It was good.
Was it just me or did her name get bleeped out near the start?
I downloaded it and it kept cutting out every half hour to show the 8, 7, 6, 5 etc test footage thingy.

Her name got bleeped not only at the start but again when oren ishii said it later on.
Where did you DL it from? I am dl'ing it right now and i also grabbed a QT interview on the movie which would work great together on a VCD.
The soundtrack also rocks hard!

that's funny. my opinion is exactly opposite your's about the fight scenes. I thought they didn't drag at all. I was actually very impressed with how Tarantino kept building tension and then releasing it during the fight scenes, breaking up the momentum so that i didn't once lose interest. this is something that the Matrix Reloaded sorely needed.

well take it from me. i had very high expectations for kill bill and it managed to totally exceed them. my cheeks were sore from smiling by the end of the movie. it was so awsome, it literally brought tears to my eyes. i haven't enjoyed a movie at the theatre so thoroughly in years.
in short, it's fucking awsome.

hype shmype. if a movie is good, it's good regardless of hype. hype is just Miramax's way of selling more tickets and eventually more DVD's.
at least there is no burger chain tie in (or is there?) and no breakfast cereals (though there should be). I admit though, if they make action figures i'm gonna buy them and yes, play with them.
i heard that QT said in an interview that 12 year old boys should buy a ticket to "good boy" and then sneak into Kill Bill.

So,
Why do you suppose they bleeped out the Bride's name? Anyone have any theories? Concealing her name would suggest that if we knew her name, it would reveal something that is being saved for the second movie.
Did anyone catch the loose reference to Fox Force Five from Pulp Fiction?
they were an elite fighting force with different specialties anyway.

Let the flame wars begin.
Defend this movie like you are the creator.
:)
I love how people back movies (almost want to get in FIGHTS about someone not liking a movie) - as if they had some part to do with it, or poured their soul into it.
I laugh it up :D
Overall 4/5stars
I've watched a lot of kung fu and I got bored at some parts.
Maybe I'm being spoiled now. It's like, "ooo wow, look at all the sword fighting.'
Yawned a lot.
The snow scene, oh oh my.
I loved that part.

yup RZA.. he and tarantino were a perfect match for this
there's a pic of QT holding a samurai sword w/ RZA on the set
I would've liked to have heard a bit more of his involvement in that tho.. check the wutangcorp.com website .. there's an interview w/ rza in which he talks about how they worked together each suggesting different songs etc
he could've used some of the heavily shaolin-influenced works of days passed for this as well.. we'll see what he did for vol2..
that one piece at the end of the anime thing he did was NIIICE
