Unbelievably good DTS soundtrack, but the movie was kinda lame, wasn't it? Anybody else disappointed with this Tarantino film?

I thought the blood was over exaggerated. The Vol 2 is supposed to be much better.

Vol 2 is a lot better.

i dont mind watching a second part,but the way that movie ended pissed me off a little,getting half way through a story then being forced to go to the movies to finish it,or wait a year for the dvd.kind of a scumbbag move if you ask me...ron

I liked V1. Although, V2 does do alot more explaining and I like the old master who has foot long eye brows.

I think Tarantino made the 2 volumes as one film and the studio forced him to cut it in half (or edit it down - which looks like what he should have done with Vol 1).

I don't think I'll have any problem waiting for Vol 2 to come out on DVD.

are you guys crazy, the absurd amount of blood is what made kill bill vol 1 kick...... i Love it... kill bill 2 was alright, but i wish there would have been as much blood, i mean, how cool is that, theres no way there could be that much blood.. don’t know, the enormous amount of blood is what I liked about kill bill vol 1…

I loved both versions of this movie. Honestly, Vol. 1 may be one of the best action movies I've seen in a long time. Almost everything about this movie is perfect. If you're not a fan of the grindhouse cinema that this movie is a tribute to, I can understand not liking it, but I thought both parts were amazing.
And as for splitting the movie in two, that wasn't Quentin's first choice. While making the movie he basically kept coming up with more scenes, then filming them. In the end, he was left with what he though was a solid 4 hour movie. The Weinsteins at Mirimax said there was no way the movie watching public would pay to see a 4 hour movie of this type, and refused to release it without Quentin cutting it down to 2 or so hours. Quentin refused, and they eventually settled on splitting the movie into two parts. hence the two parts.
I'm looking forward to seeing the whole version in theatres as it makes its small realease, art-house tour.

I just watched Vol. 1. It's not his best work, but it was solid. What I liked the best, and have always enjoyed, are the little quirky things like the 'pussy wagon', how he disects the scenesm, and the bit of anime he used to mix it up. That would be interesting to see the two all in one sitting...

I think both are great. The blood is pure cartoon - there is so much of it you can't take it seriously. Loved the sound track on V1. Haven't picked up the DVD of part 2, yet.
