I love this movie. Lots of humour, good story, LOTS of violence, REALLY stylish. There is so much violence in this movie; nothing can prepare you for how much blood is everywhere. And all of it is done very, very stylishly. So much style. It oozes style. I honestly like this movie better than either of the Matrix's or whatever you kids watch these days.

Oh, and the music is all top-notch. I must hunt down the soundtrack as soon as humanly possible.

GO SEE IT. RIGHT NOW. (well, if you live in the continental United States...)

I hear the story is a load of crap though, but might be improved with viewing the second installment? Ah well.. *bides his time to watch it*

I thought the story was:

Bill kills Uma Thurman's hubby.  Uma Thurman vows to kill Bill.  Uma Thurman fights lots of people, eventually killing Bill.  The end.

the fight scenes in Kill Bill are nothing like the Matrix. the Matrix lacks the fountains of blood and constant limb severings! and there are no evil japanese schoolgirls in the Matrix, either!!!

Yeah, as Jinx said, it's pretty different from the Matrix; a lot of it is pretty realistic except the blood (i.e. Uma can't jump 3 floors up or fly around on the ceiling) and from what I could tell they didn't use much computer or wire effects at all. Everyone in Kill Bill pretty much exclusively uses katanas or knives too. I suppose the story is kind of thin as well, but for a movie like this I feel it doesn't have to have much more depth than it does already.

Oh, and it's not just Uma Thurman's hubby; her child as well.

Wow. I've got to agree with CJ- its a very, very stylish movie. The storyline is a bit thicker than I thought it would be, and much less gory than I'd heard. Well, let me rephrase that. The gore is overdone to the point where it is humerous, so its not just overwhelming in its goriness (and it was intentional)(so thats good and all).

And the swords? Oooooh. I can't stop drooling. [addsig]

I thought Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was superb!

All the martial arts stunts were done using strings, none of this bullet time malarky (Which by the way was so over used in Reloaded, really disappointed me Reloaded did)

Much better technically speaking!

Orph, you have GOT to be kidding.

if, you have to ask, you need more help than i do

i can't stand any of the jason movies..

freddy was better, but only to a point, then the movies declined into trash.

CTHD sucked so badly i couldn't begin to watch it, but i just finished watching bulletproof monk, it had a superb storyline and very little of the acrobatics..

i wish this trend would end soon, all martial arts movies such IMO because of the floating bits

What?!? You LIKED Bulletproof monk? NO! Nonono! I refuse to accept that! The storyline was a hashed together piece of drivel trying to play itself out like an epic tale!

Come on! Nazis stealing peoples memories for a scroll etched on some d00d's skin?

Given, some of the action scenes were neat-o, but I'm sorry, the storyline was seriously lacking. [addsig]

sure, it had a bit of silly thrown in, but the basic plot was quite good IMO.. the thought of one person retaining "ALL" like he did was kinda cool, especially when e had to pass the torch on to a veritable dweeb, because he fulfilled the 3 pieces of the prophecy.

still, when compared, my list of all time movies prolly would not have many titles as most of you kids..

if asked, IMO what makes a movie great, is the ability to entertain you, no matter how many times its watched..

if i had to throw out one title that fills that description, it would be "The African Queen" an excellent bit of cinematography.

I guess I'm kind of the opposite then. I mean, I like eye-candy and all, and its important in some films, but if a movie has a plot that makes no sense, and tries too hard to be something that it just isn't, I can't watch it a second time. [addsig]
