This was my first Quentin Tarantino movie and now my social life will begin to imitate a slow motion car crash as I begin my quest to watch all of his movies ever(yeah I called it a quest what are you gonna do about it?).
So yeah I REALLY liked these movies. The reason that I am reviewing them together is because they are meant to be watched one right after the other. Thankfully I got the 2 pack blu-ray(jealous?). So these movies are excellent but not for the squeamish people(weaklings) among us. The first one is one of the most fantastically bloody movies that I have ever seen. If people in this universe got a paper cut anyone near them would be soaked in a bloody mist.....that is a VERY GOOD THING!!! The blood isn't the only thing good about this franchise either unlike some movies*coughSAWcough* they are also really funny and they have a really good story and great cinematography.
I'll start the review with the first one as you do. Kill bill is about a woman called the Bride played by Uma Thurman who on her wedding day was shot and put into a coma so she wants to well, kill Bill. This movie is done in an anime style which is what makes it so fantastically bloody and ridiculous. Before she kills Bill she also wants to take out the four members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad who took part in the killing of her. There are 2 members that play big parts in this movie those 2 being Vernita Green(Vivica A. Fox) and O-Ren Ishii(Lucy Liu). All of the characters in this movie are entertaining and incredibly well acted even bit characters like the sheriff(who has one of the best sight gags in the movie). Speaking of the comedy this movie is hilarious. The very beginning of the movie pretty much sets the tone when ""revenge is a dish best served cold." An ancient Klingon proverb" comes up on screen. These will both be short-ish reviews because I don't want to spoil these awesomtacular movies but just let it be known that this is an amazing movie with great action, hilarious comedy, and of course lots and lots of the red joy juice(I'm not a serial killer I swear.). My only problem with this movie is that the beginning is a bit slow but it's packed with funny dialogue and is setting up the character of the bride so I mostly forgive it. 9.5/10 One of the coolest action movies that I have ever seen.
Vol.2 is a lot less bloody(aw man) but it is still really good with some great dialogue(yay). It is done more like a western mixed with a Kung Fu movie. I don't have more to say about this movie because the plot is pretty much the same except they switched in some new characters and added in a great twist ending and some more awesome dialogue. That is not at all a bad thing either because it's a sequel to an awesome movie that changes things for the better but also just adds more. 10/10 an amazing movie jam packed with cool dialogue, great action, and an awesome story
And now there's a teaser trailer for Kill bill 3 which I have seen some great alternate titles for like killed Bill and (redacted for spoilerish reasons) so. Yay!
