Despite the grammatically abhorrent title - this is a thread to rant about movies it seems everyone but you seems to love.
Debate welcomed. Personal attacks not so much. (Unless youre really funny!)
I have a few. To kick off proceedings i present, Kill Bill (1 and 2)
I love Tarantino. I totally understand why he'd wanna do a chop socky flick.
Why did it have to be insequential? Sure its your style Q, and for your other films it works a treat, but in this case, it doenst enhance the story one bit.
The actors all seem like theyre reading off cue cards (to the point where its like several hours of simple one-liners) and no one seems to gel together as an ensemble.
To me, you couldve pieced together one decent film from the two volumes of patchwork kungfu and swordplay.
The characters all had 'cool' names that seemed sloppily cartoonish rather than anything actually cool. Killer chick with amnesia = 'The Bride' thats cool. Beatrix Kiddo, not cool.
Naming an (mostly) all female assasin squad after snakes = Cool.
Calling the squad 'Vipers' and not all the snakes are actually vipers = Not Cool.
The snake names were pretty dumb too, and didnt really have any specific relation to the womens nationality/background. Where's the Cobra, Boa, Asp, Adder, Rattlesnake and so on. Sure theyre not vipers either - but they sound cool!
If the bride was really that pissed off - surely she'd snipe them all from a distance with a rifle.
Of all Tarantino's films - this sits at the bottom of the pile for me.
End Rant
