I love Tarrentino flicks, but I don't like how the studio is handling this one. If you don't already knwo they are breaking it up into 2 different parts to be released seperatly. Guess that they don't think we can sit through a 3 hour movie...even though some of the highest grossing movies ever have been that long. They are just money hungry, wanting us to pay to see the movie twice.

I will however end up paying to see the whole thing, I'm sure...but I won't like doing it!

I seem to remember discussing this with NP a while back.

Anyway, I have my doubts. It doesn't seem very interesting, and I've never been a huge Uma Thurman fan. Still, it's being directed by Tarantino, so I couldn't possibly denounce it immediately; Pulp Fiction and the superior Reservoir Dogs were both fantastic. I'll probably go see it, and make final judgement after that.

OK, I've seen the commercial, and from what I saw, it doesn't seem that great. It looks like something that would be interesting, but not something that would hold my attention.

But you have to admit, those fight scenes are impressive. Uma Thurman was certainly the last chic I thought of who would be an action star. That wild fox that she is. biggrin.gif

Good...Lord...

It's hard to find words to describe this movie. I feel like I just witnessed the best thing to ever happen in movie history. It's going to depend on how volume two turns out, but put together, it may be my favorite movie ever. Tarantino draws you in after maybe two minutes in the movie, and you are just transfixed to the movie the rest of the time. Uma Thurman is amazing. I didn't know she was capable of being that great of an actress.

That said, it was also the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. Not even with just all the blood and gore, some of the dialogue and timing is designed to just disturb the hell out of you, and it does it's job. But I loved it, it just makes you care even more about what happens. I thought GTA3 had made me jaded to violence, but...damn. I didn't even get used to all the blood during the movie, either, I was still jumping in my seat when a limb was hacked off and blood squirted on the camera. But I wouldn't change anything about this movie, even the anime scene in the middle (other people I talked to thought it was unnecessary, but I really liked it. It just wouldn't have worked if you had tried to use a child actress for that scene, and I think anime was pretty original to put in there.)

If you have a high tolerance for blood shooting out of places where limbs used to be, see this movie. Best Tarantino movie ever.
