Reverend Jax Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 This is only his fourth directing job, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I've been pretty hyped about this one too. It's pretty much looking to be the ultimate in "Cool" It's about a female assasin that gets attacked by her group leader "bill" and the other assasins in their group. She wakes up from a coma and seeks revenge. Yuen Woo Ping (Matrix, crouching tiger, fist of legend, drunken master, damn near every other great kung foo movie) is choreographing the fights, and Uma Therman is starring as "The Bride" I can't wait to see Tarantino direct a cool, stylish action movie. Should be a hell of a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 So long as it still has the trademark Tarentino dialogue. I'll always remember what one of my friends said when I showed him Pulp Fiction for the first time: "That was like Seinfeld with violence."

The NZA Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Hee hee, i got here first... Â ...whatta badass movie. Lived up & surpassed its hype, just a blast overall. Pulled no punches either; if you thought Tarentino was gratoitous (sp) before..hah. Ill leave the real review for Junker, but for me: damn fine. Wish Sony Chiba did a bit more but overall, it was really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Never in my life has a movie made me say "Holy shit!" as many times are this movie did. Not The Matrix, not Fight Club, not even close. Like Nick said, this surpassed the expectations. This was the ultimate is just plain cool. I'll see this one in theaters at least two more times. I'm so psyched to see the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidentified Source Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'm on the same page as you guys. Every now and then, a movie comes out that just makes you watch with your jaw dropped open and say "woah." For me, this movie was the best thing I've seen, probobly since the first Matrix. This movie was just another reason for me to say that Quinton is one hell of a director and I don't know how I'll hold off until the second Chapter. I guess we've got movies like LOTR 3 and Matrix 3 to hold the fort down until then. Simply jaw dropping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Holy fucking shit. This is the best movie I've seen in theaters for a looooooooonbg fuckin time. Jaw dropping is exactly how I'd describe it. I don't think a smile left my face for the entire last hour. Whatever random journalists are asking if Tarantiono is just a flash in the pan one hit wonder can just shut the fuck up. This is just fuckin Style! (yes, with a capital S) The perfect throwbacks to old exploitation kung foo flicks, the music, the story structure, just the funnest goddamned movie you'll see. I could watch Tarantino's camera just follow characters around for two hours for christ's sake. And the fights? DAAAAMN. This is what happens when you let Yuen wo ping choreograph fights without inserting CG all over the place and have a true fuckin master filming it all. These are some of the best fights I've ever seen too. All framed within a badass story and shot perfectly. Oh yeah, and like IC said, the gore was nuts. Makes you wonder why there's never any blood in all those other kung foo movies with sword s in em... You hit a guy with a sword, he makes a mess. In this movie, he makes a REAL fuckin mess. I just can't express how cool it all was. You've got a genius director who is a HUGE fan of kung foo flicks writing and shooting badass fight scenes for the best fight choreographer ever to create. This is the perfect popcorn action movie. I WANT THE SECOND ONE NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChiefSlapaho Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I've never seen so much blood. Ever. Amazing story, amazing movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I'm going to see it tonight actually, you guys have me really psyched now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I saw it again Sunday with my sister. It wasn't as good the second time, but that's because my jaw was ready for all the drops. Still badass, but nothign compares to the first time. (teehee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I just saw it again tonight. I pretty much agree with Jack's. Not as shockingly amazing the second time around, but I was still fuckin blown away. The only thing that's gonna piss me off about this one is the splitting of it. I hope the second one flows well. And the DVD set had better be fuckin cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 It was in fact, truly awesome!!! I think it's the best work Tarantino has done. Period. The animated part kicked ass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidentified Source Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah, I forgot to bring that up too. I definately liked the animated part a lot, and it was integrated in with the movie so smoothly. Damn it Tarentino, how do you do it?!

Reverend Jax Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Haha! Â As for TulipO's statement that it's Tarentino's best, well...the first part alone makes it better than Reservior Dogs and Jackie Brown, but better than Pulp Fiction? I'm going to have to see Volume 2 before I can start making that claim. Even if Volume two sucks, it's pretty close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Eh, I'm not gonna compare it to his other stuff, it's a whole other genre. I will say I think it beats fist of legend as my favorite kung foo flick tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I don't know guys, I love Pulp Fiction and True Romance has been my favorite movie since the first time I saw it (I realize he didn't direct, but he wrote it) but I just thought every aspect of Kill Bill rocked. Between the story, the set, the fight scenes, the anime, the sound, the sound track, and the shots!!! The cinematography in this movie was AMAZING! And all the elements of a Tarantino film are there, just like in Pulp Fiction only more fine tuned. He's just getting better. I think we can expect good things from Volume 2.

Reverend Jax Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 It's a tough call (whether it rocked more than Pulp fiction). PF has stood the test of time (not a test many do well with). It's too hard to tell right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartlessbitch Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I saw it for the first time tonight and was blown away.. i want to see it again because I know I probably missed stuff the first time.. excellent stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
