let me tell you this...my friend and I went to Kill Bill 1. When Kill Bill 2 came out, we saw it the first weekend. Both of these were classic Tarantino, filled with imaginative homages to various film genres, and in the 2nd with plenty of classic Tarantino dialog. OK, so of course we went to Grindhouse on its first weekend out. Planet Terror was OK, but the real draw was the 2nd half. And we both felt let down. It felt flat and minor. Maybe I'll try it again on DVD eventually, maybe I'll like it more.

It's funny. But I remember being totally disappointed in KB1, and thought Tarantino had descended into utter kineticism and mockery ... and then I saw KB2, which not only restored my faith in his abilities as a film maker, but forced me to go back to KBI and take another hard look.

It will say that KB2 redeemed KB1 for me, but the second still seems to have gotten most of "the father's favor," and I still consider 2 far superior to 1, taking each on its own.
