Kill Bill V1 and V2 I think and hope will gain a cult following -- they are a lot better than they seem to be.
Follow Ups:
I panned V1 on this forum a week or two ago. I still think it's inferior to V2 by a wide margin. Too much exposition, not enough characterization, and QT almost seems to parody himself with some of the dialogue. But it does set the stage for a sublime V2, at least in my opinion.Hmmm ... no one else seems to share my view of this great imbalance between the two volumes. I'm still trying to figure out if there was some artistic purpose to this. Maybe something will hit me on a subsequent viewing. Still, without the benefit of seeing the second volume, I would be steadfast in my opinion that V1 is superficial and thin.
I felt the same way about Resevoir Dogs, yet many people admire this film as well.
V1 is thin. V2 is filled with the expository and is the better film.BUT, it is one movie and the first film as idiotic as it is had me leave the theater with a big dumb grin on my face. I get the sense that this film was conceived of from one part of Pulp Fiction when Uma Thurman talks about a failed pilot about the Force Fox Five.
