Kill Bill was the worst movie I've ever seen, bar none.

Kill Bill II was actually watchable, but still bad...

Now, this really rouses my curiosity. If Kill Bill was truly "...the
worst movie I've ever seen, bar none...", then what possible reason could
you have had for watching Kill Bill II? :-)


I thought of that as well. Also, Kill Bill I & II wasn't like your normal
sequel. They were originally shot as one LONG movie. So what you are really
saying is you didn't like the first half of the movie and did like the
second half. I can say this about MANY movies.

Trust me -- it was forced upon me! (There is a group of otherwise
intelllgent people that inexplicably think that "Kill Bill" is a
classic movie...)

Interesting. I think I was so prepared to watch a horrible movie that
my expectations were lowered to the point where "Kill Bill II" was
better than I expected...

I understand those people. I have a very hard time watching any Tarantino
movie. He has a violent streak a mile wide, and his idea of entertainment
just doesn't mesh with mine.

But, he is a true craftsman. The artistic value in his movies is there, and
can be appreciated by anyone who can get past the violence. Granted, it
takes a certain kind of person to be able to get past the violence, but I
don't think that makes his movies any lesser. Just less comprehensible to
the general public. I was not able to sit through either "Kill Bill"
movie, but even from the bits and pieces I caught while my wife watched it,
I could see that his usual attention to character development, plot,
interesting locales, and production values were all there.

(Sadly, I think that in fact the "general public" is far too immune to this
sort of violence...but on the bright side, it means that more people "get
it" when it comes to his movies).

Some of his "less-violent" films that I did really enjoy include "Jackie
Brown", "Four Rooms", and "Pulp Fiction" (yeah, I know...sad that "Pulp
Fiction" could be considered a "less-violent" film ).

The first time I watched "Pulp Fiction", I hated it -- but I was
mesmerized by John Travolta's performance. His performance as a
sleazy, psychopathic murderer was (IMO) amazing, and Tarantino should
be given credit for casting a former teen idol in this unlikely role.
Travolta really emerged as an "actor" in that film, for the first time.

I've since watched it several more times, and have come to appreciate
other parts of the movie, too. Samuel L. Jackson did a great job in
his role, too, as did many of the lesser parts -- but it's still WAY
too violent for me.
