The switch to animation in the one frame annoyed me,as well as having some really annoying songs/music.The fight scene in the restaurant was cool,but outside of that I wasn't overly impressed.Dialogue was decent,and there were a couple of humorous parts.
Rundown was more entertaining to me all in all.Non stop action,and lots of laughs.
Man, i respect ya, but I can't agree with you at all on this one.
First off, the Rundown is a different type of film completely.. so you can't compare. It'd be like saying the Backstreet boys are better then Beethoven.
Tarantino.. while slightly played out by the mainstream media.. is one of the only true modern film makers. He's pushing a product as well, but he is also pushing the art. Not just a bunch of people saying "wow that was neat, great effects!" but a sense of style.
I don't disagree with reviews that say All Style, No Substance... because really what fucking substance do YOU go to a movie theater to get? I'll tell you right now people who look for substance in their movies need to get a grip. Its no substitute for real life.
Kill Bill was awesome, unique, adventurous. Tarantino took many risks in the film, many people wont like, but that all together makes a masterpiece. There is something for everyone in the film. The cinematography is outstanding, the choreography is better then any American made film I've seen. The dilaoge is genious. The music is amazing and the soundtrack itself is something of an artistic complilation.
Bottom line, the movie is awesome. A SIGNIFICANT step up from Jackie Brown which many people felt lived up poorly to the extreme hype of Pulp Fiction.
When he made his first filk, Resorvior Dogs, no one liked it. People would have reccomended shitty movies "The Rundown" over it had it been out at the time. Now, after he makes it big with Pulp Fiction, people embraced his first film. Tarantino should be respected for not just making a Pulp Fiction 2 with the same characters and feel, instead he continues on with innovative ideas and barely managed to keep the mainstream industry interesting.
