just been to see kill bill and i have to say i liked it! with all the anticipation there has been surrounding the fruits of tarantino’s six year absence, it’s difficult to not become caught up in the preamble. i’ve being i’ve been hearing mixed reports and didn’t know what to expect – apart from lots of violence. yes – there’s violence – but it doesn’t quite hit you in the same way as that mr orange scene does in reservoir dogs. i was expecting to be scared and, to be honest, i’m not very good with scary movies – especially on a delicate sunday evening. but i was laughing all the way through! don’t expect any ground-breaking cinematics – just classic kung-fu hilarity, with ott blood and not a scary moment in sight (apart from the first scene, maybe). i loved the mixing of film styles – with live action blending into anime. the music went well with the mood of the scenes (was that ironside?), though i can’t see the soundtrack becoming a pulp fiction-esque classic. all in all – a stylish, bloody and trashy yet entertaining tribute to bruce lee/samurai movies and spaghetti westerns.
