Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair [View all]

[reACTIONary]

I just saw Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, and, unexpectedly, actually enjoyed the four and a half hours! My spouse likes Tarantino and enjoyed the Kill Bills when first released, but I never really cared for his sensibility, and never saw them. But I went along.

What made it entertaining is that it doesn't take itself seriously and actually has a lot of laughs. The crude "special effects" (blood, gore) are over the top and rival those of Dr, Who. The characters are cartoonish beyond stereotypes - especially the Kung Fu master.

The only disappointment was the ending, which was maudlin, something like really weird Hallmark schlock. Oh well.
