Kill Bill dilemma

[redwitch]

Just rented Kill Bill 2, without having watched Kill Bill 1. Is this wrong? Should I watch them in order? Help!

1. Look inside yourself grasshopper

you already know the answer to this question

[redwitch]

5. Thanks.

Zen advice is difficult for me at this time.

[Sannum]

2. YES!!!!

Watch them in order together in one evening!!! Don't make me come down there!!!

[redwitch]

8. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

My head is going to explode!!!!!!

3. There's a recap of volume 1 at the beginning of volume 2.

It's not a problem. They're actually very different films in many ways.

6. I guess

it wouldn't really matter. You will miss a few of the "jokes" in 2 w/o knowing the backstory.

-The Crazy 88
-The mysticism of the Hatori Hanzo sword
-The identity of the piano man (ie Old colored fellah).

12. And redwitch doesn't seem all that interested in catching everything.

They're both very entertaining films on there own.

13. 2 was MUCH better than 1

In fact, I wished I'd just seen two.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

14. I thought part 2 was better than part 1 also.

I would recommend seeing them in order. The second one will make a lot more sense after seeing the first.

22. Me 3. Part 1 had no character development. Part 2 was an improvement.

Loved the stuff with Michael Madsen working in the strip club, getting reamed out by his boss.

23. how funny

I really liked 1, but 2 bored me to tears. 1 is way quirkier and, I thought, more interesting. 2 is a little sentimental -- though it's got some wicked scenes.

4. you REALLY need to watch the first one first. n/t

[NewHampshireDem]

7. Yes ...

Though you could watch them out of order, you'll really enjoy the first one much more without the little spoilers in the second.

[Kokonoe]

9. I could watch it backward or forward

It's good.

[Placebo]

10. yes, Yes, YES!!!

Always watch films that are released in chronological order, IN THE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER THAT THEY WERE RELEASED!

It's for your benefit really. :pals:

[jukes]

11. blasphemy!

heretic!

[AlFrankenFan]

15. watch in order definitely or it will make little sense to you n/t

[graywarrior]

16. I watched 2 before I watched 1

After a day or two, you won't notice the difference.

[KenCarson]

17. i suggest just watching random chapters if you're going to mix it up

.

[northzax]

19. eh, it's not really going to mess with the story, is it?

just a bunch of vignettes linked together.

[Tweed]

18. Don't bother with either

Tarantino has got to be the most overrated person in Hollywood.

[laheina]

20. He is one odd duck.

The movies were OK, but one has to wonder what the sexual brutality says about him. 90% of it wasn't even related to the plot.

[Tweed]

21. Glad to see someone agrees

Everyone else here is praising him. His movies are too violent. I also think that Pulp Fiction is a great picture until he pops up. He is a terrible director. A good director would have been able to tell that he was going to suck the movie down.

[bliss_eternal]

24. I liked part one sooooo much more than part two....

....too much talking, not enough action for me. I'm usually not big on violence at all. But after the pace is set in one for all that non-stop action, it was hard for me to handle all the talking in two.

Me watching pt. 2 : Yawn. When is someone going to kick some ass?

LOL!
