Someone just posted in the "Top 5 Movies" thread with Kill Bill V.1 as a top choice. How many of you have seen the movie, and if so what did you think? I suppose it'd be interesting to hear if you've seen Volume 2 as well.
I just saw Volume 1 tonight on DVD. I'd heard the film described as "ultra-violent", but I generally am not incredibly turned off by violent movies -- which is the reason why I still wanted to see it (and it being a Tarantino film).
With that in mind, it still seemed to me that much of the movie was totally unnecessary -- massively violent scenes for no real reason. I suppose a movie about revenge is bound to be bloody, but it seemed to be total excess. I also wasn't very fond of the animation part of the movie either; perhaps it was too grotesque to actually film but...
I'm just surprised the film has gotten such amazing reviews.
