Kill Bill volume 1

[jarmusawa]

is the budget of 50mil for both volumes? if its thats 25 mil a volume. then take in account the actors salarys. then all the extras and stunt people. then costumes and locations. then all of the blood and limbs created. thats not very expensive in comparison with every other action flick out there.

if youre looking for a witty signature, youre looking in the wrong place.

I like the Matrix, probably more than I did Kill Bill

But, I have to say, Kill Bill is not just a hack em up film

Its quite solid, its Tarantino for goodness sake!

But Matrix Reloaded was awful, god damn CGI fighting ruined everything.

Reloaded had very poor fighting, average camera work, poor acting, horrible music (not don davis score, but like songs), some out-of-this world **** dialogue and some pretty nifty lines. All in all, reloaded is a very poor film when compared to Kill Bill or the original Matrix.

Actually I thought the Bride & Vernita Greene dialogue was a little stilted. Worst moment in the movie for me, mostly because the two actresses were too wooden for the melodrama of the lines.

And as for the Matrix series, i find the movies too pretentious. They try to create a level of theme and subtext that just isn't there. Kill Bill is an unapologetic action movie. The Matrix tries to pass itself off as some great philosophical text which will revolutionize modern thought, and yet can't seem to convey its message without the most dumbed down, transparent, heavy handed level of exposition.

The Animatrix worked for me. There was subtlety in those stories. The Matrix movies had no such attribute. I will go see the third Matrix movie, I have hopes that it will reveal something that will make me appreciate the first two movies. But I'm disappointed that I can't appreciate them on their own.
