I think it's a masterpiece.
Action, plot, dialogue, the manga anime sequence, cinematography, emotions, characters, acting, fight scenes, direction and music all perfect!!!!
I really wanted to like it since I loved Tarantino's previous movies, but it just didn't work for me. It had some interesting ideas, but it wanted to be too many different things at the same time making it a mess. Some segments just lasted way too long, it was actually quite boring at times.
shareIt hasn’t aged well. I agree with Strat that Tarentino does not know how to murder his darlings, and some scenes are snooze-inducing—and I have both volumes in my video library, so I know the work quite well. It really should be re-cut into one film, which I’ve always thought that it would be. As the 2 films stand today, KB 1 is mostly action, and ZB 2 is mostly exposition. Meld them into a coherent whole. That might be a masterpiece. What we have now is an entertaining masturbationpiece that does not meet Hitchcock’s criterion for a great movie: Three great scenes, NO bad scenes.
shareI don't agree but i respect your opinion.
I like it more as two seperate parts because 1 is an action flick, while 2 is a dramatic adventure. They are very different.
Yes, I agree that re-cutting it into one movie would improve it. Trim all the segments down to make it all more tight.
shareIt's alright.
shareI love it. Good movie, very entertaining. One of my favorites.
(I'm counting both parts together of course)
It actually took me a second viewing to appreciate it
