I saw it today... Didn't really like it.

Vol 1 & 2 are really 1 amazing 2 hour film, uncut and spread out over 2 2 1/2 hr films, but individually I think they don't fair as well as what could have been.

It's going to be a love it or hate it film, a lot of my fellow critics seemed to like it.

Saw it today aswell. I loved it. The action wasn't as packed as the first but the dialogue is great stuff. the pacing was good. I'm sure some will not like the fact that there isn't a crazy 88's battle or something of the such, but the fight between ELLE and The Bride is simply amazing. I loved the fights, I loved the down time. It took it's time to get through and tell the back story and it filled in nicely. Loved it. Loved it. LOVED IT

What'd you think of the multiple end credit thing? I thought it was kind of out of place, but interesting in the least bit.

I didn't find the multple end credits out of place. What was really noticable was the extended credit time given to gogo while everyone else's was half of that at the very least.

The film has plenty of feet shots so get ready for those ugly toes.

How do so many of you guys see these movies up to two weeks in advance?

I haven't seen either movie yet, but according to IGN's review of Vol. 1 Uma has some pretty nasty lookin' feet. (pic included, if you go to their review).

I personally have a very good friend who works for Allied-Solomon/Friedman here in the area. They are promotions company that handle all of the promo events for the major studios. Thus, I go to the public screenings/press screenings for the area and see all of the movies.

Hollywood Reporter put up their review...

...and I thought Ebert and Roeper gushed a bit.

Has some spoilers from #1.

through either advance test/preview screenings as mentioned by the other poster or just studio screenings.

All are part of the hollywood formula to get good word of mouth out early.

QT's foot fetish is there indeed.

I guess living in L.A. or Souther Caly gives you access to more advacne screenings.

The most advance screening I ever got was one of Big Fish on December 15th when it didn't open until Jan. 9th nationwide, and even then it was a final cut I saw.

They're really her's. I don't think Tarantino would pay for an orangutan just for a couple of closeups.

Well, everything else about her is awesome. Feet can always be fixed with a peticure.

No! Now you've done it. Now someone's gonna post a picture of her feet just to prove you wrong!

Hehe, well here's the thing. Uma had very nice sexy feet in Pulp Fiction. Right after she "powders her nose" she comes down barefoot to tell Vincent she's ready? Well, the whole shot is of her feet (again, this reveals Quinton's foot fetish), and her feet look fabulous! So she has the potential for very clean, sexy feet.

They just showed an extended preview on Entertainment Tonight - I can't wait any longer for this one. It looks fan-freakin'-tastic.

To Scott,Steebo,William,Jack,and GK. Doesn't it feel odd to see the actual movie before the theatrical trailer came out?

I love Bill's Crazy 88 line

So she went through all 88 people to get to O-ren?
There isn't really 88 of them, they just call themselves that


Good stuff.

The Texas funeral scene had me surprised, I didn't know buck Budd was going to put up that much of a fight considering all the trailers in Vol 1 were really pointing towards him being the easiest to take out.

Folks who saw it, can you tell me and yes spoil it for me, is bill going to die? The Bride kills him? Heavy spoiler indeed but I just need to know. I've debated with 50 people that she is NOT going to kill him. I guess I am wrong but...Bill lives or dies?

She does kill him in the end, but it's surprising how she does it.

Actually, it's pretty predictable how she does it. The moment when bill stated that mai wouldn't teach it to him I already knew that she was going to learn it and do it to him.
