Senseless violence, senseless violence & more senseless violence. So much that it feels like a joke after the first couple of killings. (There were about 98 more, I think). QT pays homage to Japanese/Hong Kong masters, Sergio Leone, Star Trek and many others. Two things which deserve special mention -- (2) a nice sound track (1) an excellent anime sequence used to portray Lucy Liu's character's origins. I think the movie will give enough and more opportunities for future films by Gus Van Sant and Michael Moore.
Two thumbs up or two thumbs down? I'm not sure. It's more like two thumbs chopped ;-) There will be those inevitable comparisons to PF and RD (I hate JB). This is nothing like QT's previous movies, and comparisons are rather pointless.
On the one hand, I get early movies, and on the other, it is over 13 months since I saw an idli. I do not even recall what they look like ... *shudder*
I liked PoTC ;-) KB Vol 1 didn't bore me at all. I just didn't know if I loved it or not. After reading the complete screenplay, I still don't have an answer. Anyway, the anime sequence itself was paisa vasool.
Oh man!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten ( for shame!) that the release date was yesterday.
Did you check out the script? Just reading it gave me goosepimples. :)
Gangs of New York, when art thou coming to theatres near you? :-(
