Kill Bill is superb!
I did enjoy your review Ahnk.
Though I can't believe you didn't mention anything about the Oren Ishi sequence!
(the whole animated sequence depicting her history) A very shrewd and creative way of getting a highly taboo subject past the censors, and so well done too! but then there is just so much in it!
Kill Bill 2 (don't worry no spoiler here) actually has a very different feel to it, I'd say its a lot more... serious, plus the storyline gets deeper.
I really enjoyed both of them, the first couple of films I've been excited about in a long time.
