I thouht Kill Bill was very good. I thought the blood was an "artistic" touch if you want to call it that. Is it the Matrix? Hell no. Close? Not even. The whole reason I started this post was because no matter what it is going to be compared to the Matrix sequels. Yuen Wo Ping did the fight scenes, the movie was split in two, the anime touch, I'm sure some people could think of more. I just thought it was great that we finally get some good martial arts films. AND FILMS WITH GOOD STORY!!! Every movie (sci-fi, horror, kung-fu) since the original Matrix and ones out now can't hold a candle to it and its sequels. The Matrix is today's Star Wars. Albeit finding out that Neo isn't the one was not as cool as "Luke I am your Father." This trilogy will be up there with Star Wars, The Godfather, Indiana Jones and Back to the Future. I think its great that we have movies that make you think (even if its just a little) because today's world is filled with crap. Its all just explosions and blood in a pretty bow tie for an MTV audience. Fast and the Furious = crap, Freddy vs Jason = CRAP, LOTR = boring (in my opinion... sorry to those who like it.) Bullet Proof Monk = sigh.... crap, the list goes on and on. and on. The Matrix = very good by todays standards. The "Brothers" are doing something great and they are pushing the boundries of film making. not story telling, but film making. I can guarantee that most people who did not like it just didn't get it. Like my brother who is one for simpled minded movies like those mentioned above (minus LOTR) hated Reloaded. He wanted a new "bullet time" sort of effect and couldnt appreciate the technical wonder that was the brawl or the freeway chase scene (which i live 10mins away from and ill post shots of that area if any one cares to see the real set). anyway i lost my thought....
