While I can appreciate why some critics are lauding this, and I grok the tribute to the genre(s) Tarantino paid with "Kill Bill." But IMO, part of a (talented) movie-maker's art is telling a story within a reasonable length of time and there's no defense for taking two full movie sessions to tell a single story (especially one as shallow as this); under no conditions can Vol 1 be considered a stand-alone movie. ...although I guess one *could* praise him on having found a way to charge people $15-$20 for a single movie, by providing them with a very LONG intermission. <snort> -Camisade (Kevin Higgins) "Si totus est non ordine, persequi tuam, odio mei amici preacelci contemplori."
