As part of my Quentin Tarantino marathon in preparation for Django Unchained, I have finally finished his two-part revenge tale, Kill Bill. And before I go any further, I view Vol. 1 and 2 as one whole film, and will be reviewing it as one whole film, hence why I'm just reviewing this. Now I know there's a difference between The Whole Bloody Affair and watching Vol. 1 and 2 back to back, but fuck it, I'm lazy.

Here, we have an entirely different Tarantino. While his first three films were small crime films, this is a much bigger, more ambitious picture. Much more stylistic, more action-packed, more genre-packed, etc. It completes his journey from director to filmmaker. And my…

Settling once and for all whether or not the saga was intended one way or the other (though the answer, to me anyhow, was obvious from the get-go), I decided to throw them back to back, lop of the closing credits to the one formerly titled Vol. 1 and the opening credits of the one formerly titled Vol. 2 and eat the whole meal without waiting a ludicrous six months between bites. The verdict is a mixed blessing - but not because of the full ingestion, as you're thinking; It will be impossible - short of hypnosis or amnesia - to see the thing as one sprawling, Leone-esque epic.

In March of 2011, fans of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were able to see the film the way it was meant to be seen, one right after the other with only a 15 minute intermission in between. The whole film runs nearly 4 1/2 hours with the intermission, and a few scenes are included that weren’t in the original theatrical run of either movie, while some extra color was added as well. The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles, CA showed the movie as part of a week of sold out shows.

Kill Bill tells the story of The Bride (Uma Thurman), who on her wedding rehearsal day is brutally beaten,…
