(Review of Vol 1 and Vol 2).
Brilliant movie(s).
A young woman is shot and left for dead at her wedding. Her entire wedding party is massacred in cold blood. After four years in a coma she awakes and systematically sets out to wreak revenge on the people responsible, especially their leader, Bill...
Fantastic movie in two parts, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Solid, original plot, good character depth, cool dialogue (as you would expect from Tarantino), good action scenes. Good use too of time-jumps, a Tarantino trademark.
Good performances too.
Of the two movies, I preferred Vol 2 to Vol 1 (though there is not much in it - Vol 2 is a 10, Vol 1 a 9). Vol 1 was more about action, with a massive fight scene towards the end. It had plot, but was more the start of a plot, with many loose threads.
Vol 2 had plot development and character development and was less about action (though there was still enough of it). Thus more substance in Vol 2, more style in Vol 1, and substance beats style.
