I'm almost embarrassed that I thought it was good when I was a kid. Because I was too young to understand the bad points and let's face it, we don't have high demands of quality when we are young. I thought power rangers had good acting then... riiight moving swiftly on.

Anyway I watched it again a year or so ago when it was on TV and realised just how innocent I must have been.

Not only is this film crap, but its pro American theme that is used to carry the story really made me cringe... HARD.

Its like a serious version of Team America. I'm sure the point of this was to have Americans coming out of the "Movie Theatre" (Cinema to you and I) jumping up and down with their lassoes screaming YEAH!!! YEAH!!!. ... Read More:

I already owned this film on DVD and loved it. I bought the Blue-ray edition to get even more out of such a great film. What Amazon don't tell u is that this edition is an edited version which in reality is 9 minutes shorter than my DVD version. My one star rating is purely based on another money spinning project....... no doubt in a year or so we'll get the Blue-ray Directors cut coming out. Unfortunately for me i couldn't return it as I never watched it as soon as it arrived.

Kill Bill was the first Tarantino movie that was release in my time - I'm happy I got to see it when it came out as well - this film is no second rate copycat film in homage to kung fu cinema - it adds so much more.
The Bride (Uma Thurman) is seeking revenge on Bill and his assassination squad for trying to kill `The Bride' on her wedding day, and placing her into a coma for four years.
What makes this film so great (to me Volume 1 + 2 is one film split in half) is that for the first 90 mins we get 100% adrenaline, action that is pure grin inducing. The Crazy 88 scenes (even better on the Japanese uncut DVD release) are out of this world - its ultra violence at its height and also cinematic art that you don't get to see very often.

I definately prefer the first movie (two can play that game), but I am a fan of Vivica, so I thought I would try it. Well it didn't really live up to my expectations and was nowhere near as good as the first- but some funny moments nonetheless.

Like the first movie, Vivica is back with more advice on how to get the wedding ring on your finger. Be that through game playing and a few hustles on the side, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. However some games back fire, and as they say all's fair in love and war. And this is exactly what one woman finds out in this movie.

I suspect that this appeals to fans of 'games' rather than films.
Tarantino has undoubtedly proved his talent in the past, but this time was not only trying to be too clever but was aiming at a totally different audience. If you spend hours on your pc playing games or watching cartoons this may appeal. But if you're expecting a film with a half decent plot and a few characters you care about - forget it!

A humorous film that men and women will enjoy.Three women date the same man to see who can win his heart.These women are smoking hot and the film is very funny at times.There is a nice twist in the plot but on the whole the storyline is nothing special and the dialogue isn't oscar worthy.However I've watched the film twice so it's worth 3 stars.Definitely worth seeing if you want some light entertainment for 90 minutes.No bonus features on the disc.

Well I will agree that this is not for those looking for a serious film! Nor is for those who wish to look at it from a 'PC political correctness' point of view!
It is just good fun! Cuba is well cast as a straight bloke
trying-to-look-gay! There is plenty of sillyness - such as the swedish tanning team, the camp card players and the dancing revue - all of these elements make for a really good laugh!
None of my gay mates look or act like the characters in the film - its just a comedy film - not a docummentary!!!

DVD : Batman And Robin [1997]
I am life long Batman fan and this film made me feel physically sick and almost brought on tears of despair. There is no redeeming features in this movie and should be deleted from existence. Thank goodness the new films have shown how to really do Batman. I feel I may have wasted my time even lowering myself to comment on this piece of trash. Just don't ever buy this film. It deserves negative stars.
