And here's where QT became completely unhinged and he hasn't recovered since
Vol. 1 remains a dope action flick. fukkery on top of fukkery but I'll be damned if it still isn't a good watch.
Vol. 2., well....not a bad flick at all, but this is where QT starts incorporating all those super long masturbatory dialogue scenes in his films. We've reached the climax of the movie and you're forcing the viewer to listen to Bill droll on about the dichotomy of superheroes and their alter-egos and the origin of Superman for 20 minutes? Doesn't really help that the whole movie is just slower in general compared to the first. Look, I get he couldn't keep the homage juggling and fukkery going for the entire saga, but for what's essentially a 4 hour movie, the 2nd half shouldn't be that big of a drop from the first.
Still, not a bad experience overall.
