First going to say that this movie absolutely ROCKED THE FUCKIN' HOUSE DOWN so that I can next point out the problems I had with the (half) movie:

1) So much build-up and back story for O-ren, and the last fight, which was supposed to be a climax for the House of Blue Leaves chapter... was kind of a let-down. I just figured it would be more elaborate, or breathtaking.

2) The last-minute split is so obvious it hurts. Barely any bride backstory? Michael Madsen in the film for almost 30 seconds? Feh. QT's style doesn't really work with a half-flick.

3) Glaringly bad acting/dialogue delivery: in the kitchen between Veronica Green/The Bride (sounded like angry robots), most between O-ren and the Bride.

4) Again, O-ren deserved a more elaborate death :P.

Somewhat nominal issues. Definitely one of the best action movies out there.. Vol 2 may make it the best, esp when it's released in its unchopped form.
