I know YOU liked Kill Bill, but did your friends?

All of my friends loved “Kill Bill”, some more, some less, but almost everyone agreed, that Tarantino did something totally new in a very suspenseful and entertaining way. However, one of my friend is a lot into german art-cinema, and he didn’t like it at all. Says, he doesn’t want to watch it anymore, because the brutality totally turned him off and kinda shocked him, too. This left me a little clueless, well, because there is so much more to gain of this movie than sheer violence, but, hey, everyone his opinion. I also showed it to my father, and he loved it, but for different reasons than I did. He didn’t get all those cinematic quotes, and he doesn’t know a lot of Tarantino in general, but he appreciated the black humour, which was showing in a lot of scenes. He also dug the ending of Vol.2 where it got all emotional with Bill dying (not a spoiler anymore, right?) and the Bride seeing her daughter again. He still has to see the “Showdown in the HOBL” in full glorious, japanese color, though.
