StaciGNov 13, 20071The script read like Tarantino was having a conversation with himself. The violence was stylish, but no matter how you wrap it, crap is crap.

KyleH.Jun 5, 200710This was the first Quentin Tarantino movie I have ever seen and I could not stop watching. My eyes were glued to the screen. I was in awe and even the several times after that when I would watch this film everyday while waiting for Volume 2 to be released on DVD. It all just fits together so well with the promise of an excellent second half. This is a must see!

Sep 21, 20115"Kill Bill: Vol 1" is a bloody mess filled with bizarre **** and unique garbage. Director Tarantino's presentation may have been cool or stunning, but it can't save the movie from its terrible plot with shallow depth. He should have made this into a **** anime, not a movie.

DonSMar 1, 20081I Absolutely Hated this movie. It's just an hour and an half of Uma killing a whole lot of people! This movie really sucks. I get angry every time I think about it. >:(

JakeMay 11, 20088Very cool movie. Great Dialogues. Tarantino is my favourite director and even though this film has it's lengths I still enjoy watching this Movie because of the creative way it's shot and all the little details that make this film special.

EddieV.Mar 15, 200910The best vendetta movie ever... Great plot, sensational cast, and superb dialog. Thank you Quentin!

KMMar 19, 200910Love the absolute brutality of the film, great revenge flick.

KendoJJun 10, 20098Make it a 7.6 Very cool, very violent, very sexy. The O-Ren anime scene is brilliant.

-

JoeyK.Aug 8, 20057I'm not a huge enthusiast of Tarantino or this movie, but I liked it and I'm shocked it got as low as a 69. I expected high 70's at the lowest to high 80's at the best. It's a good movie, with interesting style, and plenty to keep your attention. Tarantino screws with reality, it seems, but that's what movies are for, aren't they?

-
-
LucasKJan 4, 20062Wow.... sooo gory... and the blood is super exaggerated.... although the soundtrack was good... This is way overrated.
-
-
NickR.Jan 5, 20069I don't get it either, but I love it. The sum is greater than the separate parts.

JayF.Feb 19, 200610A truly beautiful and violent piece of filmwork from Quentin Tarantino.
-
-
JackB.Apr 22, 200610This movie is one of the best that I've EVER seen. Also, the blood and gore is part of the style.
-
-
AdamH.May 8, 200610This Movie Rocks!!
-
-
MickMay 24, 20060Awful. A well Polished B-Movie does not a good Movie make. Style and no content! Took all that is bad about this genre of film and supersized it.
-
-
jonnyrebJun 2, 200610Kill Bill is the best movie I have ever seen! The story is simple as hell but the amazing style, the humour, the characters, and amazing scene after amazing scene left me in awe. I dont think I could describe how jaw-dropping this movie is in an essay let a lone a paragraph.
-
-
SaigeAug 23, 200610I love this movie. Quentin Tarantino has a pretty twisted mind, but all his corny violence is what makes the movie so great. I loved the anime scene.
-
-
JohnEOct 9, 200610Absolute classic revenge movie, Tarantino gives the genre the respect it reserves. This was obviously a tribute to films that have inspired him, but still had Tarantino's signature touches.
-
-
VenkatR.Dec 25, 200610Amazing movie!! Best action movie ever. Quentin tarantino gives a blockbuster.
-
-
MichaelY.Apr 6, 200710The most exciting moviegoing experience I have ever had in the theater...I don't know whether that makes it a great movie, but it can't hurt. Tarantino pulls out all the stops, showing all of his skills, and gives the audience a helluva ride.
-
-
LyndellK.Sep 19, 200710This Movie Not only is set up in classic QT world with vibrant colors and Crazy places and characters but it is also one of the best filmed movies I've ever seen. And not too mention the end left me out of my seat begging that Vol. 2 would be right after it one of the best movies EVER!
-
-
JaronRSep 21, 200710My favourite movies of all time. Between the over-the-top violence, the brilliant score, and unique (yet firmly stereotypical) characters, you can't lose.

ArleenJan 4, 20040Simply awful with too much blood and gore. People were walking out of the theater in the middle of the film. That says it all.
-
-
JonP.Jan 4, 20041I hated this movie so much... i think tarantino has been sitting around playing too much playstation and taking too much ..... I reckon everything good in the film he stole from the playstation classic Tenchu and everything bad in the film, which was te majority of it... was taken from his ass and the belief in his own hype... get it over it quinti... i know i have.
-
-
MooCowDec 30, 20038Simple story, great visuals. Delivers the great pop-corn action scenes without pandering to the stupidest common denominator. Great characters, beautiful settings, brisk pace. Story is generally lacking in substance(no Tolkein here!), but udderwise very kewl. Will definitely see Part 2.
-

GoliathDec 9, 20030I'm not too good in Spanish but let me give it a whirl. Translated it means Bill sucked.

RobertN.Dec 15, 20031One of the most over rated movies ever : stupid violence, shallow plot, bad rythm.

-
PaulaD.Dec 13, 20030Quite possibly one of the worst films ever made. Blood and violence without any plot. Tarantino is so overrated that it is frightening. If this is all he can do let him retire for good. Avoid.
-
-
FusichinuccaDec 27, 20030This flick sucked big time. A waste of time and money. QT go back into retirement. The only saving grace is watching you who liked it pay to see the same "to be continued" crap in a few months time. The proof will be in the audience who will be one half of what attracted many to think this was another Pulp Fiction? Absolute stinkeroo.
-
-
WendyT.Dec 27, 20030This movie if you want to call it that was pure crap.

BarryP.Dec 29, 20030This flick plain sucked. Don't understand all the hype. Quentin just disappear like forever after this crap.

LeonardD.Dec 19, 200310Its just genius... whoever didnt laugh, didnt get it... whoever was complaining about a "lack of substance" should stop going to movies - this is postmodern perfection.
-

SamK.Dec 11, 20030Sucked big time.
-
-
MaikeldebestDec 12, 20039I loved it. cant wait to see vol. 2 its a good movie with lots of humor in it.
-
-
PaulA.Dec 12, 20038Wonderfully satirical and stylised, making no attempt with itself to be serious. I'm not normally a fan of these kind of films but I loved KB.
-
-
MattH.Dec 14, 200310Awe-inspiring movie magic from a team who understand culture, music, putting stylish violence on screen, in the slightly fantastical Tarantino universe.

CareyG.Dec 4, 20030There are no adjectives to describe other than this was pure sh.t. Too much violence, no plot, just a meandering mess of a movie. Yes, I was very much looking forward to a QT masterpiece, but instead, this was nothing more than the usual commerical garbage that Hollywood churns up capitalizing on a name. I agree QT should retire if this is the best he can do?
-
-
PeytonW.Dec 6, 20036A pretty good movie. Is the violence excessive? Perhaps. So, essentially, whether you like the movie depends on how much you appreciate stylized gore, and the cartoonish depiction of serious issues. Overall, I found it fairly entertaining.

SantiagoP.Dec 6, 20030Guido se la come al igual que tarantino! La verda es que soy re kpo El PEño.

RobertM.Sep 12, 20048Well, it's not deep or anything, but it's fun, cool and entertaining. If you want to see a movie full of stuff that makes you think, this isn't a good movie. If you want pure entertainment and meaningless violence, it rocks.

LockneO.May 31, 200410Kill Bill, Volume 1 is a great example of a fantastic movie. Tarantino succeeds while directing the film in Tokyo, California, and Texas. Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu both play the parts of assassins beautifully. The directing is beautifully accepted. The suspense and drama of this story combine to make an invigorating work of art.

-
-
JasonT.May 28, 20049A superior popcorn flick, both entertaining and hilarious. The anime piece in the middle of the film was brilliant, and was vital in creating the fantasy amosphere the story needs to be successfull.
-
-
DillB.May 30, 200410This is one of the greatest movies of all time. Just the way that they set up the scenes and then execute all of the cool scenes. I am saying this from a director's point of view and this has to be one of the greatest movies of all time. I have already seen it about 200 times and it is still one of my favorite movies and it hasn't gotten old yet.

LeslieOct 24, 20030Very violent trash without any redeeming qualities. Cult status makes this a hit with some twisted minds. If killing mothers in front of 4-year old daughters is entertainment that there is something wrong with me? I don't want to hear the crap that this is a satire. Pure unadulterated vile trash.

GaryF.Nov 19, 20030Nobita, with all due respect you had to be watching something other than what I was seeing? This movie tried to be another Pulp Fiction and failed miserably. All it is about is blood and gore. I failed to see one redeeming quality in this violent piece of trash. Sorry, but let's say we agree to disagree. Avoid at all costs.

McNaughtonOct 26, 20039THIS is the reason I go to the cinema. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

LegolasvmfOct 26, 200310Kill Bill, pure art, i dont want to see matrix now, the fights are more superior and less computer; Kill Bill vol 1 is like putting Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, pulp fiction and Mortal Kombat all together.
-
-
SongK.Oct 27, 200310A movie that pleases you all over. There is so much action, comedy, gore, and fighting. This movie deserves way more. The low rating are from people who have a hard time seeing humor and get offended easily. You have to see this movie if you love fighting and gory movies.

UnzippedZachOct 31, 200310Love it or hate it. loved it because it went places no one ever dares/wants to go. and thats something you dont see everyday in a movie. and so i gave this film a perfect ten because it offend's people and carries a great big set of balls.
-
-
JayK.Oct 29, 20039Don't rate this until you've seen the second volume. That said, this movie Kicks Ass.
-
-
CrazyPJOct 31, 20039Those who dislike this movie either came in expecting to hate it or have no taste in film or theatre. The only main flaw i see in this movie is that it was split in 2. It should have been 1 long clever masterpiece.
-
-
ThomasS.Oct 25, 20030I hated this violent movie. Tarantino is way overrated. Is this the best he could come up with? Just awful. Don't understand these rave reviews.
-
-
70A hyper-violent, hyper-gory, kung-fu grindhouse flick. And there’s nothing at all wrong with that.
-
70Is Kill Bill a homage to great Asian action movies? Yes. Is Tarantino trying to outdo his cherished masters (on a budget that dwarfs their films)? Of course. Is there any other point of any of this? Let's see "Vol. 2."
-
63An incomplete movie, artlessly cleft in the middle. Cinema interruptus.
