This movie was great! It was funny and action packed! From a blood hungry bride to a Japanese schoolgirl who can wield a ball and chain it was a great movie. Very good storyline too I believe.

This and the sequel to this movie are still my favorite movies of ALL TIME. Loved everything about it. yes it's rather gory, but it almost doesn't seem that gory given that's it's given in such a cartoon-ish way, which i Love. I'm utterly amazed that the critics for this movie are so low, i can't get enough of the movie. GREAT fight scenes, and i love how they add little funny tidbits throughout that story, as well as add quirky sounds throughout the movie, it really keep my attention every single time i watch it. Thumbs WAY up!!!… Expand

Kill Bill isn't supposed to be believable. Kill Bill is: gory, ridiculous, It's pure, unfiltered Tarantino. Kill Bill is: Cool. Brilliant, timeless classic, which is exactly what to expect from Quentin. Vol 1 and 2 are one of those kind of movies that I have to watch every time I see it on cable. It just never gets old.

What?? I watched the best fight scene on my whole life this morning. I couldnt stop and watched vol2 too on the same day. It was total blood bath and i loved it. It would be an insult to to give this movie anything but 10 :)

Smart, funny, very well performed and directed, a reference in the non-asiatic ninja film history. Like always with Tarantino, all the characters are awesome, and you can do a spin-off with every one of them. Really.

I like volume 2 more then volume 1 but it is my favourite film!

Visually stunning and magnificently gory, KIll Bill Vol. 1 is one of Tarintino's best films in my opinion. After The Bride, Uma Thurman, was betrayed by her boss, Bill, she is slapped in to a coma and left to wonder what happened to her baby. With an interesting story to complement beautiful violence, Kill Bill Vol. 1 is a true masterpiece.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 is a masterpiece. Vengeance, justice and kung fu are combined to create an entertaining action film. Uma Thurman plays the main female character who slices her way through bad guys.

Only few would dare to make a movie as insane as this, and Tarantino made it brilliant. A gripping revenge story that doesn't hold anything back. It was all over the place in style, direction, and musically which just made it completely original. Unexpectedly very funny and epic at the same time. One of the best!

This film is a combination of everything I love: Japanese cultural aspects, swordplay, a revenge plot, philosophy, and above all else, wit. Definitely one of the greatest films I've ever seen.

This movie is probably the closest I've seen any movie come to imitating a japanese anime. And for me, that's a very good thing. Kill Bill is just surrounded in so much style, it practically puts the film in a league of its own. The action scenes are the best I've seen since Matrix: Reloaded. This film is very bloody, but not like a Jason movie. It would be more accurate to say the over-the-top blood content helps increase the feel of Kill Bill. The acting is top-notch, and without a doubt, Uma Thurman performs fantastically. I could've easily watched vol. 1 and 2 together for three hours straight. I never got bored of it.… Expand

Well you have to realize that we have only seen half of the movie. Can't judge Citizen Kane, or Casablanca if you only saw half of it. God forbid they have an intermission. Imagine what Akira Kurosawa's film Seven Samuri would be like if it was released today. Would they break it into 3 sections. Seven Samuri Vol. 1, 2 and 3? Or would distributor really want people to sit though a 4.5 hour long movie with a 15 min. intermission? My only complaint is I wish they would show what "the bride" was while a-mother-to-be and a-wife-to -be. So we can great an idea of how good her life was and how bad it got so quickly. If they did this more people would be cheering for black mambo. Who knows they might have some of that in the other half. Go see it now. … Expand

Pure. There's a one word review for you: pure. Not morally pure, or spiritually pure, cinematically pure. Like 2001: A Space Oddysey, Kill Bill is not about things, it is things. At first glance, it's a little style-over-substanceish, but delve deeper and it's clear that it's ALL style, to the extent that the style IS the substance. It must be said, though, that this makes for something of a cocktail in too small a glass, with so many tricks and stylistic doodahs going off at the same time. QT is palpably drunk on filmmaking - but it still works. Think of it as his 1941, only better. Besides, the director of 1941's gone on to do alright for himself. It's really difficult to recommend Kill Bill - critics in this country have savaged it, partly because they miss the point, but also because it's a very Marmite sort of film - so the best I can say is, if you like this sort of thing, this sort of thing you like. And even if you don't, it's brilliant, in its own slightly psychotic way.… Expand

Its worth noting how strong people's reactions are to this film. One one hand, critics say they left feeling nothing and claim the film succeeds in being powerfully emotive; however, they are quick to exhibit extremely harsh reactions to the film. While the film celebrates violence on screen, it appears to be no greater than the violence of the critic's tongue. With that being said, I feel that there is a trend of expectations developing in our critical eye that is damaging to what film represents: film does not need a social agenda -- by requiring it to satisfy your own personal belief systems, you are sacrificing your ability to objectively analyze and study the art. This is clearly a powerful film, with gorgeous imagery, fantastic pacing and tone, and possesses sufficient depth for contemplative and satisfying analysis. Tarentino is a powerful visionary, director auture of our day, and his work should be studied within his own context, not yours. … Expand

Wow! I haven't been this excited about an action movie in a long time. Kill Bill is an extraordinary take on the martial arts action style. It does what last year's Matrix films attempt to do for fight scenes. The scenes are choreographed brilliantly, and the use of cinematography is exceptional. However, as no movie is perfect, it would be unfair to all the movies I bash to not point out Kill Bill's faults. Dialog in parts of the movie is severely lacking (especially for Tarantino), and the concept of the movie itself (a tale of revenge) is painfully linear. The movie seems to move along as expected with no real twists, even though there are plenty of shocking parts. Overall, I think Vol. 1 did a great job setting up this story. Tarantino has said that we "really haven't seen anything, yet," so I'm incredibly anxious to see where Vol. 2 takes us. I recommend this film for anyone who was a fan of Tarantino's previous work, along with anyone longing for a film to return substance to the action genre after last year's crapfest. … Expand

I love reading the comments from those who don't get Tarantino...giggle!

Kill Bill has been one of my most looked forward to movies of the year. I have to be honest with everyone now, I have never seen Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, or Jackie Brown, all I knew is that once I saw an interview with Quinten Tarintino and he seemd to be more than obsessed with kung-fu movies. When I heard he was making a kung-fu movie, I thought it was going to be a fantastic movie, and I wasn't disappointed. The movie is about a bride (whos name is cleverly beeped out whenever somebody says it) who, during her wedding, is brutally slain along with the rest of the wedding party, however, the bride is still alive. She wakes up four years later out for revenge. I don't want to reaveal any more of the story because it was actually suprisingly good. The characters in the movie each have their own very distinct personality, except for the Yakuza henchmen. The action in this movie is really good, which also kind of surprised me because American movies don't seem to have a lot of good kung-fu action in them. This movie is also extremely bloody. Limbs fly, heads roll on the ground, blood gushes unrealistically from almost every stab a character gets. Actually, the blood kind of gives this movie some humor. The unrealistic, 20 gallons of blood from a chopped off arm is laughably cartoonish. But it doesn't really affect the dark mood of the film. Oh and also, the soundtrack to this movie is awesome. I usually don't care for songs in movies because they are usually dull and unmemorable. This movie had songs that got stuck in my head. My only big complaint about this movie is that i have to wait 4 and a half months to see the rest of it. This has got to be the best movie released this year and is definitely going to be one that I will re-watch over and over agin. I haven't even mentioned the anime part of the movie. There is so much going for this movie that I could rant on for weeks. However, people will be disappointed if they walk into this movie expecting one of Quintens other film, from what I've heard, Kill Bill is drastically different from all of his other films.… Expand

This movie was breathtaking. Every aspect of it was incredible: from the lighting to the camera angles and the set design to the makeup. At times the movie became a bit over the top and/or drawn out in length of its scenes, it is still a very satisfying experience and a pleasure to watch. Amazing acting!!

The most enjoyable movie I've seen this year and I've seen a few! It knocks Reloaded into a cocked hat and then some. A, so far, simple story, a motivated main character and varied styles of film all combine to make an absorbing experience which, once again, shows Tarantino on top of his game. Now what am I going to do until Vol. 2 comes out ?

Some scenes run on a bit too long, but this is easily the most kinetic and exuberant film to come down the pike in quite some time. Granted, those looking for a coherent plot or compelling characters are likely to be disappointed, but they aren't likely to attend anyway. This movie isn't about anything but Tarantino's love of movies and his marvelous command of cinematic style. It's expensive, glossy trash, but it's terrific.… Expand

WONDERFUL movie!! truly unique and inventive and the Soundtrack just kicks!!! Great performances/wondeful cinematography ... there's nothing NOT to like in this movie!!!

I've gotta admit, when I first heard that Quentin Tarantino was a big fan of the Hong Kong martial arts action flicks (they don't even deserve to be called "films") I was a little shocked~You know, sort of like if you read about a world class chef being crazy about 7/11 nachos? So of course when I heard that "Kill Bill" was going to be his homage to those same sorry-ass flicks I was ready to skip it. But you know what? He somehow managed to take the elements of that sad and empty-headed genre and transform it into a fun and exciting experience that someone other than a pimply faced nerd could sink his teeth into. Uma Thurman is wonderful as are the other players and the music which accompanies each scene becomes a character in and of itself. Don't believe what you hear about how brutal the action is either; There is indeed a lot of violence but it's done in such an over-the-top manner that it takes on the kind of cringing comical feel of Monty Python and there's no way any intelligent adult could take it seriously. Does it rate up there with "Pulp Fiction"? Well...maybe not quite...but darn close! … Expand

Don't rate this until you've seen the second volume. That said, this movie Kicks Ass.

Was far better than critics seem to be giving it credit for. The action was brilliant and it was just an all out fun movie to go to.

Yes, it's gory; yes, it's shallow; yes, it's reminiscent of other movies. At the same time, if you can get past that, it's an amazing piece of work. It's the film equivalent of a trashy novel: it may lack substance or taste, but it's a great time.

I thought this movie was great. It so saturated with style, and so original. I personally haven't seen a movie with this much gore, and after seeing it a second time I did almost throw up, literally, just because of all of the blood shooting out from everyone. Excellent! This is the first film that has ever made me feel sick because of violence. Incredible. I don't understand why it has such a low score from user reviews, I'm guessing these are older folks who were just so shocked and had to try and let everyone know "This movie is just awful, plain and simple." The people who liked it probably could care less, but one who doesn't like will try to warn everyone else. I showed my friends this flick and they felt the same way about it. When we went to the theater they were kind of like, "Eh, I suppose Ill go," but at the end they were shocked and never expected it to be so good. You have to understand the genius of this film. Are you a person that looks at a tree, and is happy or someone who just thinks, it's a tree?… Expand

It was a typical Tarantino flick that delivered on all fronts. Volume 2 looks to continue the fun, and thats what tarantino is about movie making at its most fun.

I hate Pulp Fiction but liked this movie.

One of Tarintinos Best Movies.

I don't get it either, but I love it. The sum is greater than the separate parts.

Where there isn't poetry, there's action and where there isn't action, there's poetry.

I had some minor reservations about "Kill Bill", since most reviews suggested that the movie was non-stop violence. It's not true. Sure, the movie has beautifully stylized violence and fascinating combat sequences that are much more satisfying than the chop/chop hand-to-hand combat in "Matrix Reloaded". Sure, the last battle has more decapitations than the French Revolution. But, the movie also has style, drive, good pacing, brief-but-terrific characters, and an involving revenge story. it's all done with perfect pitch. It may not have the snappy dialogue of "Pulp Fiction", but that doesn't mean it is lacking in substance, character, or tone. It's just a bit more laconic than his other films. Uma is perfect in the role, and several of the henchmen she goes after have that quirky sensibility of a Saturday kung fu drama. Think of this as the dark, speedy cousin to "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". To boot, it also has Tarantino's trademark ecclectic music: each choice more unexpected, yet perfect, than the last. And don't forget his wry sense of humor -- the scene-opener proves that he's in a league of his own. My only complaint is that they chopped up the film in two parts. It ends with a satisfying "Pow", and doesn't have a cliff-ending. But, I was ready for more. And when I get more, I hope there's more Tarantino-esque dialogue in it. But, if it's more of the same, I'll still be eager to see it. … Expand

Can't wait for the second part.

Well, It wuz OK. I watched it with my friend Sonya and we were laffin like mad man. Oh no snap snap. That Sigourney Weavahh aka: Miss Horney Jeebird, was terrabull in dis movie. I can't balieve dat they let herr in dis movie Oh no snap snap is what I thot when I seen her face on that TV screen. OH no .

One of the most gory, violent, and entertaining movies I have ever seen. I hated the anime though.

I loved it. cant wait to see vol. 2 its a good movie with lots of humor in it.

One of the coolest movies this year. Yes, it is extremely gory to the point of absurdity, the profanity is horrible, and it has some elements in the plot that are just wrong (yeah, like that...ahem), but Kill Bill is honestly just a good time. The action is upbeat and very well choreographed, some of the best fight scenes since Cowboy Bebop. There are also countless homages to old school kung fu flicks and anime, which I really appreciate. If you can handle the ridiculous violence, then go see KB right now. Great movie.… Expand

THIS is the reason I go to the cinema. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Those 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.

Stan J, you're a complete idiot. This movie had awesome visuals and the fighting were spectacular. The guy is JAPANESE, not Chinese. Can't you tell the difference between 2 completely different cultures? Get your facts straight, kid.

Kill Bill may be the best directed film I have ever seen. The film oozes style. Every visual is meant to convey a certain atmosphere, and the construction of these shots is so good, that they do so effortlessly. The movie is simplistic, and has little substance, but I don't mean this as a criticism. Kill Bill is a great film, not because of what happens in it, but because of how it happens. Quentin Tarantino clearly had a lot of influences when making this film, and he put them together perfectly. … Expand

Waaah! this movie is a great cinema masterpiece, even if the story is not deep enough. I would have given 10 if the movie could have been a little bit more developed. Other than that, all was great: The camera view, the music,etc... Anyway i'm too lazy to write more:P

A 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.

A little too much over the top bloody violence. Uma is great in this movie! great story. Highly recommend it!

I must say that I think a lot of the voters here totally missed the point of the movie. It's a heavily stylized tribute to a genre...watching it like a straightforward movie without a sense of humor is like...watching Spaceballs as serious scifi.

69 critic and 6.2 user average ratings??? Are people mad? Though I liked part 2 better, part 1 is way up there, and both DVDs are excellent transfers. Yes, it's graphic, but the violence isn't senseless, just like all of Tarantino's other films... why is Kill Bill treated so differently? Excellent acting, intricate screenplay, character develop and cinematography make it a must-have.… Expand

Kill Bill Vol. 1 is the most exciting movie I have ever f.....g seen. Well, OK, half a movie. Black Mamba (Uma Thurman) has been sent into a coma by an attempt on her life by Bill's (David Carradine) crew of assassins, of which she was one until she wanted out to get married. Coming out of a 4 year coma, she starts a globe trotting revenge tour with her "kill list 5." Here are just some of the movie style characters she portrays on her road to comicbook superheroine revenge satisfaction: Samurai Swordswoman, Helmeted Alien Inquisitor, Knocked-up Texas Bride, Raging Feminista, Jesus H. Christ, Frustrated Mother and Housewife, Bubble Headed Blonde American Tourist, Shapely Video Game Warrior. Scrutiny of movie genres is on the plate as KBV1 eases onto the screen: the mood is struck with the very first image of "Shaw Scope Film Presentations" oriental style placard. Is it a martial arts film? Then the black title card of a jokingly attributed quote, is it a bow to the silent film? A parody? Followed with the black and white film stock, is it a western? Heroine Black Mamba's beaten face in extreme close up as the unseen Bill intones "You probably think me sadistic." Is it noire? Black Mamba saying "Bill, the baby is yours." Is it a mystery? We are given tastes of all these styles of movies and characters in KBV1 and, more often than not, all on the same fork. Or chopstick if you'd rather. KBV1 starts with a close up on gore, fills itself with fantastic, action packed gore, and ends with the threat of tender sudden death. This is not the intensity most audiences settle into without some kind of respite: a love interest, childhood flashbacks, long minutes of tedious exposition with minor characters, or some other mindless distraction to appease their soggy entertainment needs. Here Tarantino gives us "Okinawa, one way" as the essential dialogue to start us on our trip. We don't want or need to know where she gets her money, where she lives, etc etc ad nauseaum. Just give us what we need to propel the action. She's flying off to get her revenge. Thats all we want to know and see. Let me use an example of unnecessarily graphic depictions of violence to help illustrate Tarantino's effective use of cinematic brutality. In the mawkish directing talent of Clint Eastwood (I would not miss a Sean Penn performance, even directed by Pee Wee Herman) I winced at the violence in "Mystic River." Twice. I think it is a failure of filmmaking if your story's tension is so thin, your intent so flimsy, or the consequences so vague, that you can't trust your audience to imagine all the aspects of the impact of a kick to a characters face, without actually having to show the REPEATED kick to the face. The wince added nothing to my understanding of the human pain. Tarantino's brutality usually avoids "real" human violence. In Reservoir Dogs, for instance, he only intimates VERY STRONGLY the cop's ear actually being cut off. The tension is so palpable, when the built-up moment comes, the camera skips to the ear landing on the floor, we feel the pain, and have all the impact we need and desire. The payoff satisfies. Yet Tarantino's ultra-violent sequences are integral, indeed, fundamental, to this story, and set moods of amusement, shock, toe-tapping musicality, athletic endeavor, even subtle and striking beauty. So f..k you Clint. The vast majority of good stories involve some kind of violence, if not to the body then to the soul. (As the matter of fact, doesn't a lot of memorable real life history involve horrendous violence?) When you are paying homage to a vast number of different movies, as Tarantino does, it's natural that you would use vast, different, and relentless physical and emotional violence to do it. In KBV1, Black Mamba does some terrible things to people outside of her superhero circle. In these scenes the actual slashing or aftermath is more implicit than explicit. We see her biting her rapist's lip, the camera swings away and next we see, he is on the floor, dead. The payoff still satisfies. Once Black Mamba is in the realm of superheroine however, all bets are off. Blood gushes like uncapped fire hydrants, eyes are ripped out, legs shot and sliced off in operatic, rhythmic, stylish and juicy fashion. Once the animation sequence takes you to that giddy level of involvement and awe, the sequences of a simple motorcade traveling so stylish and enthralling, I had tears in my eyes from the effectiveness of some of the scenes. The House of Blue Leaves scene is a masterpiece of martial arts action. The mayhem gears up with long takes following our heroine, jolts us into the seriousness of her intentions, then builds up the best 20 minutes of cinematic violence ever filmed. Just when the action is climaxing, another rocking oldies song starts and kicks it into a higher gear of swinging, slashing, and spinning madness. Then the lights go out and another cinematic miracle happens before your eyes as Black Mamba fights as if in a "computer chip" (as my 12 y/o nephew called it, in this day of Celebrity Death Match and stickdeath.com) against a blue screen. There are 3 left to be vanquished in KBV2. And I don't even need it. Vol. 1 has thrilled me like no other movie in my life. Vol. 2 is bound to be pure icing on the cake. I f..king love this movie. Period. Well, half a movie. Period. … Expand

I think this is my favorite Tarantino film. I've seen so many review saying "it was so gory" and the "violence was cheap and fake looking." These comments always make me laugh. You don't get it. This is a homage to kung-fu flicks of the 60's and 70's; they WERE cheap and exaggerated. Most of all they were FUN! If you don't like kung-fu flicks then why on earth would you watch this movie? This is not a soul searching drama, this is KUNG-FU!… Expand

My favourite movie ever. Tarantino has delivered a wonderful cult-style film with a fluent mixture of samurai and western style. The one thing I really noticed was how easily it was to sympathize with almost all of the charaters, especially The Bride and Bill

Kill Bill Volume 1 is a gripping tale of betrayal and vengeance whose only real fault is that it isn't as detailed or captivating as Volume 2. Kill Bill tells the story of The Bride who was betrayed and left for dead in a church in El Paso by her once lover Bill and how when she awoke from a 4 year coma all she wanted was revenge. However that is not the only thing going for it as it is also a satire and a tribute to Kung Fu films in general. Of course Tarantino brings his own directorial flare to the film as well as his signature dialogue but the first volume plays more like a tribute than a film of its own where as the 2nd shines on its own merits and story. If anything it is the concentration on lesser characters like O-Ren Ishii that brings the film down because she is the weakest of the main group of characters (although Lucy Lui's acting is fantastic as always). This concentration seems like a mistake but in a way it does help set up the 2nd by showing how hard it was to take on only 2 of the 5 targets The Bride goes after. However the Hatori Hanzo section of the film does work especially well as it embraces Kung Fu and Samurai film conventions while also allowing for certain comedic elements and also fleshing out The Bride's excellent character before getting into the more action heavy second half of the film. Overall it is one of Tarantino's best works but is just overshadowed by Volume 2 which just does everything that Volume 1 does but does it better.… Expand

Damn, if you where to watch vol 2 before this one (like i did) you would LOVE kill bill vol 1. I can see why people wouldn't like it, seeing how its mostly shooty shooty bangy bangy and very little plot in between (most of this plot is later found in vol 2). But hey, i love it. What can i say, it was one of the first Tarantino movies i ever watched and i love it.

Kill Bill is a film where director and writer Quentin Tarantino tries out various techniques, not to see if they work, but simply for his own enjoyment and to boast of his talent for detail, especially when so many of these techniques are used simultaneously, which has created an unforgettable opening of a two part tale.
Uma Thurman stars as a bruised and beaten woman known simply as ‘Thehe Bride’, who is betrayed on her wedding day by her colleagues, a group of dangerous individuals known as the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, led by Bill (David Carradine).
When they underestimate The Brides will to live, she eventually awakens from a coma and seeks revenge on those who wronged her, and as the opening quote on the screen suggests, “Revenge is a dish best served cold”, and this woman has nothing but cold and calculated on her mind.
Tarantino has told the story in a non-linear fashion, using chapters to split up the story, and incorporating various flashbacks of how exactly the wedding scenario played out. But in regards to the bride, she sets off by making a list of those who portrayed her, and its clear from the beginning that this film was always going to be building to something bigger, does it take anything away from the film? Perhaps a little, it certainly stands on its own two feet, but the fact remains that we are introduced to these various characters but only get a handful of them. Saying that, however, the scenes with these particular members of the Deadly Viper group are fantastically gory, anime and exaggerated tone that only Tarantino is capable of pulling off with such gritty means.
Uma Thurman’s ‘Bride’ is typically cold and in a particular mindset for the film, she delivers her kills with little mercy, perfectly portrayed by Thurman herself, who shows her willingness to throw herself into any role, a junkie in Pulp Fiction and now a deadly assassin.
The final moments of the film, and the build up are quite remarkable. Tarantino utilises his devices including typical Japanese slashers and even Spagetti Westerns to culminate in a massively colourful fight scene, but the final confrontation between the Bride and O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu is a beautifully crafted scene, and a true powerhouse in filmmaking.
For what it lacks in finalising a story, Kill Bill Vol. 1 certainly makes up for in its unique ability to combine visually striking scenes of blood splattered marvel, and Tarantino is truly at his best.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a bloody good time: lots of fake blood, sword fighting and limbs being cut off. The story is threadbare, but Volume 2 gives us the full story and compliments Volume 1, making it better if you ask me. Ms Thurman's acting was admittedly a bit wooden at times, but when she's good, she's good. That scream at the start, where she wakes up in the hospital? PURE GOLD.

And the MUSIC! Twisted Nerve was... well, to put it lightly, it was irritating. The rest of the music is absolutely amazing; i've saved most of it into a playlist on Youtube. One song in particular stands out: The Lonely Shepard. It sounds like a fusion between East and West, incorporating a flute in to begin with and bringing in guitars and trumpets... It's the most triumphant song I have ever heard. Look it up, NOW.

And the CAST! Uma Thurman brought her best, finally breaking into the lead spot after her part in another Tarantino affair Pulp Fiction. DAVID **** CARRADINE plays the titular Bill. Lucy Liu, who was the hottest thing in the world after the Charlie's Angels movie skyrocketed, plays this movie's "antagonist". Sonny Chiba is by far the most charming character in this film, playing portly little Hattori Hanzo. Michael Madsen is in Vol. 2! No-one brings a cast together like Quentin Tarantino, and I don't care who you are or what you smoke, but that's a fact you can't deny.

On its own, it's a marvelous little gore flick. Watching it again after Vol. 2 brings something completely new to it. You just can't lose, unless you're a Fundy looking for a Boogeyman. Give this movie a go, and if you don't like the blood and swearing, go pick up "Ultraviolet" instead.… Expand

I purchased Kill Bill volumes one and two on bluray at black Friday. Today I watched the first Kill Bill and this is what I have too say. The kung fu/ action scenes were a 10 out of 10. The acting was 7 out of 10. And the directing and writing were a 9 out of 10. I enjoyed how sociopathic the movie was, and Thurmans performance. Overall I give this movie a 10 out of 10.

To the average moviegoer,"Kill Bill" comes across as a nuanced film that appears shallow litered with flamboyant violence. And yet nothing could be further from the truth. Remarkably unique blend of various genres drawing from an abundant of influences constructing something very much his own. A bride (Uma Thurman) awakes from a long coma no longer carrying the baby before hand. Only revenge motivates her now to hunt down the assassination team that betrayed her, and once a part of. Breathtaking fight scenes function the same as dance numbers would in a musical. Stunningly beautiful and completely innovative. Highly-stylized, magnificent musical score, dynamic performances all around.… Expand
