Quentin Tarantino'sKill Bill, Vol. 1is trash for connoisseurs. From his opening gambit (including a "Shaw-Scope" logo and gaudy '70s-vintage "Our Feature Presentation" title card) to his cliffhanger finale (a teasing lead-in … see full wiki

Classic Tarantino

This is a wonderful, postmodern plundering of kung-fu, rape-revenge, and cult action movies. In Kill Bill, Tarantino deferentially revisits the 70s(ish) genre film with his typical style and wit. It's every bit as good as Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. The major short-coming is the DVD itself. There is next to nothing in the way of extra features. This is inexcusable for a major studio release of a major studio film. The DVD includes a brief featurette that, as usual, spends … more

Don't mess with Uma

I've been fascinated with this movie ever since it came out. This movie being a revenge plot is very pulpy. Plus the actors are all quite up to that task. They all go about chewing up the scenery, which fits quite nicely into the film as its set up. Thurma takes the lead as The Bride with much vigor and attitude because The Bride is pissed. There are several film genres here and the best is the back story on Lucy Liu's character when the film switches to Japanese anime to set up the … more

A different type of action flick!

If you liked a movie like Pulp Fiction (I believe it was from Tarantino too) you will definately like this film. It is sliced into chapters that are each individual stories which do not happen in sequential order. Each chapter is excellent in itself (one chapter is done in animation) and the only reason I didn't rate the movie higher is the time sequencing sometimes gets confusing and by the end of the movie you still don't understand what happened to have Uma Thurman's wedding party attacked. &nbs … more

The Blood-Spattered Bride

The opening shot of "Kill Bill" is one of the most memorable I can recall: in stark black and white, a woman's face -- almost unrecognizable as Uma Thurman's at first -- spattered with blood, coated in sweat, a bridal veil spread out beneath her. She gasps, clearly in pain, as a hand reaches in to wipe some of the blood and sweat from her face with a handkerchief. The handkerchief bears the name "Bill" on it. A voice (Bill's, we presume) speaks to her. The Bride's first words, just preceding the … more

I loved this DVD

Kill Bill is Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece. He has combined elements of king fu movies, old Japanese samurai shows, and cowboy westerns to create a great action movie. Uma Thurman is so great as a former assassin who turns into an angry bride focused on revenge on everyone after her wedding and life are ruined. This movie is non stop action from beginning to end. I loved the scene where Uma takes on a roomful of assassins with black masks and swords and kills them all. Every fight scene is fun … more

My fave movie~

After the first thirty minutes, of shock and gore, I found myself sinking in to the story! I have been waititng for it for months (...) since i found about it on the internet. Uma Thurman plays Black Mamba who has a score to settle with her old friends who turned on her. She is great in it, in her yellow biker suit (...) literally flyig in the air and doing some of the most unbelievable figting sequences possible. I have never though of Uma as tha t kind of actress, but she does it so … more
