Summary: Full circle.
Review: Leaving aside that this non-interactive video game must be one of the most dehumanizing things we have ever seen in the mainstream cinema, consider this: in earliest days of the motion picture, nobody had learned to care about story or character. They just wanted to see the pictures move. And that's exactly what we get here: no story or character, just moving pictures. We end where we began. But in a sorrier condition.

Summary: Fantastic, but don't buy it!
Review: Kill Bill rocks. QT's dark sense of humor kept me rolling on the floor and the cinematic displays are awe-inspiring. It works this way: if you like Quentin Terrantino, you'll like Kill Bill. If you don't, you won't.I would recommend, regardless of my high opinion of this movie, that if you can hold out for the purchase, then do so. Since Kill Bill volumes one and two are actually one movie (not a movie and a sequel), I've a strong feeling that after volume 2 is released, you'll be able to purchase the whole movie as a set. So hang in there if you can - volume two ought to be out on DVD right quick.

Summary: Great, but not Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.
Review: Kill Bill may not have exceeded or surpassed in excellence the masterfully executed Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, or even Jackie Brown, but it certainly was an enjoyment to watch, as well as stocked full of artistic innovation. With far more depth than its plot suggests, this movie runs like a hybrid between Austin Powers and Natural Born Killers, replete with action, animation, surrealism, scenes shot in black and white, and plenty of gore, blood, beheadings, and other stomach churning visions of violence. Heavily influenced by speghetti Westerns, 1960s martial art flicks, and 70s imagery, Kill Bill is a refreshing cinematic experience as compared to the slew of mundane "feel good" films that make up the majority of Hollywood movies. The only thing I felt that Kill Bill lacked was the usual highly humorous dialogue that has been the trademark of Tarantino movies. Also, the drawn out bloodletting at the end of the movie in which Uma Thurman takes on a countless number of sword welding samurais and wins, was a 20 or so minute scene that was difficult to suspend my disbelief for, however, when one realizes that Kill Bill was in many ways attempting to emulate cheesy 60s martial art films, its easier to appreciate the artistic value, and the fight scenes were surely more entertaining than the unresolved, ultra-macho, juvenile excrement of the Matrix films.

Summary: Kill Bill Again and Again
Review: Quentin Tarentino has always been a genius. He can take any genre of film and turn it into gold. Kill Bill Vol. 1 gives new life to the old Kurosawa samurai films and breathes new life into them. Add in some anime and kung fu fighting and you have a hack em and slash em revenge flick for the ages. Uma Thurman plays the Bride, the most bad ass character ever to grace the silver screen. Once a member of the Viper Assassination Squad, now seeking revenge on them for trying to kill her. We get to see every step of her revenge plot unfold. Uma makes revenge seem like childs play as she works her way thru her old co-workers. One of the brightest shining stars in this movie is Chiaki Kuriyama who plays GoGo Yubari. If ever there was a chick that deserves a video game, it's her. She is O-ren Ishii's (Lucy Lui) bodyguard. She is the best thing since fried rice. She's cute, she's cheeky, and she can kick some major butt. This is Quentin's best work yet, and a must see film.

Summary: this one sucks
Review: dont listen to the 5 star reviews. they are all executives from the company tricking people to buy this garbage. it has a documentry, about 6 trailers from the director's movies. and a music video from a asian band. thats it! and for 20 bucks? nonononono!! the movie it self is ok but the only flaws is that it left me dissatisfied because of its ending. and because of the black and white interference in the middle of the fight between the blonde chick and the samurai guys at the restaurant and some other parts of the movie. if you want your money worths get matrix movies full of extra features. an advice of mine is this: always investigate a movie before buying because companies dont put enough extra features to satisfy the customers and then you wait a while and guess what? they are releasing a special edition with other features and that means if you want it you're going have to spend more money. and thats why the mpaa are losing money because their movies are so expensive with something so little for something that should be like 10 bucks or lower. anyway dont buy this movie. rent it first and dont listen to these 5 star reviews they are like wolves in sheeps clothing trying to deceive you. remember you been warned, my friend. have a nice day.

Summary: americans are wussies
Review: at this point, most of the people who are going to see it and would like it have already seen it...and like it. this is for those people. get ahold of the japanese version which has the full uncut version of the movie. no cutting to black and white for one, and about 2 or 3 minutes of added fight for your buck(or yen) for another. i saw that version first and then saw the american version and i noticed quite a difference. all i can say is, i thought amercians were supposed to like senseless violence?! well anyways...get it and see it as it was meant to be seen.

Summary: Action packed?
Review: Revenge is a dish best served cold - so says an old klingon proverb and so starts this movie, the 4th film made by Quinton Tarintino. Kill Bill stars Uma Thurman as "the bride", a woman out for vengence. She has been put in a coma during a massacre involving Bill (David Carradine) who has wiped out her entire wedding party on her wedding day and left her for dead. The bride wakes up from her coma and begins to one by one go after the people responsible. The main problem with this film was not funnily enough the violence (which was quite comical and not at all as bad as I'd been led to believe) but with our friends Quinton's obsession with really bent sexual fetishes. The other main problem for me was that I found this movie a little boring The acting is pretty only ok, with the exception of Lucy Lui, check her out in the superior film "Cypher." Now if your interested in crime dramas, do yourself a favour and get "mercy streets" from amazon starring Eric Roberts, it's got great action, great story, great music, it's cooler than Quinton!!

Summary: Overly violent, theatrically masterful
Review: Quentin Tarantino had already mastered the art of directing by "Pulp Fiction" and in "Kill Bill" he continues his normal stride of shots and scene-crafting that seems to emanate from a natural talent and cool confidence of someone who was born to do what he does. First the good news; "Kill Bill" is a good movie, highly watchable, enjoyable, and is thoroughly "Tarantinian" in style and mojo. With Tarantino it's always the little highlights that get all the attention (such as when a character is knocked over, and the sound of bowling pins being knocked down is edited into the track). Also with Tarantino is the evanescence of geekiness. There have been works written about the homages to Japanimation or "Anime" films that Tarantino seems to cherish, such as "the sound of the sword slash was borrowed from such-and-such film," and "the style of attack used by "The Bride" is reminiscent of such-and-such" and on and on. I'm not interested by anime, nor does Tarantino's fascination with it excite me. It's merely there, and I accept it. The bad news: the film is horrifically violent. Blood is everywhere, people with limbs chopped off writhe on the ground in pain, children are present at the murder of their parents. This is a cruel movie made by a film geek who views film as a vessel for flight from a certain "decency." While I am against censorship in any form, I am for good taste (such concepts get confused these days). I don't think Tarantino exercises good taste with some of his decisions, especially utilizing the style of anime, which is an inherently violent genre. For example, part of the film is actually anime, and yet there is no separation of reality from the footage of real actors and the footage of cartoons. Blood spurts from wounds like an opened firehose in both cases, which is neither in good taste, nor is it appealing. There is no significance to such mass quantities of blood or suffering, it's merely an allusion to anime. All that gore is really in place to glorify cruelty, and the use of an assassin as the main plot-mover is evidence of this. More evidence is the list she keeps of all the people who have wronged her, and she crosses them off one-by-one as she eliminates them. Basically, there is no other recourse in this reality except complete retribution, therefore no mercy or compassion. The movie is about cruelty, and it paints cruelty in an extremely shining light. After a while, the blood and suffering because boring, and you wish that Thurman's character would simply Kill Bill and have it done with. The idea of not revealing Thurman's character's name (simply referring to her as "The Bride") is not a new idea in film, nor is it really necessary here. Tarantino has no intention about making a point of namelessness in the realm of assassination, and "Fight Club" is the only movie that comes to mind that has pulled off the nameless-character bit with success. Reason: I don't care if I know The Bride's name or not. I'm sure opinions will change once I see "Kill Bill 2," but I'm only anticipating more violence, more amplified gore, and more of Tarantino's anime-flavored dialogue which is so out of his realm that the usual giddiness of hearing the F-word thrown out in rapid-fire succession doesn't crop up.

Summary: Flashy.
Review: This movie looks incredible. The action sequences are top-notch. There are lots of impressive stunts and swordfights captured with expert cinematography. Kill Bill is absolutey dripping with style. The problem is, this Tarantino picture comes across a lot more self-conscious than his previous films. It's like when someone can't tell a joke because they're so caught up in how clever they are. Also absent are his snappy dialogue and his usual command of non-linear storytelling. This dialogue is often hokey and cloddish. He does do the non-linear thing again, but this time it's lop-sided. It doesn't flow as seamlessly as I expect a Tarantino script to flow. Now, the good stuff; did I mention that the film looks good? "Slick" does not even begin to describe the look of this movie. The last fight sequence in which Uma Thurman's character battles at least 100 men and women, is really a lot of fun. If you are a fan of splatter movies or kung fu movies or especially splatter/kung fu movies, you will want to see this movie for this scene if nothing else. The four stars are for the eye-candy. As far as characters or story, this is not Tarantino's best film. People talk about how derivitive this movie is, and rightly so. No one ever mentions how much he has been influenced by Miike. I hate to say it, but if you want to watch a real samurai flick with lots of arterial spray and humor and interesting characters, watch Dead or Alive or Ichi the Killer. Then watch Kill Bill again with a fresh perspective.
