Summary: What's better than a Gal with a Sword?!
Review: Holy Moly..what a ride! This movie didn't disappoint. Yes, I love all of QT's movies, but this really stands alone as a great cinematic masterpiece as well as a good story. The use of anime was a great bonus and made the movie have such a different feel from anything else out there. You'll recognize so many genres on this DVD, your head will spin, especially if you were a teenager in the 70's. Uma is at her best--looking all angles and curves as she goes for her prey. The supporting cast is a blast and the sound track, groovy as usual. I didn't even find the gore a problem at all. Somehow it's over-the-top 'pop' gave everything such a surreal quality that my eyes stayed open. I waited for this to come on DVD but really should have seen it on the big screen. We'll proudly put this next to "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction on the Fave Movie shelf!

Summary: This movie what tight!!!!
Review: I loved Kill Bill Volume 1. I can not wait to see Kill Bill Volume 2.

This movie was chopped up just like all of Quentin Tarantino's movies and you had to pay close attention. The fighting scenes were the best. (...) I was really proud of Vivica Fox, I never saw her in a fight scene and I throroughly enjoyed it. It was so good that I was disappointed in the end that she did Kill Bill.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watch for What it is and Enjoy!
Review: This movie is a modern take on classic kung-fu movies. It would seem to me that the only people who understand this are the ones who are fans of kung-fu movies, or able to see when something is supposed to be a certain way for a certain reason.

Throughout the movie people lose limbs and shoot blood like crazy. I have heard complaints that it is cheasy and un-realistic. ok, time to get out of your box people. The reason it is like that is because that is how the old samurai and kung-fu movies are. This theme is demonstrated throughout along with the music and sound effects.

Kill Bill v.1 is non-stop action. From beginning to end it grips you into the story; which is very intriguing in itself. The story is great, and the film being shot out of sequence in chapter form makes you pay attention to what is going on even more.

My advice would be not to see Kill Bill v.2 before seeing v.1. Because they are actually one whole movie done in two parts. Because KB2 is more story line than action it may turn you away. KB2 is more enjoyabe after seeing the KB1 and you are already pulled into the story.

Summary: Silly rabbit, trix are for kids
Review: Kill Bill Volume 1, in my opinion, is a phenomenon. If you haven't seen this yet, then rent it immediately. I think everyone should experience this extremely awesome movie.

This movie begins violent, and ends the same. If you are squeamish, then you shouldn't see this movie, but for everyone else, you must see this. Vivica A. Fox and Lucy Liu are awesome villains, cursing and cutting their way into these new roles. I haven't heard Lucy Liu sound anything like her role as O-Ren Ishii. Vivica A. Fox is pretty funny, in a strange way as Vernita Green. But the most outstanding actress in this movie would most definitely be Uma Thurman as the woman looking for revenge against the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, her former workers. The DiVAS consist of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox), Budd (Michael Madsen), Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), and Bill (David Carradine).

There are really only two ultimately violent scenes in the movie, and they're both strictly edited. One is in animation and one is in black and white. The animation is the part about O-Ren's Origin, and the black and white scene is the Battle at the House of Blue Leaves.

My favorite scene is The Battle at the House of Blue Leaves, including the Gogo fight, the Crazy 88's, and the O-Ren fight. Gogo, the crazy 17-year-old, is definitely my favorite character, besides The Bride (who gets a name in the sequel, in case you were wondering).

Overall, this violent yet awesome movie is soooo totally cool. It is the best movie I've seen, but probably not the best Quentin Tarantino movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yummy!
Review: This movie is the absolute cream of the crap, vile rubbish for the true connoisseur. Kunfoo, Anime, chicks fighting with swords, blood spewing and splattering all over the place... It is better than being 13 again hanging out in your tree fort with a stack of new comic books and a six pack of beer you swiped from the old man.

It is like Gwar, Shakespeare, comic books, beer, kungfoo and wrestling all wrapped together... topped with whipped cream AND sprinkles.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tarantino's Violent Cheese-Fest
Review: I liked this film so much more than I thought I would. It clearly does not take itself too seriously; the trademark violence found in every Quentin Tarantino flick is present here also, but it's so over the top, it's cartoonish. Supposedly, gallons upon gallons of fake blood were used in the making of "Kill Bill", which was originally intended to be released as one complete, 3+ hour movie, but then it was split into two volumes so as not to make the moviegoer sit through a marathon, as in the case of the three "Lord Of The Rings" films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Won't Get Fooled Again!
Review: According to Boston Globe pop critic Renee Graham, Miramax COO Rick Sands--referring to the "Kill Bill" franchise-- recently told the New York Times: "Vol. 1 goes out, Vol. 2 goes out, then Vol. 1 Special Edition, Vol. 2 Special Edition, the two-pack, then the Tarantino collection as a boxed set for Christmas. ... It's called multiple bites at the apple."

Multiple bites at the apple? Give me a break. We deserve better than this as consumers, especially in times likes these, with our crap economy, rising unemployment and skyrocketing prices at the pump. Remember all of those editions of "Lord of the Rings"? And how they released "Dawn of the Dead" just recently, with plans for a 2-disc cumulative DVD later this year? How much did YOU pay just to ensure that you had the DVD with the most goodies? I know I've paid plenty, and now I'm done.

"Kill Bill" is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I give it five stars--the art direction is exquisite, the anime scene is awesome, and Tarentino scores bravura performances from his leading ladies--but I'll wait until Miramax is done trying to exploit us before I buy it on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tarantino at his best
Review: This film is simply amazing. From the opening scene to the final revelation, this movie is one of my favorite of all time. I originally saw it in the theaters and loved it. Since I bought the DVD I have watched it at least 15 times. Film making at its best here folks. I hope Tarantino puts both volumes together as one movie as a special edition in the near future. One more thing. I saw a review comparing this to The Passion. Let me just say, that both films are completely different and comparing the two is like comparing a Da Vinci to a log in the toilet. Kill Bill is a work of pure genius while The Passion is a work of religious masochism. If you want to be guilted back to church, go see The Passion. If you want to be entertained and blown away by a master of film making at his best, buy this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Movie Of All Time
Review: This is the best movie of all time. Blows Lord Of The Rings out of the water. Kill Bill has everything in it, action, blood, black and white, flashbacks, a great soundtrack, and everything else. Quentin Tarantino went all out with this movie. Kill Bill 2 is the second best movie of all time.
