Summary: Kill Bill Vol. 1
Review: This Kill Bill Vol. 1 movie is a great thrill and actionpacked ride through revenge. parents suggested you see it first before letting child buy it. It has gore and no moral but it is my favorite movie. al though no moral and an exetreme amount of unrealistic gore, i have to say its my favorite movie.I say its a A+ movie, so entertaining, exetreme amount of unrealistic gore, no maral, but HIGHLY entertaining. so parental supervision first to make sure your child or if you are buying the movie know how the violence is created Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino's movie hits the charts with some shocking and fun for the family 10+ (if their mature) and have a good time.

Summary: Very Cool!!!
Review: This is by far one of the best movies you will ever see.Its cool,hip,fast,slow when it needs to.Its a movie with style.Writer-Director Quentin Tarantino just knows how to make great movies.The action is mesmorizing and incredible especially the scene of "The House Of Blue Leaves".The dialogue is not what you would expect from a Tarantino film but good inoff for this.Another thing that is Tarantino trademark of putting great music in his films the music helps move the film and get to feel the groove of the it.Also the acting is top nocth.There is graphic violence in this film but not as much as people say i mean ive seen worse.Trust me this not the movie that will make you stop the film because you feel sick.This not Tarantino best film but it is his coolest to me.So stop whatever your doing my friend and go buy this film,you wont regret it.But i have to tell you this there's a special edition of the dvd coming in the near future if you dont want to waste your money on buying it two times.

Summary: I LIKED this movie
Review: Tarantino again creates a movie that is baffling, engaging, revolting, confusing, meandering and forcefully driving, all in one film and often at the same time. Uma Therman's character, known simply as "The Bride" is out to avenge the murders committed at her wedding by her former DiVAS associates (Deadly Viper Assassination Squad). She is will, purpose and revenge incarnate, allowing her superhuman abilities meant to mirror traditional Asian superheroes. Think of the girl in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but instead of just beating people up, she tears them to shreds. Lots of blood and body parts. Her purpose is to avenge, and that's just what she does. She avenges. That's really what the movie is all about. Now, the real impact of a Tarantino movie is that you simply don't know what will happen next. Will the Great Hattori Hanzo, renowned-swordmaker-turned-sushi chef, make us laugh or wind up splattered on the floor? Or both? What's the deal with Go-Go, the 17 year old bodyguard who's unbelievably hot and utterly vicious? And what is the meaning of that wry smile on Lucy Lui, who is like a tigress in her killing and control. Kill Bill is intelligent, well-crafted, insightful moviemaking, which is surprising for such a cheesy concept. It will not "blow you away" the same way Pulp Fiction did the first time you saw it, but it IS classic Tarantino. Whether or not that is a compliment or a deal-breaker is clearly an individual choice.

Summary: An homage to film?
Review: I'm not convinced. Okay, so there were references. Hundreds of them, many of which I surely missed. And many of which unquestionably pleased Quentin Tarentino, but did little for me. And yes, it was stylish, wonderfully visual, drawing from a huge range of styles. But it was silly. Just...Plain...(dramatic pause, last word spoken in Japanese)...Silly. Okay, willing suspension of disbelief is one thing, and I grant that I didn't have enough of this. If I'd have approached the movie as filmic manga, then I should have appreciated it. But instead I approached it as a Quentin Tarentino film; a movie by a guy who loves stylised violence, sure, but who also loves plots with more twists than an anaconda committing sepuku, who writes crazed, wild and unexpected dialogue and whose films never quite let you know where they're going, and when you get there you're thoroughly satisfied about HOW you got there even as you wipe the blood off your brow. None of this was true of Kill Bill. Yes, we're not yet at the end, but this whole movie was a video game of gore with not a plot in sight. The dialogue is lame, the acting--well, there just isn't any. There's loads of stunt work, but no real acting. (I was greatly amused by the reviewer who thinks there wasn't any wire work in this...I've got a bridge for him!) And yes, Uma's gorgeous and so is Lucy, and Darryl's not bad either if you like chicks with eye patches, but they're not given anything to do except give each other cold stares. Kill Bill Vol. 1 was a real disappointment; not so much that it was unwatchable, but I'm not particularly looking forward to Volume 2 at all. Hopefully, once Tarentino gets this "homage" business out of his system he'll get back to doing what he does so very well. But I don't know if his baby of inspiration is still alive.

Summary: This guy needs therapy...
Review: ... but we should le him make some more movies first. I admit anyone who even watches this is probably a little messed up, but oh well. This movie is fantastic, loads of awesome stunts, great action, and interesting plot. Although at times it could be a little boring, or a little too bizarre for me. It was still a wonderful movie! Everyone (provided they're old enough to handle it) should see it! And don't forget volume 2!

Summary: Cool Cult Classic
Review: This movie, probably followed by Part 2, will undoubtedly be a feature in future "must have" lists for your DVD collection. From the opening tribute to the Shaw Brothers kung fu movies, to the abrupt ending, it's an unusual and brilliant movie. Mixing revenge, violence, excellent weapons, blood and gore (lots of it), cartoons, black comedy, and every Asian stereotype known to mankind, Tarantino has turned out a cult classic.

Summary: very offensive and in bad taste
Review: This movie is awful.It is violent,bloody and offensive.The revenge theme is tiring and the dialogue is stupid.If Quentin Tarantino had any credibility as a director before this,he most certainly has lost it.This movie is trash.

Summary: Wow...awesome!
Review: Man...Tarantino is back! And by back, I mean boring! If you like style without substance...Kill Bill! It's got awesome swordfights broken up by pointless moments of dead space and 8th-grade short-story dialogue! It's got one-sided characters! It's got the lamest cliffhanger ever! And it's only half of a movie! Ooh boy! I can't not wait not to see Vol. 2! [...]

Summary: The Big Sleep
Review: I missed watching this one on the big screen, but having watched it on video, I don't think I missed watching it on the big screen :-) Let me qualify myself certainly not a Tarantino hater. I liked Pulp Fiction. A lot. And Jackie Brown. And Reservoir Dogs. And Desperado. Dusk to Dawn was just barely ok, in my opinion. The latest installment from the king of in-your-face-gore is lacklustre, trivial, and eminently boring. There is no semblance of logic, the scenes are randomly strung together, the acting is tired, the fight scenes are WAAYYY too long and tedious, and I amd tired of listening to japanese bartenders who double as zen masters when business is slow. Bad people did bad things to the heroine. She goes on a globetrotting mission to get even. But does it have to drag so interminably so? Does blood really gush like 10 fire hydrants from a severed limb? The sets are tacky beyond wildest belief. The acting is coarse. The storyline is hackneyed and worn threadbare. There is nothing here that hasn't been told in the previous movies. The zen is of the mumbo jumbo 2-minute ramen variety that is laughable at the very least. There are logical chasms here that you could drop the Titanic into. Examples - A strapping 10 foot guy tries to rape a comatose girl in her hospital bed who has been vegetating and atrophying on life support for 4 years. And she bites his tongue off and wrestles him to death. And then she kills the nurse - another able bodied guy by repeatedly banging a door on his head. All this seconds after she snaps out of her 4-year coma. Then she gets into a truck and drives off. Then she gets on a flight to Japan and gets a samurai sword from a bartender. Then she singlehandedly slaughters about 50 Japanese samurai in one go, all armed with heavy duty swords themselves(I guess they were fresh out of bullets in Japan) ...ok, you get it. This is bilge of the highest quality. The one good thing about this movie is that it just saved me spending eight dollars to watch Kill Bill 2. I will probably watch it when it comes out on video. Or better perhaps when it ever gets picked up by TBS or TNT :-) My advice to you is to do the same.

Summary: Why must there be volumes?
Review: What happened to the good old days when movies had a beginning and an end and that was it? People moved on, did other projects, and tried to expand thier boundries with new ideas. Today it seems that it's all about the sequel. Don't get me wrong, I agree that Lord Of The Rings must be shown in three seperate parts, but Bill too? Oh well, such is money making - oops, I mean movie making. On to the review. This movie was.... odd... but in a good way. Never has there been a movie shown in black and white, color, and anime all in one. The violence was over dramaticised, but it was obviously done on purpose. Odd touch, Quint. The Bushido and martial arts remained plausable unlike Pooping Tiger, Squating Dragon - which is a good thing. I prefer Jackie Chan style plausability in my martial arts. High wire special effects stuff tells me that either the actors were not physically able to perform the stunt (IE. too many twinkies), or we're going "comic book" where action is concerned. Either way, not entertaining. The actors did a good job in thier respective roles, and casting was pretty damn good where that goes. Lucy Liu is beautiful, and did a great job. Uma, kudos for your phisical work. Julie Dryfus (who's she (?), and Damn, she's hot), Vivica Fox, Michael Madsen, David Carradine, all great picks. But as for Darryl Hannah? Not sure what happened there. She's just not bad guy material. Entertaining movie, but wouldn't own it. PS. To the whiners that said there was too much violence, you're whiners! "Kung Foo" movies are violent, go read heart warming stories that you can find in your bible - oh wait, there are none. How about the crucifiction of Christ, that one always gets me all warm and tingley! Say a prayer, eat a holy wafer, and get over it!
