Summary: excellent movie
Review: Hi, I am a big Quentin Tarantino fan. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is a great movie filled with action, intense fight scenes, and yet humorous in some parts of the film. The action scenes in this movies were incredible. Although I don't think this is Tarantino's best film it's still up there. Uma Thurman's character gets beat up by a squad while she was pregnant on her wedding day and then seeks revenge on them. If you have not seen this film I recommend that you do. This is probably the best movie I have seen for a while. And I am bumped for Vol. 2! I hope this helped you out some.

Summary: Kill Bill Volume One
Review: I like Tarantino. As big of a geek as he is, you gotta appreciate his ability to pay attention to detail but not be overly anal retentive on any one scene. I'm a big geek too. I screamed when I heard there was an anime sequence in the film. I'll first talk about the movie. Its not the movie I'm giving 3 stars. Its the DVD. However, this is NOT Quentin's best film. I love the asian theme's and motifs. Just brilliant. The characters aren't really all that developed but I'm sure they will develop more through dialogue in Volume 2. Which I am looking forward to (I already have my tickets). I'd give the movie 4 stars (out of five). Why not five? The movie is very stylish. Thats its main appeal. But its all style over substance. I didn't like that. A reason I love Pulp Fiction so much is for its characters, which I dont feel close to in this film. Now, I'm not marking this as a bad movie just because its not all what Pulp Fiction is. I know its an entirely different movie, I think Quentin just works better developing story and leaving the style a little to the side. He didn't do that here though, and it was a change. Something that is always good: experimentation. The style is not really always a negative though. Its eyecandy. And that's good. Especially Oren's childhood introduction being told through Japanese Anime. LOVED that idea, and it held the most emotional part of the movie. I just find Volume 1 to be a little underdeveloped. I doubt this is Tarrantino's fault though. Miramax having him cut the movie in half, i'm sure he had to do some really tough editing, and lets hope that volume 2 will make me write a very positive review. Im hoping for big things. The DVD now.
It isn't much to brag about. It has a few extras. A 21 minute documentary on the making of the film, some music video's and trailers. Thats it. I highly suggest you wait until Vol 2 is released with it in a bundle. I'm sure it'll be cramed full of goodies. I know there is plenty to talk about, seeing as how this movie had been planned since 1993, during the making of Pulp Fiction. Overall. A great film with a different twist. Too bad it had to be slashed by Miramax. I hope I don't have to Kill them.

Summary: a horrible movie!
Review: This is a movie filled with rip-offs of other films of the genre,plus fake fight scenes.I wish Quentin Tarentino would get a life and quit crankin out this trash.Females trying to act tough is getting to be a predictable and boring theme.

Summary: If i could give it 10 i would!
Review: This is one of tarantinos best movies made, and the other one being resivior dogs. dont get me wrong, all of tarantios movies are good, but those two stand out the most cause of the dialog and setting of the two movies. kill bills action sequinces are packed to the brim with gore and violence, and i find it ammusing cause the way tarantio makes a bloody, action packed scene is just funny. i know this review isnt making scence, but what does these days, if u dont have it already, RUN AND GET IT CAUSE IT WILL AMAZE YA.

Summary: Great Film..and the Bride's Name Is....
Review: Beatrix Kiddo! Yep, what a name. You can see this two times in the film if you pause it and zoom in during the airport sequences when Uma is handed her passport. I thought it might have been an alias name, but if you watch the mouths of Vivica and Lucy Liu you can see them mouthing Beatrix (during the beep). Just thought some fans might want to know.

Summary: Neat
Review: This movie rocked! Plain and simple, if you like the look of an independent film with the art of a samurai, blood, decapitations, deception, and brutal killing sprees this is the movie for you.
It is chock full of red-gory goodness. Long story short, a lady seeks revenge with 5 specific people and the movie is about her getting revenge by killing each and everyone of them. You'll be hooked with the opening scene of the movie...fantastic. Not to mention the music for the movie is fantastic!

Summary: Quentin's Genius
Review: Ok, this is NOT a film that I'm supposed to like. My boyfriend continously chides me for only like little, character-driven indie flicks that make you "think" (case in point, my new favorite film, hands down, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). This is definitely not a film that you have to think, riddled with excessive violence, and a story filled with unanswered questions, and let me tell you, I absolutely LOVED this film.
It's pure, pure, pure Tarantino at his finest. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is, as Quentin himself states, is a pure revenge flick. The (...)Uma Thurman plays "the Bride", whose wedding day is the scene of a horrible massacre, in which she somehow survives. Coming out of a coma after four years, she seeks revenge on the squad of hit-divas and it's lead man, Bill. So, for two glorious hours, we are treated to violent scene after violent scene of gore, dismemberments, beheadings, and outright murder. And you know what, I loved every second of it. Why? First, I know this word is bantered around all the time, but truly, Tarantino IS a film making genius. His vision, his filmmaking style permeates Kill Bill Vol. 1, This is a sleek, beautiful film. Even the fighting scenes are so incredibly choreographed that I thought I was watching a well-rehearsed dance number in a musical; well, a dance number with lots of blood. LOTS. But dear Quentin has his finger on every part of this film, and it's a cinematic piece of art. Secondly, the performances of the actors carry this film, particularly Uma and the sultry Lucy Liu. Uma has never looked better as a bride with a mission that never lapses into outright anger. She is controlled, and in control. It's so refreshing to see a lead female character take control of a situation, rather than relying on a male lead to save her. Uma don't need anyone! And Lucy is a phenom as head of the Toyko crime syndicate. She is both feminine and brutal, absolutely marvelous in her role. My only complaint was Quentin's brief use of the stunning Vivica A. Fox, as the first female assassin "the Bride" confronts. She just isn't in this movie much, and I wanted to see more. Reading some of the reviews and articles about Kill Bill, Taratino planned this movie as a salute to Japanese martial arts movies of the 1970s, spaghetti westerns, and other forms of "grind" cinema. Not well versed in those styles didn't hamper one bit my enjoyment of the film. It works on all levels. So instead of cringing, I loved Kill Bill Vol. 1. Just don't tell my boyfriend that I'll probably be in line for Kill Bill Vol. 2. I have to see what happens next. And while I'm at it, I think Tarantino's other brilliant work, "Pulp Fiction", deserves another look-see.

Summary: I hate action film - but not this one
Review: Directors have always talk about movies that move the audience. Quentin seems to do it without trying. I am changed forever after watching the movie. To tell you the truth, I hate violence. I close my eyes through most action movies. But Kill Bill was different. Very different. Besides being very entertaining and very well made, there was much more. As Quentin said in one of his interviews, there is a story behind every character. He may choose not to tell it in the movie but it are there in his mind. The characters in Kill bill exist in Quentin's world. I walked out of the theatre energized and feeling empowered. Buried in tons of fake blood and limbs, there was a message. I don't know if anyone got the same one but mine was that women can be powerful if only we stopped giving ourselves excuses. If Quentin can imagine such a world, why can't we? It's funny that it look that many bodycounts to convince me.

Summary: a wonderful action drama w/a sense of humor
Review: the opening scene of this movie really sets you up for the type of movie you are about to see. from the get go you feel that your eyes cannot be removed from the screen. after the first scene you jump 4 years later to uma thurman pulling up to a quiet suburban neighborhood in bright yellow truck with pink flames that has pu**y wagon enblazoned on the end of the truck. she has arrived at her second victim of retribution codenamed copperhead. this character is played by the gorgeous vivaca fox. the two women fight and are at a stalemate until vivaca's little girl interupts them. there is some very funny dialogue that goes on during this scene and some words that are spoken that speak of regret. needless to say this scene ends in death but at the unfortunate tragedy of being witnessed by the little girl. this movie jumps around a little bit like pulp fiction did, however this is not a bad thing b/c there is never any interruption in the flow of the movie. there is a part that reveals that uma's character had the possibility of neveer waking up from her coma, and this scene is both tragic and funny, darryl hannah is wickedly funny. i think that this first movie is really set up wonderfully because there is a depth to the characters, and by doing this you get a feel for who they are and what they represent. lucy liu does a great job also and plays vicious killer very well. in all honesty i felt a little sorry for her and how she grew up. this movies a perfect set up for the second volume of this tragedy. my biggest question for the second volume is what did the bride do to make her former team try to kill her? the movie really leaves the watcher hanging and brings up a whole new set of questions and speculations to be answered especially when the viewer finds out that the bride's daughter is still alive. all the actors in this movie fill out their parts fantastically well. and like i said, this movie has all the elements of a great tragedy and revenge movie, but it also has some very funny parts as well. i love the part where uma is trying to get her toe to wiggle. this is a great tarantino movie and is a very visceral movie with lots of blood and violence but at the heart is still human. this a great movie and i cant wait to see the second one.

Summary: Kill Bill is awesome
Review: I just saw this movie, and it is great. i rented it for DVD, and i must say, this is a spectacular movie. Quentin tarentino has created a masterpiece. I am a big fan of high adrenaline actcion films, and japanese katanas ( i own one). this movie combines the two and creates the sweet, sweet equivalent of mixing lemons, sugar, and water to lemonade. it makes me want to see kill bill volume 2 tomorrow!
