Summary: Best movie of 2003
Review: I saw a lot of action movies in 2003, from "Daredevil," "X-Men 2," "The Hulk" to "The Matrix" sequels and "Terminator 3" -- but "Kill Bill Volume 1" was the single best movie I saw all year.

Some people refused to see the movie because they didn't want to pay twice to see both parts. Well, even if you just see the first part, it's worth the money.

Tarantino brings together all the elements: Action, suspence, acting, dialogue, and of course music. Most movies are filmed and the music is added on later, but Tarantino sets up each scene to last as long as each song on the soundtrack, making the movie into a series of music videos.

And the over-the-top martial arts sequences blow "The Matrix" out of the water. Any fan of Tarantino, or martial arts movies, or good movie soundtracks, needs to own this movie.

(Of course, I'm holding out to get Vol. 1 and 2 together in one box -- but if you missed Vol. 1 in the theater, you should definitely get the DVD, then see Vol. 2 in the theater.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YES!!!
Review: KILL BILL VOL.1 WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED AND EVEN MORE OF WHAT I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WANTED. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS FILM IS AMAZING. AND HOW CHILLING IS NANCY SINATRI'S "BANG BANG" IN THE OPENING, THE WAY THE R-ZA FLIPPED THE BEAT WAS PERFECT ALMOST SCARY!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awesome movie
Review: kill bill is an amazing movie, just as pulp fiction is. the swift and dramatic change in chapters, and the uniqeness that lies in each chapter, only added to the action and excitement of the movie. tarantino is by far one of my favorite directors, and him casting uma therman (a favorite actress of mine) only made the movie THAT much better. i cannot wait for it to be released on april 13, and to be followed only three days later for volume two to be set in theaters....finally!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Had potential
Review: KILL BILL has a weak storyline, and next to nothing character development. That in itself is enough to make you steer clear of this film. KILL BILL relies on violence and unusual killings to try and pull you in. The only saving grace of the film is the interesting camera work, but I very much doubt that this film will become a cult classic like earlier films from Quentin Tarantino.

The very best part of the film was when it ended. Let's just hope that Volume 2 never sees the light of day.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It`s Tarantino So It`s Good, Right??
Review: (...) Basically, Uma Thurman`s character just wants to "Kill Bill". And this movie is pretty much a staightforward sequence of well-directed and cleverly made action scenes with enough blood and violence to deserve cult status and some appeal. Mix some black humour, cultural and cinematic references, technical gimmicks, a cool soundtrack and even an anime sequence and you will have "Kill Bill". What seems to be lacking is a decent and original plot, since this is nothing more than a typical revenge story about a vitimized and angry tough woman. Overall, this is flashy and disposable entertainment that doesn`t care to provide much food for thought. Not that it is a bad thing, but Tarantino has done better and a movie like this doesn`t deserve all the praise it got.
Disappointing.

Summary: Scooby Dooby Dumb!
Review: Ridiculous updating of the classic cartoon destroys everything that makes Scooby and the gang special. CG Scooby is believable, effective, and ten times more lifelike than most of the cast. I will NOT be watching the sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Killer Flick
Review: Kill Bill: Vol. 1 breaks all the movie rules and does it well. Tarantino delivers an eclectic mix of action and gore that puts all other films in the genre to shame. This is the movie Tarantino was born to make.

If you learn atleast three things from Kill Bill. 1) If the "[***]Wagon" drives up to your house, don't answer the door. 2)Never say anything about Oren's heritage. 3) And "Revenge is a dish best served cold" -An old Klingon proberb-

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY ENTERTAINING
Review: I am a huge TARANTINO fan. As of October 10, 2003 (KILL BILL's opening in theaters), My favorite movie, at the top of my list, was KILL BILL VOL.1. This is probably the most entertaining movie in the world. There are a lot of people that criticize this movie for having a very simple plot, a large amount of violence, and barely any moral to it. Dont worry about all that psychological mumbo jumbo crap that all those so-called movie experts want. A movie expert should respect every form of cinema. Who cares if it has the simplest plot ever made, who cares what all the other people say about it. A lot of people say that it is TOO violent, there's TOO "language" in it, there's TOO much this.. There's TOO much that. Who cares?!!! It's what we want to see, and it's the best movie i've ever seen. This movie has everything there is to offer in a good movie. It has action, humor, blood, and somewhat of a romance. Buy this movie... it's worth it.(...)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wonderful movie experience!
Review: I saw it when it was in the theatre and i was blown away. This director is very talented! Uma gave a spellbinding performance. The fight sequences were nailed perfectly especially the fight b/w Uma and Vivcia Fox! Anyways, considering all the crap that came out in 2003 this was the best movie of the year hands down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids"
Review: What a great homage to not only the chopsocky films of the 1960's
and '70's but to every aspect of "Asian revenge" film that comes to mind.What Gladiator did for the "sword & sandal" genre and Starship
troopers did for the big bug flicks of the 50's This film does in a
scope that can barely be contained on the screen.

The story centers on Uma Thurman's character 'The Bride'once member
of the elite asassination team called the Viper squad being left of
dead after what seems to be a wedding day gone completely wrong for
reasons we can only guess at. Waking up from her coma she plans
a shopping list for a campain of revenge.

Sound familar? Sure it does and no matter how many different ways its presented we're still sucked in to see a good been done wrong & I'm out for justice flick. I'm not HUGE fan of the martial arts
genre but I respect it for what it is. Tarantino leaves no stone
leaves no stone unturned in his in his tribute to greatness that
we all felt when we first saw "The baby cart" series or an "Akira
Kurasawa" film. From the great Shaw scope intro to the "5 Fingers
of death theme you know your diving in head first.

The dvd format is great I found the 2.35:1 widescreen format
perfect. (I know some purist somewhere will complain) & dts sound
supreme especially for those "5,6,7,8" music performances The dvd
also sports extras in the form of bonus music numbers & a "making
of document" along with trailers to all of Tarantino's past film
greats and a teaser to the "Kill Bill" follow up.

For those of you wondering this the theatre version and the black
& white sequence from the "Showdown at the house of blue leaves"
part of the film is still in black & white.
