Summary: QT fan
Review: This is Quentin's best movie to date. There are so many influences in this movie that make it outstanding. I haven't been one who enjoys Hong Kong flicks or Samurai movies from Japan. But after seeing this my horizon has been opened up. I have like anime, Miyazaki is one of my all time favorite directors. But after seeing this movie. I took a closer look at Kurosawa movies, even though they aren't exactly the make influence, but I see them in Kill Bill. Also I love the touch of Italian Westerns in this movie. The soundtrack is the best out there. So many tunes I've never heard or heard like that! I have seen this movie once in theaters, but I will buy the dvd when it comes out. I will see Kill Bill Vol. 2 and I will buy it on dvd. Then I will buy the dvd box set of them both with a really great bonus I heard will be with it!! If you thought the Matrix Series sucked, or you just didn't get it. Don't see this, I don't think it will help you. I suggest go see Message in a Bottle. You'll probably like that. Yeah, that sounds good to me. You'll enjoy it!! Who can't, Kevin Costner is in it!! Or if you want a voilent movie I suggest you see Cabin Fever. But if you like QT, then see this movie.

Summary: A Men's Masterpiece
Review: 5 stars just isn't enough to rate this future classic...and this is only the first half!!!! I had the luxury of seeing this work of art in theatersand it kept me on the edge of my seat from The Bride's first showdown in the suburbs to the restaraunt to the garden fight toward the end where heads literally roll. and I thought that the courtyard catfight in CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON was awesome but this blew me away. Buy this masterpiece if you can and a message for Mr. Tarantino: Let's see this beauty made into a game for the PS2 or Xbox. you know i'd be first in line even if I have to steal a line from another Tarantinno masterpiece "get medieval on someone's ass"

Summary: Terrific, Important Film
Review: Uma Thurman's performance is sublime. Philosophically and emotionally complex with no pandering and tons of po-mo, pop cultural fun. A huge leap forward for complex portrayals of women on screen. Loved it.

Summary: The Best Film of 2003!!!!!!
Review: Quentin Tarantino has achieved something that his good buddy Robert Rodriguez hasn't, the ability to escape from the shadow of his breakout film. While Rodriguez soared in "El Mariachi," he has fallen short in both sequels, "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" being the latest failed attempt to come up with something new and fresh. "Kill Bill:Volume One" is proof that Tarantino will not follow in his friends footsteps. Coming off of the stale "Jackie Brown" (The third film by Tarantino) six years later Tarantino achieves a movie that hooks its claws into you from start to finish in a way "Pulp Fiction" did back in the early nineties. Tarantino uses his library of movie knowledge to bring to life a purposefully lame plot about a former female assassin who wants out and is left for dead, as a result she wants revenge against "Bill", the leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad she used to be a part of. Known only as "The Bride", Uma Thurman plays the role masterfully with little seriousness for her situation, but with a fun trot for the epic of different genres (Such as old kung fu, japanese animation and spaghetti westerns), and cranberry blood that flies around the room with every severed arm, leg, foot and head. Yes, this isn't a film that has a moral message, and it's not supposed to, what it does is convey Tarantino's genius and understanding of film and film's potential for artistical mastery. Kill Bill was snubbed at the Oscars and probably because of the violence, but the violence is not taken seriously by Tarantino, and it shouldn't by the viewer either. Kill Bill was the best film of the year, and if "Kill Bill: Volume 2" comes anywhere close to the creative masterpiece created by Tarantino, the Oscars may have to rethink there decisions from this year. Whether you like "Kill Bill" or not, you must understand its mastery of film, and the genius of the modern Orson Welles, Quentin Tarantino. This film is a triumph of art!!!

Summary: Maiming and decapitation are never fun. Until now...
Review: Oh, the joy of being a movie geek. This year has been a tremendous blessing for all of the human race, or just us film fanatics, as the movie gods have listened to all our prayers to deliver cinematic goodness. One of these that came as a major grace is called "Kill Bill: Volume One", the latest offering from the dark, perverted but brilliant mind of Quentin Tarantino. Last seen under the spotlight in 1997 with "Jackie Brown", we have been painfully awaiting his next move throughout a six-year-span. Well, time finally came upon us and the wait is definitely worth it. Appropriately entitled "Kill Bill", Tarantino tells a simple revenge story, albeit through his usual non-linear storytelling structure, about a lanky blonde woman (played by the invigorating Uma Thurman) only known as "The Bride" a.k.a. "Black Mamba" who wakes up from a coma to exact revenge on her former assassin group called "The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad" lead by Bill (David Carradine), who aren't really happy of her decision to quit and marry someone in El Paso, Texas. Hence, bloody carnage ensues as Bill and the gang made of eclectic members-Budd, Vernita Green, Elle Driver and Oren-Ishii-massacres The Bride's family and guests on her wedding day, including her unborn baby. Bill saves her for last and shoots her head (on what could be one of the most startling introductions in a movie). Thinking that she's dead, they leave her cold in her blood-splattered wedding dress, which is a terrible mistake on their part, as The Bride gets up from her hospital bed after four years with furious determination and will to destroy every single one of the perpetrators, saving the best for last, which is, of course, Bill, proving that as far as justice goes, it can easily get very poetic. However, this is only half of the story, as Miramix, the film distributor, and Tarantino himself decided to cut the three-hour long movie in half and released them four months apart. That being said, I am very sure that Volume Two will be as equally brutal and vigorously entertaining to what I've seen four times in the theaters (Yes, four times! It's that good!) "Kill Bill: Volume One" is perhaps the most violent American movie ever (and I've seen a lot of movies). It can be easily be used as an example of how the morals of the Western world have dramatically fallen in the 21st century. But it's most important to know that this movie was made as an ode to those rare, odd, cheesy and absurd kung-fu, Western, exploitation, slasher and grindhouse movies we usually see gathering dust in the cult section of a video store or occasionally seen playing on television at 3 in the morning. Kill Bill: Volume One on the surface looks like a very empty fluff made to only shock the already seemingly desensitized viewers, but underneath, it is really a very intelligent piece of art. Intelligent in a sense that it knows the rules of the cinema: it knows it audiences are and doesn't give a damn thing or two to those who don't want to get involved. For instance, The Bride wears a yellow jumpsuit during the last hour of the movie. To the uninitiated, it's just a striking sexy vintage number. To those in the know, it's a replica of Bruce Lee's tracking jumpsuit from his 1979 movie Game of Death. And this is just only a fraction of Tarantino's endless references, in-jokes and homages to old and obscure cinema. From Brian DePalma to Godzilla, from giallo films to Japanese animations, God knows what else are there he injected. I say this movie is an entire pop culture of pop culture. Even without this quality, it's still deliciously entertaining, boldly creative and visually arresting, it's safe to say that this is an instant classic. No, this is not an Oscar-winning movie, let alone be nominated. But not everything has to have a deep storyline with complex characters to be a great film. This movie has no substance and as empty as a dead shell. But it's an amazingly great film, nonetheless. The fact of the matter is that Tarantino made this with great respect, love and passion of the medium, that he practically utilizes everything to its full advantage from complicated camera shots (the long tracking shot of The Bride going to the washroom is incredible), beautiful cinematography (the claustrophobic and filthy Hospital environment, the beautifully exotic and bright Japanese backdrop), the amazing eclectic selections of music (from Nancy Sinatra's "Bang, Bang" to "The Green Hornet" theme song) and the excellently choreographed fight scenes as if we're watching an amazing, exhausting ballet dance with swords. Oh yeah, and the beautiful gushing of the blood and gore like water coming down from Niagara Falls. "Kill Bill: Volume One" is an extravagant, highly-stylized, ultra-energized, uber-violent piece of celluloid. It's made up of a world were grativity is without law, violence is sheer poetry, pissed-off Caucasian women likes to play with samura swords, and even assassins have feelings. It's a world where obscure 1970's disco music goes perfectly seamless along with the motion of decapitation and maiming. Oh what fun! Aside from that movie that left me with tears featuring hobbits and wizards and that fetus-looking boy-fish who seems to say the word "Precciooooooussssss...." a lot, this year belongs to Kill Bill: Volume One (and I cannot wait for Volume 2!) Thank you, Tarantino for your sick and twisted mind.

Summary: The 1st half is better than the dull 2nd half
Review: The film is a blood drenched, tongue-in-cheek, feminist kung-fu revenge flick, whose best moments are cold-blooded and heartbreaking, all at the same time. The fight scenes are forgettable, despite their extravagance, if only because the "volume 1" in the movie's title promises that our fearless heroine will not die before the sequel hits theaters early 2004. In other words, Quentin Tarantino is cutting off heads and spraying blood all over the camera, simply because he wants to and can. Only once do we worry about our heroine's fate -- despite knowing her fate -- during her battle with Go-Go, a sexy, yet threatening, femme fatale gowned in a schoolgirl uniform, and armed with a lethal ball and chain. Consistently, Quentin Tarantino manages to treat the battles between The Bride and her opponents like a bad pay-per-view Mike Tyson fight: while it is inevitable that The Bride will win, Tarantino unfortunately kills the villains too quickly and pathetically. We want our money back when they're over, you know? The movie's longest battle, which is between The Bride and the Crazy 88 gang (88 isn't just a name, fellahs), is simply too over-the top to warrant our affection. Unfortunately, the more melancholic passages - the best passages -- are relegated to the first half of the film and are never played with again. Maybe the sequel - hopefully the sequel - will trade the over-the-top action sequences found abundant here for more witty dialogue and affecting drama. The film's dull second half is violent, bloody, and just kidding. Lucy Liu stars as one of The Bride's many nemeses and is never really believable. The film ends with a line of dialogue that will influence its entertained viewers to create a time machine to shuttle them straight to the day that volume 2 opens theatrically. For folks like me though, we'll just wait, patiently, and hope that Tarantino gives us more of the emotionally powerful stuff that made his first installment bearable.

Summary: I thought it is was last DVD but I was wrong
Review: OK guys,
If you want some blood without any question from where it was derived - this is your movie.
However, the more you are looking into the skeleton of the movie the more you are understanding than movie makers just wanted your money and nothing else.
As a former doctor I can tell you definitely (try to judge me for that)that after 4 (four) year in coma you can not jump from your bed and go whatever. It is nonsence. Sorry for possible mistake. I would be proud of you if you could just move your finger!!! THis movie is complete mess. Who did this Massacre and what for - this is not informated till the end of the movie. But as I said before - If you like blood without any explanation - do forward.

Summary: One of the best directed movies staring lovely Uma Thurman
Review: One of the best directed movies ever has finally been put on DVD. The director is known for his crazy and cool shooting. This movie, only Tarintino's 4th, has been a true movie picture. It is a great story with lots of action and martial arts. Uma Thurman, who stars as the bride, does a spectacular job filling out her role in getting revenge. Uma has not been recognized too much except for her role in Pulp Fiction and some other movies but this one will change that. Again this is the best movie I have ever seen.
