Summary: pure viewing EXHILARATION!!!
Review: I wasn't real impressed with "Jackie Brown" so I approached this film thinking that Tarantion might well have already peaked with "Pulp Fiction"---boy was I wrong! Just as Sergio Leone took westerns to a whole new and higher level, so Tarantino does to chop-socky martial arts flicks, plus a huge dose of 'TUDE.The fight scenes are fast, furious and in your face; the dialogue is vintage Tarantino uber-cool; there's tons of self-parody and black absurdist humor throughout; the pacing is mostly seamless and quick; the camera work is flawless; the soundtrack as typical for a QT movie just rocks. Sure there's lots of blood and guts but it's all very aesthetically well done, you really don't feel grossed out so much as fascinated and giddy. The violence is cartoonish, and since Uma is the protagonist there isn't the usual obnoxious testosterone swagger we so often get in these action films. Through it all Tarantino applies a beautifully subversive twist to the martial arts action genre: here, the women (especially one Uma Thurman) are not only foxy but fierce and fearless while the men are mostly just pussycats at their mercy. Made me want to go see Volume 2 pronto! I'd love to watch this film in a cinema in some traditional, pre-feminist, male-dominated patriarchal society like Japan or Egypt!

Summary: Fantastic movie!
Review: This movie is really fun. The way that Tarantino uses obscure music to set the mood for his movies is out of control. I just saw Vol. 2 and I was a little dissapointed, but Vol. 1 is really cool. If you are a Tarantino fan (Pulp Fiction, Resivoir Dogs, True Romance) you will like this movie. Otherwise you may think that there is too much swearing and violence.

Summary: KILL BILL, KILLS!!!!!
Review: You gotta love Tarantino.
I saw this one last night, and what can I tell you, but incredible!!
This is Pulp Fiction with martial arts. If you love offbeat films, then this ones for you. Yes, things do get silly at times, but that's okay because it adds to this particular movie. I want to see the unreal, the glamour, the violence and A strong cast of characters, Kill Bill pulls this off with outstanding success.
So, what you waiting for?, go buy this DVD. I know it's going to be part of my collection real soon!!
Oh ya, the soundtrack is killer as well (It fits in with the movie so well!!).

Summary: Playing with knives!! - Nice Truck!
Review: The black humor of Quentin Tarantino returns with his latest chop'm up movie, Kill Bill. A story of betrayl and revenge. Starring the beautiful Uma Thurmann as The (pregnant) Bride, the story begins with a typically bloody scene in a wedding chapel leaving The Bride in a four year long coma. She awakens to find her baby gone and remembering how she ended up in a hospital bed. Her life as an assasin in a shady underworld hit team, The Deadly Viper Assasination Squad, lead by "Bill" is revealed and it is her fellow compatriates that do her in. Leaving the hospital is an effort on it's own. Dayrl Hannah makes a rare apperance as one of her fellow workmates and tries to top The Bride untill stopped by Bill. During her time in the coma ward The Bride is repeatedly raped by a filthy orderly called Budd. Boy does he have it comming when she awakens... Seeking revenge, she visits the first assasin and dispaches her quickly. The Bride then travels to Okinawa and pays a visit to Bill's former Samuri teacher and asks him to create a sword for her. He declines first but soon gives in when The Bride tells him who it will be used on. In this first movie she takes on Luci Liu in a spectacular hack and chop sword fight involving the Yakuza crime syndicate. As usual Tranatino's humor is exposed during this and you get to have some funny laughs as all this bloody killing is going on. The movie ends with the demise of Liu and the promise of more revenge in Volume 2. Using ironic music, Tarantino style, and the use of Japanese cartoons to explain Luci Liu's character is typically cleaver.
All round a really good movie worthy of five stars.

Summary: A Bloody, Action - Packed Masterpiece
Review: This is the first Quentin Tarantino movie I've seen and let me tell you, I would see anything this man put out. Kill Bill Vol. I has everything a great action movie needs: A solid plot, great characters, great actors and actresses, and the main ingredient, great action. I have seen many action movies, and this is by far the best(and bloodiest). The thing that also makes this a great movie is Quentins amazing creativity. I garuntee you that he is the only director who can have a color movie with some black and white seens, and anime. Quentins' creativity is what makes this movie come alive. I recommend this to all action movie fans. I also suggest that people who are easily bothered by blood, shouldn't see this movie. Enjoy a wonderful movie.

Summary: Tarantino's Kill Bill: A Film Lovers Masterpiece
Review: The pregnant Bride aka Black Mamba (Uma Thurman) was brutalized and shot in the head by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad lead by Bill during her wedding ceremony. Everyone in the wedding party was callously murdered with professional precision. Four years later the Bride awakens from her nightmarish comatose sleep with a revengeful mind-set. Disturbed and vengeful the Bride sets out to find the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad in order to end their lives as she attempts to find closure to her tragic loss. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is a well-written and spectacular cinematic event with a kaleidoscope of martial arts and other cinematic film nostalgia. The cinematic nostalgia of spaghetti westerns, exploitation cinema, and martial art movies are deliberately inserted as homage by Tarantino. These scenes are meticulously organized and cared for as Tarantino wants the audience to have a superb experience while viewing the film. An example is the sampling of the music from the Gypsy Kings set to samurai sword fights in a Japanese garden, which works like magic. The excellent cast performs extremely well under both physically strenuous scenes and daily dialogues. An interesting side note to the casting of Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is Tarantino's use of the character Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba), which is a distant relative several generations from the same character in a Japanese TV-series. Throughout the film the cinematography is breathtaking as the camera flows and pans with the characters with effortless brilliance. It is apparent when viewing Kill Bill: Vol. 1 that this film is made by a film lover who wants to share his love and interest for movies and smoothly enlighten the audience in the magical properties of cinema.

Summary: Awesome action movie
Review: Well, I actually saw this movie at the cinema in Bangkok, Thailand. It was an awesome experience I hadn't had in a long time. Uma Thurman rocks!! She was like a killing machine of justice and redemtion. Taratino was excellent. He is a very fantastic directer. Now, I have bought my favorite movie on DVD and I can't stop watching it. I'm waiting for Volume 2 to come out in Thailand and I can hardlt wait!!

Summary: yeeeeaaahh bwoy!...ya betta ask somebody
Review: person from eastwesto..dont speak til spoken to..tarantino pulls references from 70's kung fu flicks, itallian giallo, and classic revengefilms..
shogun assassin, lady snowblood, 5 deadly venoms, ...the sound you hear before limbs go flying(rrrrooo reee roooo reee..TIGHT!) is from 5 fingers of death
there's too many to list..
the blue background is adapted from samurai fiction (changed from red, in the house of blue leaves..)
obviously SHAW BROS. directed martial arts films influenced him as well...bros. who dir. classics like shaolin master killer, invincible pole fighters, mad monkey kung fu...
gordon liu starred in alot of the shaw bros. films....i fail to c any matrix references like the mongoloid eastwesto. tsk tsk tsk...theres been a heck of alot a mucho villian scenes/movies before the matrix...wake up!...the matrix! no matrix slo-mo..but much arterial dialogue and homage to the GREATS!

Summary: Great DVD, not the full version
Review: As opposed to many other, this review is for the DVD, not the
movie. That's what Amazon's reviews are all about. If you want
to know how good the movie is, check www.imdb.com.
The DVD contains the cut version of the movie (the b/w scenes)
and is superbly done.
If you are looking for the full version of the movie, try to
check for the Japanese version of it. It contains about 10
minutes more of footage and some scenes are edited differently. Enjoy,
Eric
