Summary: TRIX ARE FOR KIDS, BUT NOT THIS MOVIE!!!
Review: Quentin Tarantino has done it, again! Kill Bill, Volume 1 is a trademark masterpiece that has the morbid blend of excessive violence and wicked humor a la only Mr. Tarantino. Well displayed are the acts of revenge executed by a woman whose mission it is to nurse her scorn against all enemies that have dared to stand in her way and ruin her future hopes. Graphic and bloody scenes, action-packed anime, and the preoccupation with daydreams full of vengeance are all elements that create the psychological interplay among the characters. Never before have I known for there to be such a combination of vengeance, sadism, megalomania, and narcissism, all rolled up in one package. At the beginning, Uma Thurman's Black Mamba sets the stage for how the tone of the movie is going to be set. She makes it clear that though she is rational when it comes to dealing with her enemies, her rationality is not the kind that includes mercy, compassion, or forgiveness. And this overture gives the viewer only a taste of what is to come. Without giving the details away, this movie is so violent that it is, without question, not for children to view. Central to the developing storyline in Kill Bill, Volume I is world-renowned, Japanese martial artist and actor, Sonny Chiba, whom Quentin Tarantino has regarded as one of the main inspirations for his particular brand of motion picture outputs. Kill Bill, Volume I, all in all, is a great movie. If there is any down side or sour note, it is that the movie was filmed roughly half a decade after the death of the leading Japanese actor, Toshirô Mifune, who, in America, is perhaps most famous for his role as Toranaga in the 1980 miniseries, Shogun. Potentially, there might have otherwise been an opportunity for Tarantino to provide another actor the chance to earn the level of recognition that was highly deserved, just as he had done with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. It is reported that though Mifune could speak English, his lines were always dubbed in the American films in which he appeared, a major disappointment that would plague him until his death in 1997.

Summary: An Explosion of Action
Review: This is the first film by Quintin Tarantino I have ever seen and boy was it wonderful. The man can make a perfect movie. He takes you for a ride that you never want to end. The plot, the action, the effects, the score, everything was wonderful. The way he directed this movie was unlike anything I had ever seen. I cannot wait to see the second installment. Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Darryl Hannah, and Vivica A. Fox all kicked but. One of the best films of 2003, Tarantino has definately made a Kung Foo masterpiece. This film is pure Tarantino.

Summary: Revenge fantasy soars far above Tarantino's other works
Review: With everyone so focused on the blood and gore of this movie, I urge you to think beyond the blood; think of a favorite Japanese graphic novel brought to life. Think of the ultimate revenge fantasy, where you are so very bad @ss that no one can touch you. Think invincible, brutally gifted with weapons, and fueled by hate beyond death. Kill Bill is a visually stunning treat for the eyes, and ears, of its viewers; even the blood is overdone in its gushing fountains and sprinkler type sprays. The background story of O'Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) is entirely done in Anime; expertly done I might add. Tarentino uses cinematography to its best advantage in this film; stop action shots, slow motion, down angle shots, B&W during the big fight, and the battle in the snow between O'Ren Ishii and The Bride is the tastiest eye candy fight scene I have seen in a very long time. Even down to costume design, Kill Bill stimulates the visual core of your brain even better than the original Matrix. Direction, choreography, soundtrack, editing, production, acting, everything combines to make one of the greatest revenge fantasies ever filmed. Really, I'm not even a huge Tarentino fan, and I still found myself riveted to the screen, even starting the movie over again after my first viewing. The actresses and actors deserve special mention of their own. Forget Uma Thurman as the pretty little innocent we saw her as in Dangerous Liaisons, she is one hard fighting woman as The Bride, and really mastered the art of sword fighting for her role in this movie. She does a superb job. Lucy Liu is both beautiful and dangerous in her role as O'Ren Ishii, her voice as soft as rose petals and her sting as deadly as the Cottonmouth's bite, thus her code name from the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Her eyes will quite literally transfix you, you will feel her staring into your soul and know that she would love to see the color of your blood. Also Exceptional in their supporting roles are Vivica Fox and Darryl Hannah, two more beautiful ladies that we never considered dangerous until now. Unknown in America for any acting is young Chiaki Kuriyama, who plays O'Ren's 17 year old bodyguard GoGo Yubari, a baby faced schoolgirl with dead eyes and a psychotic mind. And Sonny Chiba, long time veteran of Japanese cinema plays Hattori Hanzo, a retired sword maker. Don't miss the amazing snow-scene fight, the expertly done anime, and the visual and audio treat that is Kill Bill. Favorite Line? The Bride, after kicking everyone's hinder at the House Of Blue Leaves, shouts down to them from the balcony, "Those of you lucky enough to have your lives take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now." Enjoy!

Summary: A pretty good film!
Review: Although at times it can be a little far-fetched, this movie is pretty good. I think Quentin made Uma a little too good at times though, because it can be a little boring when she has no competition. What I mean? The action is great but it is a little one-sided most of the time as Uma decimates anyone in the area without sweating. The film is interesting though. The start is pretty interesting, as well as the bleeps. The black and white and anime scene are clever. Also, the movie doesn't go in order exactly which is interesting. All these different things make the movie a different experience, which is a good thing. 5 stars!!!!!

Summary: Much Ado......
Review: Tarantino,does a fast paced and action packed movie....some may be affronted by too much (fake)blood and guts. Still to the aficinado of action packed movies this is a must see!! Ulma Thurman is showing her expanding repertoire for different characters...her bride character left you wondering what she'll do next...(i.e. "Kill Bill Vol.2")..."Go Uma!! "Fast Paced, Action Packed, and Funny in the right places." All in all, it has no trouble keeping your attention. I'm looking forward to "Kill Bill Vol.2"

Summary: Positively Abysmal!!!
Review: I hardly know where to begin, this film being so terribly awful. The fountains and geysers of blood were so over the top as to be laughable. The several hundred "Kato" characters running around left one begging for a cartoon Green Hornet to enter the scene.... it couldn't possibly have been worse than what we got. Uma's in a coma for 4 years, yet in a few hours she's up walking and fighting again. She flies commercially while nonchalantly carrying a Samarai sword. The language would make a sailor blush and run away. A young non-Japanese woman running a Tokyo crime syndicate could happen, right? Has anyone ever heard of a gun??? Uma's character would have been dead many times over (except for the "expert assassin" in the beginning of the movie who shoots at Uma and misses): OOPS! I forgot! At the start, Uma gets shot in the head at close range, yet comes back unscathed. etc. etc. etc. I'd need 10,000 words to list all the garbage that reeks in this film. I thought maybe Tarantino was going for camp, but no..... there's nothing but a few very lame attempts at humor. This idiotic film actually takes itself seriously. It's weak attempts to pay homage to another time and other films falls flat. Folks.... If you believe Uma Thurman makes a good Samarai, then I've got some property in Florida you might be interested in..... natural irrigation, wildlife.... it's beautiful!! Tarantino is Sam Peckinpah times 10, without his grit or meaning. Look.... The acting's bad, the plot is thin and predictable (did anyone not know after 15 minutes that the baby was alive?), the language and lines are eye-rolling horrendous, and the blood so deep as to not even be gross. Don't just leave this movie on the shelf, hack it apart with a Samarai sword.... It's the only satisfaction possible out of this gelatinous chunk of dooty. "Run away..... Run away!!!!!!!!"

Summary: Proof that popularity has nothing to do with quality
Review: What a waste of time, money, air, breath, fake blood, stunt men, wirework, etc, etc, ad nauseam (and there was a lot of that). This is just crap. It doesn't even get any better on double speed when they all sound like Chip and Dale. Tarantino is the nerdy kid that got picked on at school all grown up and now he's laughing as he takes his vengeance out on you the viewer. Watch anything else, for your own sake, please. I mean that, anything. Well, maybe not 'Battlefield Earth' but even then it's a toss up.

Summary: BRILLIANT ! ! !
Review: *Kill Bill: Vol.1*
Kill Bill Vol.1 is darn-near brilliant, no, I retract...it IS brilliant. Great editing and great acting really made me feel like cheering on, the highly under-rated, Uma Thurman. She is fantastic in this!
There is something about KB1 that, as the movie progressed, I liked more and more. It started off great and just got better. My only complaint is the way over-the-top blood showers. I'm not sure why he felt it neccessary for the blood "showers" but, if I had to guess, there's probably a reason, I just couldn't figure it out.
Strickly for action movie fans, and not for the weak!
2 THUMBS UP...easily!

Summary: Q at his best
Review: The best thing Tarentino has done yet. The characters are outrageous. The cast is splendid. The camera work is fantastic. The soundtrack is fabulous. The animation (yes, I said animation) is a wonderful surprise. Uma Thurman raises the bar for (...)-kicking chicks. The whole thing is over the top, and it's movie making at it's best. I just saw Pt 2, and it is even better.
