Summary: Great Movie
Review: What a great movie. Great fight scenes. Even a little anime in it. Uma thurman plays a woman who wants revenge for getting beat up, betrade, and a little bullet in the head. Making a hit list and going after the people. The last one on the list is bill (of course). The movie basically explains why she's after him, who the people who beat her up are, and how she kills the people she's after. This movie is definately a must have for any fan on martial arts, revenge, and bloddy movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good movie from Quentim Tarentino
Review: If you like fake violence this is the film for you . Most of the film is in Tokyo ( Actually in night club in Tokyo)were Uma Turma kills about ninety Yakuza with a Katana . Unfortunately the coreography is chinese not japanese. So some of the movements are absurd. What I mean is that it is diffilcult to fight 90 Yakuza. With the tipe of fencing show it is impossible. It if you think it is impossible in any case then remember termophiles were a handfull of greeks beat a enourmous army of persians.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: En Español
Review: Kill Bill es una gran película, Quentin Tarantino hizo un excelente trabajo desarrollando esta historia, porque presenta la historia en un orden no lineal, que hace que el espectador tenga que agrupar la película en su mente.

El único defecto que yo le veo a la película es que es algo exagerada con los cortes, cuando a una persona le cortan el brazo, no sale un chorro de sangre por el torso, como lo presentan en la película, de resto, es un film excepcional. Esperen para ver la segunda parte, que también es muy buena.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool Cult Classic
Review: This movie, probably followed by Part 2, will undoubtedly be a feature in future "must have" lists for your DVD collection. From the opening tribute to the Shaw Brothers kung fu movies, to the abrupt ending, it's an unusual and brilliant movie.

Mixing revenge, violence, excellent weapons, blood and gore (lots of it), cartoons, black comedy, and every Asian stereotype known to mankind, Tarantino has turned out a cult classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quentin Tarantino's Tribute &...
Review: The guy is very creative in displaying a story in a very original structure and media. Kill Bill is a cult movie fan's greatest dream come true. Everything is in there from good old Western Coybow movies to the cinema of the east slapped together. For the sterotypical "white" person who only consumes the blockbuster hits of what ever popoular trend is out, this movie may appear silly or confusing to a degree of laughter. Thats the beauty of this movie, it shows us which movie watchers are out there. In the theaters I caught a lot of white people laughing at the asian sequences of the film and they were also dumbfounded by the special appearances of the actors from Wild Zero, Ichi the Killer, Battle Royale, and Suicide Circle to name a few. (i was hoping to see Tekashi Kitano) The only special appearnce of a star they would know is "David carra..whats his name...? the guys from that Kung-Fu show...yeah." A lot of people failed to see the element of honor that was displayed in both films between characters which was a very beautiful element. The action sequences were directed very well so that it made up for a lot of the actor martial arts flaws such as akward positions and hyper extended punches, so there are little moments killed.

One sad thing though is that Kill Bill Vol.2 had a trailer for the 2002 film HERO, which is now going to hit theaters here that did it injustes. They stated that the movie was presented by Quentin Tarantino, but I've overheard many reactions of people thinking that it is directed by Quentin Tarantino rather than the truth (Zhang Yimou). Plus the trailer gave the art film a false representation of an epic war film, many may be disapointed. So are movies like Kill Bill building bridges with Hollywood and Asia or are they just going to jokingly stereotype Asian films and cuture in an unfair way? Fans and crowds shall tell in time.

Oh and by the way, I don't want to sound like "white" people are not cool, I use the term "white" for the typical stereotyping day by day american. As far as stereotypes go, sometimes people enjoy becoming part of it and making it obviously true. I look forward to one day the stereotypes are non existant and everyhting in around our lives is understood for what it is and not what it looks like on the surface.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best films by Quentin
Review: This is truly one of the best films Quentin Tarantino has ever created, Kill Bill vol1 had me the day it came out in theaters just one look at Uma Thurman and i was hooked i couldn't get enoff i ended up watching the movie three times, this film had a nice mix of old samurai movies, spagedy westerns, and my personal favorite (anime). I recomend it to everyone who shares the same passion for Quentin Tarantino's movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHAT A START!
Review: Before I start, The movie is violent, and bloody, and Foul Language.

With that said, I can only hope Vol. 2 lives up to the expecations.

Anyway, VOL. 1 is an A+ Movie. PAcked with action, keeps you glued to the TV. I must also say that every character fills his/her role in an effiective way.
Tarantino humor that always amuzes me. And for the Tarantino fans you will enjoy this movie because his prints and creative direction is all over the movie.

Folks Please do not compare Kill Bill Vol. 1 with Pulp Fiction. Yes, Bot movies are the product of Quentin. However, It is a totally different genre. Pulp focus more on dialouge, Bill focuses more on martial arts action etc. So even the way the pace of the movie is going different.

Enjoy

Summary: Great man
Review: This is a film about a woman named Black Mumba(this is her code name her real name is bleeped)AKA The Bride who is almost killed on her wedding day(well more of a dress rehersal)and when she brutally hurt she ends up going into a coma and wakes up four years later seeking revenge , She does that, first she takes out Vernita Green AKA Copperhead then goes to see a man about getting a sword but she has to wait a month, then she get s O Ren Oshii AKA Cottonmouth when she battles her at the house of blue leaves. Then we see her on a plane going to get Budd,Ellie Driver and BILL!

This movie was fantastic I like the way Tartino moved the cameras and used unique ways to make people bleed(I never seen or thought a person lose that much blood)and the style makes it look like the 70's midnight karate movies that were cool. I also like the tribute to bruce lee by Uma Thurman wearing the yellow jumpsuit through the battle with the crazy 88's

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quilt of Cult
Review: Uma Thurman will stare right at you. She'll continue to stare while you read the credits. While you listen to the funky vintage music. While you remember what it was like to feel like a superhero.

Then she'll wink, and you will suddenly realize she is there.

This movie is incredible down to the very last milli of a milli-second.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Tribute To A Great Genre
Review: Mr. Tarantino is a man who obviously loves movies.....LOVES movies. All the better still, he loves good movies. If other film directors loved movies as much as Tarantino we would have some good flicks out there, and a minimum of Michael Bays and Zack Snyders. Tarantino sets out to make the kinds of films that he loves, but with his own personal twist. Kill Bill is obviously a labor of love given Tarantino's passion for 70s kung fu flicks. I love kung fu flicks too, not as much as Tarantino(though I do rival him in our love for horror flicks), but I know enough to get all of the homages in this film. You have to go into this expecting a movie that's not 100% serious and has all of that 70s cinema corniness on purpose. Lets face it, no major studio would have released this film if any other director had made it-this film is a little more violent, zany and bizarre for the average 2 Fast 2 Furious crowd. It's a good thing Tarantino did do this or it would have just been an obscure cult hit. Tarantino shows he can do action sequences quite well-he hasn't done much of that in the past. The martial arts sequences are well done, not that Matrix-slo-mo crap. Uma Thurman looks like she really knows her stuff, though I'm sure she really doesn't know martial arts. I'm not a big Uma Thurman fan, but that takes a back seat when watching this film. Similar to Alice In Wonderland, though she may be the main character, it's all the other characters along the way that are cool. And what is Tarantino's obsession with Uma Thurman's feet? First Pulp Fiction, now here. Uma Thurman's got some nasty feet, folks! I don't know why we need to have so many long closeups of them. I can tell you I'm sure not gonna risk getting thrown out a window for massaging those feet. The rest of the cast is great though. Tarantino likes using actors he admires, not just casting Vin Diesel for a quick buck. Usually he tends to revive an old career in the process. Look at Travolta, Pam Grier and now, David Carradine. Plus we get to see Daryl Hannah as a villian. I've always liked her. Some great cameos too by Gordon Liu and Sonny Chiba. Basically, I'm recommending this film very highly coz you won't be seeing many like it. Sure, the plot is no different than a cheap Seagal movie, but this film makes up for it with storytelling, style, gore and action. So, as a favor to me, think twice before renting crud like XXX or Dorque.
