Summary: Lacking in bonus features, but still stellar!!
Review:

I saw Kill Bill twice in the theater and could not wait for it to come out on DVD, packed with bonus features. Alas, one commentary and some trailers. Sigh...

This film is still an awesome tale of revenge, with Uma Thurman as the Bride, who awakens from a coma and begins visciously and methodically taking out her former co-DiVAS. The anime sequence, telling us of the childhood suffering of O-ren Ishii is even more spectacular than in the theater! The special effects are top-notch, even the sounds of the swords, and are more cartoonish than gory. It is truly the little things that make this a unique film, including a soundtrack produced by the RZA.

I can't wait to see the second installment, hopefully it gets a better DVD treatment when the time comes.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a waste of time and money!
Review: I got this movie becasue I liked Quentin Taratino's previous success in "Pulp Fiction". This is nothing like it and does not show the same inventive flow. It is cartoonish, dull, not exciting, boring, full of insipid and umemotional violence and generally not worth wasting time and money to see.
I am glad I saw this, however, so I won't waste time and money on KB2.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Gore soup
Review: Quentin Tarantino worked his @$$ off in this gore fest.The beginning is innapropriate becuz it shows a woman lying with blood all over her face and gets shot.The DVD has many great features like musical appearances from The 5,6,7,and 8's

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME
Review: Awesome revenge film!!! I wasn't expecting to like this movie when I was forced to go the watch by a friend at the theaters. Throughout the movie, I was surprised the rare artistic expressions of the story line. I saw Kill Bill Volume 2 today, and I can't wait for the DVD release. It's a must see movie!!!

Summary: horrible
Review: This movie was very stupid and comic like. I cannot believe i wasted a couple of hours in my life on this movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Incomplete storyline
Review: A vengeful bride, a murky assasination plot and lots of violence and gore are the key elements in this Quentin Tarantino movie. As ususal, he tells the story in a series of plots which relate to a larger theme. The problem is that at times the plots are not in sequence. This leads to some confusion on the part of the audience. Combine this with the undeveloped background of the characters and the audience is left with too many questions. There is a humorous element in the premise of a bride (unnamed) who is exacting revenge with a Katana sword, sort of like Bride Magazine meets Highlander, but overall it is a silly unbelievable plot with little redeeming value. Some good sword techniques if you are into the Martial Arts though. I understand Volume 2 will be out soon and will explain some of the things which were left out in this version of the story. Maybe someone who sees it will fill me in.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great feature...waiting for the SE.
Review: I actually saw this movie while I was underway since the Navy gets advance copies to watch before it hits stores and have to say that the type of action in this particular flick comes in short supply these days and apparently on the first release of the DVD, so do the extras. For those wondering, this knocks it down a star. I was really expecting a two-disk, boatload-of-extras extravaganza and all I got was a making-of featurette (a relatively short one at that) and a couple of music videos from the band featured in the film. I take comfort in knowing that this is just a regular box office marketing ploy and there'll be special editions lining the shelves during Christmas time. Enough said about that though! In the meantime, you have a rock solid movie that entrances and entertains and well as makes you laugh and cringe (LOL....the end fight scene makes me do both). Wonderful, colorful characters with a meandering (meaning this in a GOOD way) plotline. Tarantino has struck gold again and will be very much looking forward to seeing Vol. 2 on the silver screen when I get the chance. Pick it up to satisfy your craving.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: a kung fu ripoff
Review: This film features a couple of vengeful females trying to be tough like men.Its a predictable overused theme in many films today and americans are growing bored with it.Watching men do fight scenes is far more entertaining,especially remembering that men invented Kung Fu and sword fighting.Men invented physical toughness too.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A lot of oomph and a lot of Quentin
Review: Kill Bill, Volume 1 started was filled with a lot of energy, and Quentin Tarantino, seeing how it was his movie, definitely left his 'better' marks on it. However, I could not fully get into the movie. I know that Kill Bill is a homage to old Asian fighting movies, and spaghetti westerns, and in that light the movie flows, but from an average viewer standpoint who probably has not seen too many of those, it just is a lot of fighting with a lot, and a lot, of fake overdone bloody scenes. Now, if you like Quentin then you will probably like this movie, because it is done in a very creative, yet still Quentin style. I guess, the movie overall is okay, especially since they had the time to put in a creative anime sequence, but I still did not think too highly of the movie overall.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What is this mess!
Review: I like movies such as blade and Crouching tiger... and others, but this is out there. For the record this is one of the most ultra violent, bloody,and revengeful movies that I have ever seen. It is Samurai Jack meets Charles Angel and Blade. The blood makes Jason, Halloween, Jeepers Creepers, and Aliens look tame by comparison. This movie is a super ultra-bloody, and violent. This is no way a compliment. Although the fight scene are unbelievably cool and good, I hope no one is stupid enough to let their children watch this mess. This film could have been better. The guts coming out is over the top. I got the point that the guy had to die.
