Summary: a ripoff of many films
Review: This film is silly,just another fake action flick with gals trying to be tough like guys.Men invented Kung Fu,and they know best how to display it.Plus,this film rips off many similar films of the past in its action sequences and even clothes.Uma even wears one of the late Bruce Lee`s old suits! Shes not fit to wear one of his dirty socks.If Bruce were alive he would certainly be embarrassed,not complimented.Its a shame that it takes films like this crap to entertain americans today.Its a sad commentary to the increasingly bad taste of both american moviegoers and movie makers.Pass this up and see a movie of substance,like "Passion of the Christ"

Summary: Kill Bill, The Greatest Movie....Ever???
Review: From the get-go this movie starts off with something so powerful it almost forces you to pay attention and forget anything else you might be doing, Quentin Tarantino does the most brilliant job ever of holding your attention leaving you begging for more then giving you anything beyond any expectations you could have ever held. I can honestly say this is by far the greatest movie I have ever seen and I'm counting down the hours untill Kill Bill vol. 2 I can not recommend this movie to you enough.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Kill Me
Review: I'm waiting for Tarantino to go back to his Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction roots. I couldn't finish this movie. I wasted a free rental at Blockbuster on this. I wasn't expecting that much corn. I would have brought a fork. I'm not going to waste anyone's time like mine was. Give me Zed's dead over Kill Bill vol. whatever anyday.

Summary: Kill Bill...... more like bore bill
Review: This movie was slow and boring the story line was possibly the worst story line ever. How this movie got a second movie is beyond me. The fight seens sucked.. who wants to watch 2 people stare at eachother for 15 minutes and only fight for 2 seconds. It had no point it just sucked. The best part of the movie was the credits. The fight seens where cheesie you could of cut the chees with a knife it was so bad

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wish I Would Have Caught This In Theaters!
Review: Just bought this film today and watched it for the first time due to all the great reviews I read and of course having Tarantino's name on it sure helps. One Word can only be used to describe this movie: WOW! I had high hopes and this surely surpassed them. I can't wait for Volume: 2 this Friday, which is already getting rave reviews and being called better than the first Volume which is hard to believe but most likely true. Uma Thurman rocks in this movie! I had no idea she could pull off a physical role like this and I can't picture anyone else in the role of The Bride now. Lucy Liu is also shockingly good in this ruthless role where she cuts off the head of anyone not in agreement with her. I love the fight scenes of course, with the over the top and unrealistic gore, but its the soundtrack that really molds the movie together and fits perfectly with each scene. This is easily my favorite Tarantino film (or at least until Volume: 2 comes out!) because it is less talky than his other three movies and it showcases the action and style we all love him for. Loved the cliffhanger ending and can't wait to actually see Daryl Hannah (Elle), Michael Madsen (Budd), and especially the man himself, David Carradine, in action as BILL on April 16th!

Summary: My fave movie~
Review: After the first thirty minutes, of shock and gore, I found myself sinking in to the story! I have been waititng for it for months (...) since i found about it on the internet.
Uma Thurman plays Black Mamba who has a score to settle with her old friends who turned on her. She is great in it, in her yellow biker suit (...) literally flyig in the air and doing some of the most unbelievable figting sequences possible. I have never though of Uma as tha t kind of actress, but she does it so well here, I couldnt help but root for her.
I think my mouth was open through out the whole movie, it was that good, and with the crazy 70's inspired soundtrack and some great music fetaured in the trailers by Tomoyasu Hotei, this is a must see, cant wait for the DVD.
If u like whacky characters dressed in awesome costumes, beautiful scenery (Uma's duel with Lucy Liu takes plae in a serene japanese Garden with snow falling is amazing!) and most important blood spilling everywhere, severed limbs and head flying, assasins spiralling through air, this is a major gem in the movie world, one of my favorite movies ever, for sure.

I am however waiting for the end of the year, to get the 3 box DVD set, of vol1, vol2 and a dvd box full of extras and behind scenes.

Summary: Almost threw up, but that's not a condemnation...
Review: When I saw this in a European theatre, I was shocked, appalled, and scarred. I expected, from the few trailers I saw (this film was advertised much on paper, little on television here in the Czech Republic) I expected it to be a Charlie's Angels-esque comedy/action film. Then a friend saw it and told me it was stupid, so I thought that is was a STUPID comedy/action film. When I went, I was proven wrong. While at the theater, I must confess I had to leave several times, as I am not accumstomed to nor was I prepared for this level of violence. But I kept coming back in after only a few minutes of missing the screen ( i could still hear the sound). I said to a friend that it was "a surrealistically dark gore-fest of macabre art forms" or somesuch and I stand by it. In the theaters, I thought it was a crime to make a movie such as this. BUT...after i left the theater and I began to replay it in my mind, I realized that this is one of the most artistically excellent films I have ever seen. Yes, it is bloody. Overly bloody. BUt I don't see it as distasteful, immature, or comedy. It's an artistic statement. Everything, the music, cinematography, special effects, were all an excercise in artistic ability. Torentino is beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the most brilliant artists I have ever seen at work, and this is the only one of his films I have seen thusfar. The anime sequence is appalling, but that's an artistic statement, mixng the innocense of cartoon animation with horrific violence. I know he's not the first to do it. But he has perfectly packaged a mixture of every artistic form I can imagine, except possibly for religious imagery, I don't remember. It's not a goth-art thing, but ALL other artforms are encompassed in this film (except for classical art). Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the second film. Torentino has earned my deep respect as a director and an artist. Brilliant man, with an understanding of the human mind's reaction to stimulus that in unsurpassed in this time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Gratuitous
Review: The incredible amount of the gore and violence is surpassed only by the all-encompassingly boring dialogue. Never has my watch moved so slowly, and in a sold-out theatre, no less! The sexuality is disgusting, the gore is over-done (to say the least) and the dialogue is terrible. I could not find one redeemingly witty or clever comment in the entire script.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Can you say, rip off?
Review: To say that Tarrantino pays "loving tribute" to grindhouse cinema, Hong Kong action flicks and spaghetti Westerns is an incorrect statement. He doesn't pay tribute to anything, he basically RIPS OFF scenes, music, and camera shots from a score of classic movies in the above mentioned genre's.

It's not new, it's not refreshing and it's not original, it's simply a hack slapping together a meddley of borrowed scenes, wrapped around his own silly story. He even copied Bruce Lee's get up from Game of death, lol.

How can you really blame him though? These days ripping off and rehashing old movies is a common and well accepted practice in a Hollywood so painfully devoid of creativity.
