Rating: Summary: KILL BILL IS A THRILL KILL Review: I simply dig all of Taratino's movies a true story telling genus. The guy is creative. The action is A+, although the story is nothing new he still redefines it to be unique and stylish. The over exaggerated blood is humerous yet it's needed. This movie reminds me a lot of the 70's Kung Fu movies like The Big Boss and Seven Samurai. The Shaw Brothers style zoom in close ups are so artistic. And fight secenes are apreciated for it's artistic vision. A simply loved Uma Thurman when she sported the yellow biker suit, like Bruce Lee did in GAME OF DEATH ( a favorite of mine). I a big fan of Martial Arts films and since the MATRIX's sequel sucked so bad KILL BILL helps give us Americans hope to make more Martial Arts films. Because everyone knows the Asian made ones are much better even with subtitle. KILL BILL is buy you should make I know I am. If you liked PULP FICTION, JACKIE BROWN, RESERVOIR DOGS, or NATURAL BORN KILLERS, you absolutely fal in love with KILL BILL.
Rating: Summary: Will Leave You Breathless Review: Shocking, vicious, amazing, strange, weird, and fun. These are some of the words I can use to describe it. This is probably Tarantino's most personal effort. He understood '70's martial arts flicks. You can tell he grew up watching them. Any "imitated" effort would have failed miserably (ex. Mortal Combat and Jean-Claude Van Dam movies). The only thing I didn't agree with was using the Santa Esmerelda's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" disco song in one of the fight sequences. It may have worked if not left on too long, like disco itself. What you will find a an overdose of battles but near the edge of campiness.
Rating: Summary: TORTURE to sit through. Atrocious, stupid writing. Review: This film is not only a disgusting, monomaniacal bloodbath told in the most pretentious of ways, but manifests an ignorant, unimpressive, and impotent view of the world. I studied Japanese swordsmanship and Asian martial arts for years, and Quentin Tarantino understands not the first thing about Bushido, Kung-Fu, or a FRICKIN' THING about Asian culture! I HATED this film like none other. The story is non-existnent, the acting is deplorable (special honors to Lucy Liu here), and it is just simply depressing to see so much human endeavor put into such a steaming heap of junk.
Rating: Summary: You don't know what you're missing Review: Kill Bill volume 1 is probably 1 of THE best movies ever made. It is a funny blood drenched spoof about a young woman who is betrade, by her colleagues and left for dead. she wakes up one day and finds that she has been in a comae for 4 years. And now she is seeking revenge on those have betrade her. This is a must see and when Kill Bill volume 2 comes out be sure to see that to. I give the movie a 10 out of 5 (I had to choose 5 becuase thats the limit.) I'll write a revew of the second film when I see it. Thanks for reading my review. ...-thank you
Rating: Summary: Kill Bill Thrills Review: ... Uma Thurman was awesome, the fight scenes (while definitely violent, but who cares?) were some of the best I saw all year, and Go-Go...gotta love her. I thought she was fantasic and definitely stole the show during her scenes. I also have to comment that I thought the soundtrack was by far the best out of any movie all year, I couldn't get Darryl Hannah whistling "Twisted Nerve" out of my head for days.Definitely five stars for "Kill Bill". I can't wait until Volume 2 comes out to finish out this already epic movie.
Rating: Summary: This movie was really bad Review: Kill Bill v1 resembled an old poorly-dubbed chinese kung fu movie far too much - the action sequences and sountrack were that hilarious. In addition, the animation sequences looked completely out of place. If q.t. was looking to reproduce the "freshness" of pulp fiction style-wise, imho he failed miserably. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is because I saw it on a nice new plasma screen at the Sun Valley Inn, after a decent meal.
Rating: Summary: ------KILL BILL-------vol.1 Review: The first Thing comes to people minds reading these reviews is ( should i seek watching this movie ..should i buy it ? )......... well, the answer here is YES Kill Bill is one of the best action movies appeared in the last couple of years ..i guarantee that. Kill Bill's plot is kind of old story ( a woman takes revenge from all those tried to kill her ) , BUT director, Quantan Tarantino proves that a skilled director is able to produce an ordinary consumed story with a total new vision and rhythm ..!! the movie is inspired by the action movies of the 70s period , asian action movies and Manga ( japanese comic books )..and that appears vividly in every single detail with in the movie. much effort is done in this movie , so u'd see Excellent Action , Excellent Acting, Excellent Music and Sound Effects and Excellent Visual Effects. THe Director Quantin Tarantino Used his Tools very well , and such a unique , New way.. THe way the time sequence is used is very impressing..he didn't put every thing in order..actually he did put some Past events After the recent ones...putting them in order of the events of Less Importance To these of more Importance. Music and sound effects are perfect ...the use of music is so good, music here gives more dimensions to the events..not just a background parallel to the picture..here they mingle together..(there's a very nice fight with swords with a music of a spanish dance ). Acting ...since the movie is full of action much more than conversations, the actors made great effort to appeal their feelings by eye contact and physical movements..well they did it very well, specialy Lucy Liu ( You'll see her in kill bill as u never seen her before )..and of course Uma Thurman. my last comments : - the movie have lot of Blood and offending scenes ..so if you are offended and disturbed by such scenes ..don't watch this movie. - Kill Bill vol 1 is such a big TEASER ..you will wait impatiently for Kill Bill vol 2 ...
Rating: Summary: GREAT MOVIE Review: Now i didnt actually buy this movie, I saw it in the theatres; It's an awesome movie that definitely deserves to be part of your movie collection. I mean theres not much more I can say that hasn't already been said, except maybe the following: -Support Tarantino -Above that support the Wu-Tang Clan! The Wu's "Abbot" mr. RZA did the score to this movie, and if we show our support he'll bless us with more product. Then EVERYONE'S happy...
Rating: Summary: One of the Best Movies of 2003 Review: It's scandalous that Quentin Tarantino wasn't nominated for a Best Director award. This movie takes the sword and cuts it (buttocks) hard! "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" is a tribute to old kung fu, samurai and revenge flicks. People may argue that it's a huge ripoff, but it's totally fresh. The Bride (Uma Thurman) was a part of the DiVAS, a group of mercenaries, but quit for an unknown reason. Bill (David Carradine) was the leader and he ordered his gang to off the Bride. But, they didn't exactly do a good job and she ended up recovering from her coma. She traveled to Tokyo and summoned a retired Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba) to construct the perfect samurai sword. Green Hornet music remembrance! Bruce Lee's yellow track suit is the bomb! Then in the House of Blue Leaves, she took care of everyone. A red rain had been poured all over the place! She even nailed the schoolgirl, literally! The ultimate showdown between O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and the Bride was a work of literature! Gracefulness has never looked so good in combat! "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is one of the best songs in music history! Mammoth achievement by Quentin Tarantino. Even the cliffhanger ending made quiver in my seat! Wholly! You gotta see "Kill Bill: Volume 2" to get the full impact of this masterpiece!
Rating: Summary: A Great B Movie Correlates to an Average Movie Review: Apart from the great cinematography, superb soundtrack, and thoroughly entertaining, beautifully romanticisized violence, this movie is just a B movie with a finely polished veneer. To say that the plot is lacking would be rather kind. Not only is it lacking, I have seen hundreds of martial arts/animes that have the same premise, and this movie didn't really stick out to me. Sure there are lots of dialogues and colorful characters that Terantino fans will love, but it just isn't a great movie. Entertaining as hell, but not a great movie. I hate to say it, but Terantino's best movie is, and always will be, Pulp Fiction. I wish it wasn't so, he is so damn likeable and stylish, but it's the sad truth.
