Rating: Summary: Eeeh? Did I miss something? Review: Blood, blood and more blood. Fighting, fighting and more fighting. Maybe the fans like it, but I'm so old fasion that I want to have a plot in a film to like it. If you like gore this is your film, but I don't like it.
Rating: Summary: Godlike Review: He promised and did it. So, the 4th film by QT starring Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox. And when I mean starring I really mean it. Goddamn, I would never think fighting girls can be so sexy! Thanks to Uma. Because it is her created character, not Quentin's. Yeah, stylih blonde-killer is damn good. Almost godlike. She could be killed 192 times throughout the movie. But you can't kill the God, a?The other thing is Lucy. After C. A.: full throttle I saw her in my worst nightmares. In Bill she is good, though. But this is Quentin's achievment. Some say movie is awfully bloody. Wrong. While watching it I laughed so loud. And that means 100% Tarantino came back. Killing people have never been as esthetically beautiful as here. Many are disappointed with splitting the movie into volumes. So was I. But if you think you'll realize it is clever. Do you really think you would seat all three hours there? Think not. Goddamn, this is not LOTR! P.S. people, don't read the script of the 2nd volume before watching it, please. It is very bad thing to do.
Rating: Summary: Not My Kind of Movie Review: This is not my kind of movie. I don't like action films, fighting, killing, etc...it is all very boring. Ususally. Kill Bill Vol. 1 was one of the best films I saw last year. I saw it twice in the theater, it was just so entertaining. The audience never loses interest. I even liked the soundtrack. Bang bang...five stars.
Rating: Summary: Couldn't wait until it was over Review: I knew from the beginning how dumb it was going to be. Uma Thurman knocks on the door and her and Vivica Fox start fighting. Then there's some cussing. Then more fighting. Then we go on to more scenes. More fighting. More cussing. Enter Lucy Liu (who sucks by the way). More fighting. More cussing. Get the gist yet? That pretty much about sums up the movie. Fighting and cussing. And not to mention overdone graphic blood scenes to hide an otherwise inept plotline. Oh and by the way, who was Bill? Oh yeah that's right, we have to see volume 2. So in other words, Tarantino is cashing in for two movies because you would have to see whatever the hell is going to go on in the second one. Like anyone cares at this point.
Rating: Summary: INCREDIBLE Review: The movie was amazing. If you are a Tarantino fan then this is a must have.
Rating: Summary: The American Version is left lacking.. Review: THis was a great film, though it was drastically edited for the American Audiances. You would think that for the dvd release he would have added all of the stuff he was forced to remove and colorized the fight scenes - which were only black and white in America. The other countries were able to see the film as actually intended in full color and bloody. It's disappointing that the DVD release didnot include the true version of the film...
Rating: Summary: Release An Unrated Version.... Review: If they release an unrated version with the black and white scenes in color it'll the top DVD buy for this title.
Rating: Summary: Tarantino's Writers Block Documented Review: I like the Amazon Reviewer's comment "trash for connoisseurs." I am a fan of Tarantino. This movie was painful to watch- bad pun not intended. What we have is an arty comic book styled horror flick that has a loopy story line that seems to drone on forever. Blood and guts are vibrantly splayed throughout the movie in an attempt to make a dull storyline more cinematically elegant. The climax of the movie is a fight scene with more detached carnage than a large meatpacking organization during peak operating hours. Tarantino is very definitely twisted. His "art" has digressed into graphic debauchery. Maybe he should seek professional help. Tarantino's attempt to show beauty in the gruesome and grotesque, wrapped in a high art style, is as sneering as something like Robert Mapplethorpe's visual work or De Sade's novels. Tarantino might be trying to mock film conventions and praise obscure genres. Some will say that he is pushing the envelope and this movie is artistically valuable. More than likely he is just thoroughly desensitized to violence and paying homage to an elegant sado masochistic fantasy- one that would have been best not revealed. Enjoying this movie is as decadent as going to an ancient Roman gladiator match and rooting for the lavish slaying rituals of man and animal while drinking fine wine and dining on gourmet cheeses. I guess that I just don't see the brilliance of this film.
Rating: Summary: An absolute delight for the eccentric palette Review: It's been my experience that one either delights in Tarantino's films, or they do not. But those opinions tend to go to the extreme. Perhaps Tarantino's "not-so-mainstream" approach gives his movies their unique appeal. After all, it *is* human nature to be curious about that which is different. And different "Kill Bill Vol. 1" is. It's the little curiosities and snippets of quick wit that give this movie it's surreal humor (yes, humor). And anime lovers will appreciate the history of Oren-Ishii, a mini-revenge plot in of itself. Being a martial arts/fitness enthusiast, I was originally attracted to this movie because of its action and super-human Matrix-esque fight scenes. I was somewhat disappointed as to the over-obviously fake scenes where limbs were severed. However, this may have been intentional - a homage to the marital-arts movies of the past. Overall, I personally enjoyed the movie. And yes, I'll be in theaters when Vol. II arrives. However, if you are looking for stunning visual effects involving computer-generated graphics, then my recommendation would be to stick with Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne.
Rating: Summary: Overrated Review: Definitively this picture is overrated. The story is simple, nothing special, maybe a 8 year old boy would make it more spectacular, the film develops as a video game, a little bit enjoyable, not serious, i was very dissapointed.
