UUUUUUUMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Yes, KILL BILL vol. I is gory and ultra-mega-violent. What did we expect, 103 Dalmations?? I for one, love this flick! Uma Thurman is beautiful, vengeful, and perfectly lethal as "The Bride", driven to track down and pay back those who made such a mess of her wedding day. The fight scenes between The Bride and Copperhead (Vivica A. Fox) are startling. When Copperhead's daughter comes home from school, we don't know what will happen next! The Bride's trip to Japan is of course, the odyssey that leads to the ultimate confrontation between The Bride and O-Ran Ishii (Lucy Liu) in that soon-to-be-bloodsoaked Tokyo nightclub. Tarentino pulls out the stopper and lets the shredded limbs fly! I'm not a gore fan, yet the excess didn't bother me a bit. It simply added to the overall mood / atmosphere of the film. It's a very darkly humorous, intentionally over-the-top, samurai sword swinging, tribute to Bruce Lee and all things kung-Fu cheese! I've heard others complain about Tarantino's movies, but nothing like the belly-aching campaign over KILL BILL! That was enough to get me to buy it right there. Watch it and make up your own mind...

Quentin Tarantino's Tribute &...
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.

Perfect!
Though I've never seen any other film by Tarantino, including Pulp Fiction, I'm very interested after watching this amazing movie starring Uma Thurman, called Kill Bill, Volume 1.

This movie's basically about a bride-to-be who finds herself waking up from a coma she's been in for 4 years, only to realize that the ones who she onced worked with, the ones who had orchestrated the plan to eliminate her, had stolen the one thing precious to her...her baby. Amazingly surviving a brutal beating and a shot to the head, Uma's character, codename "Black Mamba", quickly sets out to seek revenge...her ultimate goal being to kill the one (who was the father of the baby), Bill.

This film is filled with comedy (thankfully, not to where it has so much that it ruins the movie), suspense, action, gross-out/outrageous scenes, and surprise after surprise! This movie will ultimately leave you wanting for more...and now that Volume 2's hit theatres, those wanting more will be satisfied. Volume 2 won't disappoint.

For all the bad things that have been said about her, Darryl Hannah (through both volumes) does an amazing job playing an one-eyed assassin whose goal's to ultimately defeat the "greatest warrior she had ever encountered." Her character, Elle, is a slightly mysterious, yet creepy character who wants nothing more than to put an end to The Bride. But, nothing major will happen between Elle and Black Mamba until the second volume.

The action scenes in Kill Bill, Volume 1 are amazing! The fighting is something else...like...how could I describe it... "perfected-fighting" --- by this I mean, fighting that's interesting, stylish, and overall amazingly breathtaking. The action scenes are that outrageous and they'll leave you wanting for more. Uma has some pretty interesting battles, including a major one between Lucy Lui's character and the "Crazy 8" group, as well as the back-up group, the "Crazy 88" .... The Crazy 8 really is crazy....the creepiest member being a young girl named Gogo wielding a spiked steel mace that also has razor blades sticking out of it....'What she lacks of in years is made up for in madness'... something to that effect, anyway.

Kill Bill, Volume 1 is basically an outstanding movie that movie lovers have been longing for... a movie about revenge, filled with lots of action, some comedy, and a plot which anyone could relate to...seeking revenge on those who take the most treasured thing away from you.

A definite two thumbs-up! 5 Stars for the first volume of Kill Bill!
