Kill Bill - Vol. 1 Customer Reviews (10 - 12 of 148 Reviews)

A Master Piece
Shockingly cruel scenes, extreme violence, and harsh language. Bravo! It's about time someone exposed the nature of humanity brooding beneath the thin skin of what we call civilization.

A true, creative work of Art. Yeah, this film is all of these and a lot more. Tarantino reveals the violent nature of our age, the anger that we hide behind in the form of political correctness.
pure genius

Don't go looking for the story??? ... sounds like someone might have missed the boat. Maybe they were looking for the Titannic instead of the eight-foot canoe next to the dock. Actually, there is a very ancient and simple storyline at work here, the same one that worked for the cheesy Hong-Kong kung-fu movies of the 70s. The same one that worked for a lot of old westerns, namely the quest for revenge, in this case, a mother's revenge. The story is simple and traditional, but like all great stories, that is not where the art lies. The art is in the satirizing of violence itself, the art dwells in the subjective abstract. The violence is extreme to the point of absurd, just like revenge is absurd, or is it? Perhaps it just is, whether we choose to embrace it or reject it, human beings are absurdly violent. Perhaps this is what Tarantino is trying to tell us.


4 1/2 stars - The ultimate "Comic Book" movie
This film zips by so fast because it's full of interesting dialogue and intense action. If you like comic books, you are bound to enjoy this film! I personally prefer Kill Bill 2, but this is classic Quentin with a whole lot more action! Part 2 really opens up the characters and dialogue, while still keeping the action intense and prevelant.

Terrible.
This movie describes the revenge of a young woman (Thurman) who was shot in the head and left to die, but survived. Now she tracks down the people who did it and kills them one by one. I admit it is stylish. It is innovative to a degree (for example, the use of animation). It is unique and well shot. And Thurman is really sexy as always. However, it is extremely violent (way too much to be enjoyable), the characters are under developed and shallow, and the plot is almost non existant. In the final scene Thurman kills with her sword an army of about 100 people. So it does not even make any rational sense. This is basically a terrible martial arts movie, even if it has all the qualities mentioned above.
