Much better than I was expecting
Timing is everything -- as this movie proves repeatedly. From an opening scene where the dialogue is perfectly timed with a gunshot, to the well choreographed sword fights, the timing of everything coming together for this movie is perfect. This is not the type of movie I would normally go to see -- and I didn't see it in the theaters -- but I was intrigued by the title and had been looking forward to the opportunity to rent it for awhile. This is one I'll definitely buy, now that I've seen it. All aspects of it were much better than I was expecting. The action comes at you so fast, it was over before I knew it, and it certainly didn't feel like I'd been sitting there for nearly 2 hours watching it. What I'd heard and read about the violence was certainly true -- the gory aspects of it are so overdone, they're actually humorous, and don't really feel like you're watching that much violence. Now I've just got to count down the days until Friday, when Vol. 2 comes out. Highly recommended!

Kill Bill : culture recquired !
For the past decade, American cinema has produced the worst there was to be made in terms of filmmaking, as well as the best. In the Hollywood brain-washing jungle universe, Tarantino belongs to an endangered species : the brilliant director. For most of the Hollywood-addicted zombies, or "average movie-goers" as officially stated, Tarantino's "oeuvre" doesn't stand much of a true appreciation chance. It is like hoping for an illiterate to appreciate Shakespeare,Proust,Dostoïevski.Thus, unsurprisingly , "Kill Bill" wasn't a thrill in the ranks of those who still mistake John Ford with Henry Ford, don't have a clue about The New Wave in Europe, John Woo's Honk-Kong period,Japanese animation or Sergio Leone's westerns. How could they not find "Kill" "boring" as I happened to read? Tarantino is everything American cinema was at its best and everything it should be, yet it is outstanding to witness the foreign trend of his work, the broad references which appeared to elude so many.
Eventually, for every person with a functionning brain and intending to keep it that way, buy "Kill Bill", the rest, as Bono sings "will pass".

Terrible Movie
This is the worst movie I have seen all year. There is no character development just blood and guts. I am a fan of QT however this was a big disappointment after he has had a 10 year hiatus.
