A movie by Quentin Tarentino? Who cares?

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2003)

I guess I don't really care one way or another who created this movie and what I should expect from him. Compared to other movies I've seen this year, Kill Bill had a very interesting way of telling the story and I really enjoyed the use of anime and black and white. I thought it brought something to the movie that, without it, would have made it just an ordinary gore fest.
I do question whether this movie really needed to be cut into two. The fight with O-Ren's army could have been just as interesting if it had been cut by 75%. At any rate, Uma pulled of the fighting beautifully. And though there were a few cheesy moments with the sword, there were so many things I enjoyed (Wiggle your big toe, the Bride's comment to the little girl in the kitchen, the restaurant in Okinowa...)
I'll go see Volume II without hesitation.
