stylish and entertaining movie with flaws (7/10)

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2003)

I totally agree with the guy who says that Kill Bill vol. 1 is a movie with both good and bad scenes. Some parts of the movie are very well done, with class, and style like only Tarantino can do. He makes the goriest scenes look like an art form. There's good japanese music that creates the perfect atmosphere and a lot of blood. However you won't find really interesting dialogues between the characters and when k.b. turns into a sensless kung-fu action movie , it's a little disappointing. 15 minutes of swordplay and wired stunts are boring, and spoil in part the rest of the movie. I would still recommend it because it's highly entertaining but if you are not into martial arts go with low expectations. Kill Bill v.1 is much better than Jackie Brown but doesn't even come close to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.
