Fantastic entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2004)

The Kill Bill movies offered up such a tremendous amount of entertainment, it's almost beyond quantifying! I originally didn't want to see these movies because the thought of the blood letting and violence put me off. For some reason, I picked up Volume I on a Friday night on a whim. I LOVED IT. The blood-letting and violence bordered on being a live cartoon (well, there it WAS part cartoon), which lessened the effect of the violence and heightened the flat out effect of entertainment. I enjoyed Part I so much that I got Part II out of the video store the next evening. Part II was different, more characterization and less flat-out blood letting. Both were extremely enjoyable. This is NOT the type of violence depicted in Reservoir Dogs, which I found to be so real that it was disturbing. If you have the taste for cartoon violence and eloquently directed fight scenes, you've GOT TO SEE this pair of films!
