All style, no substance (in a good way)...

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2003)

This is definitely the most entertaining movie I've seen this year, but it's not up to par with Tarantino's other work IMHO. My main impression of the movie is that it serves as the ultimate homage to a variety of asian martial arts films, mixed with a heavy influence from anime and cheesy 70's action movies. Kill Bill is all style and little substance, which is not necessarily a bad thing because this is an amazing movie to watch.

It's hilarious throughout, has a great cast, and could be regarded as the first authentic live-action anime. But Tarantino's trademark depth of characters and storytelling is oddly lacking, and extended scenes with little to no dialogue makes the movie seem longer than it should be.
Overall this is an extremely entertaining movie and is tons of fun to watch, but lacks some of the emotional depth prevalent in Tarantino's other films, I give it **** out of four stars.
