Great fun!

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2003)

This movie is: (1) great fun; (2) great art; (3) distinctly Tarantino. It's not necessary to have a working knowledge of 70s kung fu movies to enjoy Kill Bill, but it helps. Tarintino's hand is obvious, but only in the best possible way: well-written dialog, interesting camera angles, artistic production additions, well-played scenes.
I saw this movie on Friday, Saturday, and may go again today. Is this his best film? I can't say that. Tarantino's films are all great in their own way, and I don't really think they compete against each other. I'll say this: Tarantino fans will not be disappointed but casual moviegoers who don't understand Tarintino's art probably will be.
10 out of 10.
