A Blast!

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2005)

A quintessential Tarantino campy slash-fest, full of gore and farcical violence but an absolute joy to watch! I love campy slasher flicks. I grew up on the Dawn of the Dead movies and a lot of kung fu stuff. The brilliance of Tarantino is he takes the best parts of all those off-the-wall films and puts them into superbly entertaining films. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is one of those.
You've got guns shot through boxes of kids cereal. You've got unbelievable swordplay. You've got graceful choreography. You've got more profanity than you can shake a stick at. This film has all that stuff, and I loved practically every minute of it. And what a departure for Uma Thurman!! 9 out of 10. It's not a great classic film, but it's more than good enough to get a place of honor on your DVD shelf.
