Pretty Darn Nifty.... WARNING, POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2003)

Well, so far the first volume of this film embodies all of what I'm interested in as far as movies. It has lots of action, drama, suspense, violence, subtitles, strong actresses with strong acting abilities (there's nothing worse than a bad actor, seen a lot of that this summer) and great use of genre mixture. I had no idea this movie had animation in it. I have never watched a Quentin Taratino film before, but I must say this was a pleasant surprise to have all of my favorite movie types included into one picture. Vivica A. Fox didn't last too long in this one, but I guess she will be back in the second part in flashbacks. I also hear Daryl Hanna is going to get it in the next film along with of course Bill himself. And she will also find out her daughter is still alive. Very interesting... They don't even mention that when she's in the hospital. We all just assumed that she had lost the baby. But, I tell these circumstances only occur it the movies. To have the tar beat out of you when you are pregnant and then be shot and still survive and make a comeback the way the Bride does is totally amazing. I heard that Taratino was obsessed with Kung-Fu films when he was growing up as a kid, thus we have Kill Bill Volumes I & II + Samuri Swords, a whole lot of asian looking people and a bunch of blood and gor, but it's not horror movie blood and gor. I can't wait to see the conclusion.
