A great addition to the Tarantino collection

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2014)

Quentin Tarantino is quite a controversial director but I really believe that he is one of the best ever and I love his style with Kill Bill vol 1 being another great film. The story sees a woman called the Bride waking up from a coma with revenge on her mind after she was shot in the head and her unborn child dead from the attack. Now Uma Thurman was attempting to recover from the horrible thing that was Batman and Robin and she was great in this film. She was one of the biggest bad asses ever and really used her acting ability to get across why she id looking for revenge without much info on why. Lucy Liu is the main adversary and she does a good job with the action scenes, and her and Thurman's chemistry was good. However, apart from her the rest of the side characters looked good for the small time they were in the film but they weren't given a lot of screen time probably setting up more screen time in the future. The story is quite basic with her looking for a quest of revenge that was cool but also quite basic, I did really like the twist also that happened at the end of the film. But as I said before there isn't a lot explained and also I hated the anime scenes as I thought they really took me out of the film. The script is just like all Tarantino films with it being fun and witty with the dialogue being great between everybody. The style is also something that is considered controversial but I love it because it is over the top but all the action and story are over the top so it fit perfectly. Overall I don't think this is one of Tarantino's best films but it still is a great film to his library.
