Another great Tarantino movie

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2006)

It has been quite some time since 'Pulp Fiction' made me adore Tarantino in the 90'ies, and even if Jackie Brown was sort of disappointing (despite starring Robert De Niro, my favorite actor), I could hardly wait Kill Bill Vol.1. And this time, i was delighted. Just the Bride's fight against the Katana-armed boy group was worth going to the movies twice. Actually, even the greatest Tarantino fan will have to admit that there are some minor weaknesses (O-Ren saying her last sentence with half her brain chopped off, or the Bride recovering way too quick after an endlessly seeming coma...come on, she should be unable to move for days, considering her not having exerted a single muscle for years...), but if you ignore them and don't take the whole thing too seriously, it's just great fun. It's another of those "love it or hate it" - movies, this, if you enjoyed Pulp Fiction and/or Reservior Dogs, you shouldn't miss this one. The sound track is, as usual for Tarantino, very well fitting. By the way: I favor Vol.1 over Vol.2, probably because of the lack of blood shed in part two.
