The Quintessential Martial Arts/Revenge Film

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2016)

Quite possibly the greatest film I have ever seen.
Tarantino has really outdone himself on this one, from the art direction to the music, every little detail of this film was clearly hand-picked to give the maximum effect.
The action sequences are plentiful and are full of excitement. Drawing influence from 1970s martial arts films, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 brings martial arts into the new millennia. This film is not for everyone however, as it is incredibly violent (as expected of Tarantino), though the violence is very well done and adds incredible excitement to the film.
My favorite scene is the fight between the Bride and O-Ren Ishii. This scene is excellent in the way that it contrasts Japanese fighting and setting with Spanish music. The whole film is this way, contrasting things that you would not otherwise expect to work, but somehow, through Tarantino's mastery, does. The scene leading up to this one in which the Bride fights members of the Japanese Yakuza is also very memorable.
In short, 10/10. This is the quintessential martial arts and revenge film.
