Style over substance

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2003)

I've expected lot of blood everywhere and almost no story at all so hard that I was kinda surprised that it wasn't that bad about the blood or the story either. But never mind, this movie wasn't about the story, it was about style - style over substance. The creative way of displaying otherwise already boring scenes and situations kept me enjoying Kill Bill.
Among other things they were: black and white scene (where 'blood' was obviously replaced with water), animated scene, retro music, and the fight with bola. Anyway, the strongest character for me was Chiaki Kuriyama as Go Go Yubari. Her eyes were so wicked and her other features so sharp, she was the only character that gave the skin crawl.
And one more thing: the violence wasn't gratuitous, it was all exaggeration. Oh well, Kill Bill was fun. 8/10
