Who wouldn't want to watch a tall, beautiful woman kicking some butts?

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2008)

'Kill Bill' is an action packed, adrenaline-driven, enthralling, violent, over-the-top, bloody, merciless, exciting, stylized, funny and an extraordinary movie which seems to show no compassion to any person. Therefore, people are shown bleeding to death, though the blood seems to be like water, gushing out of the body in an unnatural yet very wonderful way that makes the movie so good.
Uma Thurman is perfectly cast as the bride, who swears to get revenge against the people of her gang who betrayed her. She is tall (yeah, 6 feet is perfect for an action movie actress), beautiful and very stunning as she shows to remorse in killing her former members and their people.
Lucy Liu too is very intimidating as Cottonmouth. Her anime sequence was probably one of the best I have ever scene. It is so demeaning, petrifying when it is shown that her parents were killed right before her eyes and she too, like bride, gets her revenge. The showdown between her and Uma was really good, especially the end result of it.
All the fight sequences were great, for example 'Bride vs the other lady member in the beginning' was really a blast, especially the very disheartening consequences, 'Uma vs Lucy's members' at the party. The latter was one of the bloodiest scenes I have watched till now. But the thing that didn't make all these scenes too gory and shocking and fun instead was the apt background music that made the scenes sound as if they were just made to be over-the-top and exciting.
The story unfolds in a very beautiful manner, with instances from the past shown in between to give it the look of a story being told by someone, the bride in this case. I'm going to go with a 9 for this one. Kill Bill doesn't have much of a message, and it isn't meant to have. Kudos Quentin!
