Heavy on style and low on substance.

Rating: 1/10 (11 August 2004)

Just can't really say how baffled i am at the praise piled onto this film which never really gets any higher than a tribute to spaghetti westerns and kung fu films. What little bit of plot that you do have is simple and just used as a tool to bring you to the next homage from QT. You can't really judge this film on the acting either since it is a tribute to films that really aren't known for acting and KB 1 surely doesn't break the mold. The blood shooting out like a fountain was funny the first time but becomes increasingly absurd after it was shown over and over. The action scenes aren't and are shot very well. The film certainly isn't lacking style but unfortunately substance is sorely lacking. If that is your taste great but if not Kill Bill isn't for you.
