very well made film from Tarantino

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2004)

After my first viewing of Kill Bill i was left with a feeling of "what the hell was that." After the second viewing of the film i loved it. The music works with the film perfectly and really complements the pacing of the film. The dialogue can be a little hokey but plays out perfectly in a showdown, Leone-like style. Overall, the movie is very entertaining though there is extreme, extreme violence. I am not particularly squeamish when it comes to movie violence as i have seen many movies much more brutal that kill bill; however, the violence in the film manages to maintain a slapstick like quality and never takes itself too seriously. Great movie, I'm really looking forward to seeing Vol. 2.
