Incredibly freakin' stupid

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2004)

Words cannot tell how mind numbingly dumb Kill Bill is. OK. Maybe they can.

First of all, there is barely any plot. A woman loses everthing and his shell-bent on revenge. Who-hoo. To a degree the nameless main character is pityable. But ultimately she is simply detestable. She was an assassin for a snake-themed assassin gang, code name black mamba.
In the opening scene, she is on screen bloodied up and then Bill shoots her in the head. Instead of killing her, she goes into a coma for four years and wakes up and just wants to kill everyone. I was in sheer disgust within the first fifteen minutes. She kills the mother of a four year old daughter in her house and then leaves non-challant and its just stupid. Since when is this kind of cold-blooded murder entertainment?
The film makes no attempt to be realistic, as blood is spewed from every wound. This is quite probably the most blood-filled movie ever made. The movie gets more and more pointless, skipping around time. The murder of the mother at the beginning happens after the end of the film chronologically. Showing copious amounts of blood the whole way.
There is and oddly out-of-place anime sequence detailin the history of Lucy Liu's "ren Ishei" The animation isn't very good, and it is only there because a nine year old girl was required for the scene and it was far too (needlesly) violent.
The movie only becomes dumber. Uma Thurman fights a room full of 200 people and surives, and the room is drenched in blood afterward. One of Oren's henchwomen disembowels a man merely for asking if she likes Ferraris.
The dialog is awful. Especially a stupid pointless scene in a restaurant where "the bride" gets her sword. The characters curse and swear pointlessly. It's all acted well enuff. There is a disgusting scene around the time the bride wakes up, where a nurse rapes and prostitutes The bride while comatose. "Buck" thankfully gets what he deserves from the bride, but it's hard to root for her.
I'll also point out that if she was in a coma for four years, her muscles would be atrophied and unusable, but that is convieniently ignored. Basically, it sucks. A two out of Ten
