Anime revisited

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2003)

QT here has once again showed his knack for creating fleeting absurd characters, over the top action scenes, and original adaptation from various genres. In Kill Bill, QT picks The main genre "Anime" to bring to life on the big screen. If This film were done in pure cartoon Anime, it would just be another Japanese Anime flick, but here we have Anime without the cartoon.(Except for a few brief moments)
The violence depicted here is absurd and over the top, exactly what we would see in many cartoon anime series. It is not intended to shock, it is intended to stay true to the anime genre as if we were watching a true cartoon anime.
Uma Thurman aka "The splattered bride, aka Black Mamba, aka, her absurdly bleeped out true name of "Beatrice" is on your typical Anime plot based revenge march from an assassination attempt on her 4 years prior. In typical out of sequence QT, We see the first act of Vengeance, only after to get QT'a quick and fleeting foundation to the story, the reason for "Beatrice's" revenge. However we do not know the reason for the hit squads "hit" on "Black Mamba" The film is interesting and visually stunning, but lacks in depth character development. But is not not typical QT and why we like his films?
Spoiler!!!! Did anyone listen to black Mamba start to proclaim to Bill "Its your BAAAB" Then POW!! Maybe that's why Bill wanted her dead, JEALOUSLY! We shall see in volume 2 of this "Anime revisited Genre."
8 out of 10
PS Don't TAKE YOUR CHILDREN OR EVER ALLOW THEM TO SEE THIS FILM UNLESS YOU WANT YOU KID TO HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR MONTHS!
