FilmCreature Reviews 'Kill Bill: Vol. 1'

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2007)

First off, I'm going to tell you that Kill Bill is the most violent movie I have ever seen. It crosses all boundaries. Actually, it beheads, dismembers, and slaughters all boundaries. It is super-violent, gory fun.
Uma Thurman, in my opinion, should have been nominated for an Academy Award for her stellar performance as The Bride, a woman whose entire bridal party was massacred by Bill (David Carradine), her former lover, and his team of assassins. The Bride wakes up after four years in a coma, and finds the baby she once had is gone. So she sets out on a quest for vengeance against all those who wronged her by killing all she cared about. She does so in bloody, exciting action sequences with a nice, big samurai sword obtained from a master swordmaker (Sonny Chiba).
This is a great, ridiculously violent movie filled with the signature, hilarious Tarantino dialogue and action.
