Go Quentin!

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2004)

Quentin Tarantino is the master. As a fan of his genius, I can only say, "bravo!" You have struck gold again.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is cinematic art at it's best. Uma Thurman kicks butt (literally) as an assassination survivor out for revenge. And she looks great too, prancing around in her Bruce Lee yellow leather outfit. (I wish I had looked that great a year after having a baby.)
The film jumps around ala Pulp Fiction, but what do you expect? This is, after all, a Tarantino film. Any other director would not have dared put in so much blood-spraying and whacking off of body parts. And this isn't even a horror movie.
The cherry on top of the cake was the casting of David Carradine as Bill. Yes! All Kung Fu fans the world round are cheering. And we don't even get to see him, but we know. Oh, we know. I can hardly wait for Volume 2, so I can see the resolution.
What else can I say that hasn't already been said in so many other reviews. If you are a fan of Tarantino films, you will love his efforts here. He delivered exactly what he promised. A great film.
Rank: 10
