A flawless masterpiece!

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2006)

Movies can't get any better than this. This movie has it all; good action, blood, great story and good acting.
Yes, the blood is not that realistic. I mean, how can someone have a fountain of blood coming out of their hand and remain alive? But of course, unrealistic movies can still be great. For example, take Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars or The Matrix. Those movies were much more unrealistic than this is, and still they're in the top 250 of IMDb.
Acting was incredible. Uma Thurman, Vivica A. Fox and Lucy Lui couldn't have been more perfect. The supporting actors; like Julie Dreyfus, Chiaki Kuriyama and Sonny Chiba were awesome as well.
Without the music, this movie wouldn't have been in the top 250, trust me. The music supervisor, or whatever they call him, did an awesome job. They fit every part exactly, and the beat keeps going on in your head. For example, when Beatrix was talking to Sofie in her trunk, telling her the second reason why she kept her alive, that music was awesome and it made me shiver.
I firmly believe that everyone who watched it, liked something. It had everything. If you like action, it was full of it. If you like blood, there's a lot. If you like cartoons, there's like 10 minutes of it (it's still great, trust me). If you like thrillers, there will be a couple of surprises. If you like dramatic movies, you'll like the story. If you like comedy, it contains a bit of humor every now and then. So, you must have liked something.
For me, this is much better than the second one. This sets the mythology of the story, while the second answers everything. This one had more action and blood than the other. The only real action part in the second one was the fight against Daryl Hannah. In my opinion, this is the best movie ever made, and you just HAVE to watch it.
