Kill Bill: Vol.1 (2003) - One of Tarantino's Finest Films!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2012)

Considered as one of Quentin Tarantino's best movies, "Kill Bill: Vol.1" is the first volume in a series of two movies, starring Uma Thurman as the Bride, a woman seeking revenge on a past lover, portrayed by David Carradine, for losing her pregnant baby, while ending up in a coma. The entire 111-minute motion picture is filled with well-choreographed martial arts sequences. They perfectly help tell the story in such a visionary fashion, and let's all be honest with ourselves, "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" is exciting as hell. After her excellent supporting performance in Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", Uma Thurman brings yet another excellent portrayal as a woman seeking revenge to those who ruined her life. Besides Thurman and Carridane, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and Julie Dreyfus provide excellent supporting performances to add more enjoyment to this motion picture. Filled with creative anime sequences, graphic killing scenes, and scenes filled with blood, "Kill Bill: Vol.1" is probably a lot of fun, that you forget where that 111-minute run time went. The first volume of Kill Bill is more seen as a tribute to the classic martial arts movies of the modern era, such as Hong Kong martial arts films, spaghetti westerns, and revenge flicks. Then, we have our movie, and it's awesome! Quentin Tarantino is one of cinema's finest directors, and now he has made another masterpiece after the next. If I had to make a "favorite movies of all time" list, this movie has to be around here somewhere. "Kill Bill: Vol.1", in my review, "a thrilling accomplishment, expertly-made fight scenes".
