I love It!!!

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2016)

This movie is super packed with wall to wall martial arts action! Kill Bill is the story of an assassin that became pregnant attempted to start a new life then was attacked for leaving the group she worked with. She survived the attack on her life and sought her revenge on her attackers once she woke up from several years in a coma. This film is loaded with great actors such as Uma Thurman as The Bride, Lucy Liu as O-Ren Ishii, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, and David Carradine also appear in this film although their characters don't truly manifest until Kill Bill Vol. 2. While it is easy to get lost in the action and get turned off by some of the over the top highly improbable special effects, this film is really just fun to watch and try to figure out what is going on in the mind of Quentin Tarantino as he produces films with such a unique style of editing and transition between scenes. While some of his films can be hard to keep up with kill Bill is pretty easy to follow but sometimes hard to watch as the "blood and guts factor" can be a little rough. The major focus of this film is the story of The Bride and her journey to exact revenge on her attackers and she does this in fabulous fashion! It seems that there has been such a decline in great martial arts films over the last few decades and Kill Bill Vol. 1 is defiantly a film that could light a fire in this genre. The theme of this film is purely revenge at its finest! To be more precise, revenge against the individuals that tried to destroy her life and ended her chance to be with her family. A true story of revenge reminiscent of films such as "The Punisher" and "Gladiator".
Some of the things about this film that really stuck out to me similar to most Tarantino films, were the many transitions through time the story jumps back and forth through the timeline to help piece the story of The Bride together. Also the different shots in which the characters are captured truly presents the actors in intense dramatic fashion, some of the unrealistic gore was slightly over the top but I truly believe that simply captures Tarantino's style in film production. This series is definitely on the list of my favorites when I just want to sit back and watch a good fight.
