An Excellent Action Movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2015)

Kill Bill is, as you can clearly tell by the title, is an action movie, mostly focused around killing Bill. It's clear with just one look at this film that it's going to be a action-packed, bloody thrill ride. And boy, it sure is.
Kill Bill, although somehow managing to pull off a 2 hour run time, feels too short. Not too much happens, and that's where it seems to suffer the most. It is a two-part series, so that did leave hope for more development. Still, it felt like the productiveness of the movie was lacking, and although we certainly got to witness some amazing fights, that was really about it.
The fights themselves, however, are great. Their bloody, fast, and very cool to watch. Fun Fact: The movie actually received an X rating (above R) for violence, and one of the final scenes had to be toned down. Tarantino did this simply by taking away the color and making the whole scene in black and white. Color or not, this was still a great scene. The action is all so over-the-top that it's actually funny, yet still so cool to watch.
Overall, Kill Bill Volume 1 is very entertaining, and a whole lot of fun. It lacks in story and development, but if you like violent movies as much as I do, then this is certainly one you need to see. It's easily one of the best action movies out there.
