You have to see this before you die!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2006)

OK the version i'm giving a review of is the uncut Japanese version, which is better than the original theatrical cut, the anime sequence is slightly longer & a bit more violent but the main difference is that when The Bride takes on the crazy 88 at the House Of The Blue Leaves its all left in colour with more limbs chopped off, the whole sequence is pure movie heaven just like the film itself, its certainly Tarantinos best looking film thanks to director of photography Robert Richardson, vol-1 has a unique fantasy feel while vol-2 looks like a western in the tradition of Sergio Leone's, Once Apon A Time In The West comes to mind, no doubt Tarantino pay's homage to that, amongst many other films. When you watch both vol's back to back the way it should be seen, it is a beautiful ultra-violent revenge epic, you are truly transported into Tarantino's movie world. A special mention must go to Uma Thurman she holds the screen magnificently, no matter how many films she does in the future Kill Bill will remain her best performance.
