Another classic from Quentin Tarantino

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2014)

I have always admired Tarantino's films. I love his style of mixing engaging dialogue and melodramatic violence in producing interesting films. But for some reason Kill Bill has always been bottom of my list to watch, but I eventually got around to watching it and I was not disappointed.
Tarantino does not wait to get this film started with a very dramatic opening sequence. It opens with a fight scene, followed by a conversation that slowly reveals the plot to the viewer but keeping many things hidden, like the protagonist's name.
The film ends with a great fight scene, with Uma Thurman taking down hundreds of Japanese fighters with her samurai sword and eventually getting her revenge on Lucy Liu. Another thing I have always loved about Tarantino is his use of strong women to play the lead roles in his film. It is not done enough by the big Hollywood films and it's refreshing to see films that reject the clichÃ© characters of the popular movies.
The thing I loved about this film the most was the anime scene midway through the movie. It was done really well, with a great art style and managed to capture the violence that Tarantino captures with live action. It was a great addition to the film and shows Tarantino's love for all different types of film.#
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and look forward to the second instalment.
