After "Kill Bill", the blonde jokes changed....forever! (And this is the review from both Vol. 1 and 2)

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2013)

After the not so successful "Jackie Brown," Quentin Tarantino became a unknown and forgotten legend with only 3 films on his career. 6 Years later Tarantino confirmed his great return to filmmaking with "Kill Bill" Vol. 1-2. Many did not believe: thought he had lost his originality; his style would never fix in this new generation, but boy, we were wrong.
"Kill Bill", both part 1 and 2 show the great talent of Tarantino and shows why he is a true legend in cinema. Not only keeps its great and very intelligent originality but also makes a great tribute to the old Kung Fu and martial arts movies alongside with the old classic Western style, all in both Vols. that function as a single movie.
The story begins, with another unforgettable character of Tarantino, "The Bride" (Uma Thurman). A beautiful blond woman appearing punched and shot in the head at her wedding (that's why she is called the Bride, she was unmarked so the police dubbed in that way).
Apparently she survived, and after a 4 years coma she wake up and find out that she had lost her baby (she was also pregnant). She swear it revenge against those responsible ... their former coworkers and her lover Bill (David Carradine). "The Bride" was an assassin who worked for her lover, soon after she found out that was pregnant she run away from the killing business. After a few years their own former colleagues along with Bill went after her to put an end for this betrayal, but they only woke up a sleeping giant.
In the 1st part of the story, we see "The Bride" going after the first two targets on her list: O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) the queen of all the Japanese mafia; and Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) a 'simple' housewife. In this first part Tarantino shows his great talent in making a bloody violence and also pays tribute to the old kung fu and martial arts movies, all together delivering a bloody battle between "The Bride" and "The Crazy 88s" (the private army of teen's samurai working for O-Ren) with a direction that is simply superb.
In part 2 we continue with the great quest of vengeance of "The Bride" after the other names on her list: Budd (Michael Madsen) the lazy good-hearted own Bill's brother; and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) the cruel new lover of Bill; and also, the man itself, finally in person...Bill. Part 2 differs a bit from Part 1. While the 1st is seemed a crazy and beautiful martial-arts film, the 2nd part is also crazy but now is a true modern Western with angry blondes killing themselves. Not only in action scenes (which are few here) that Tarantino excels directing, but also delivers a fantastic and original writing giving dialogs full of Tarantino smartness and a fun black humor.
Not only that Tarantino is highlighted with a brilliant screenplay and his stylish direction but also the entire cast that fits perfectly into Tarantino style. All simply excellent: Michael superb; David Carradine fantastic as ever; Uma Thurman.... PERFECT, badass, suffering, hilarious, unforgettable.
"Kill Bill" was the big return of Tarantino to show that he came to stay. With a story very well written and directed together with unforgettable characters, with Tarantino style more enhanced conquering fans of this generation and won even more in the future but not forgetting this unforgettable classic.
