Overall: Very, very well done!

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2003)

---------SOME SPOILERS----------
I just returned from the cinema where I saw this "fourth film by Quentin Tarantino" (even though I really find that True Romance also is unmistakably an original Quentin-movie)
I was warned by friends and others, that I might be in for a disappointment when seeing this Kill Bill which is very far away from the gangster-style movies we normally see from QT. From frame one I was really flabbergasted. The "Shaw scope" trailer was funny, but the First few minutes of the movie were amazing. The black & white scene with mostly the look in the eyes of Uma followed by the opening credits accompanied by the wonderful song by Nancy Sinatra (Shivers down my spine!).
I will probably talk more about this movie on another time and date, when i see it again...but know I will end this comment with something that i noticed in some other reviews:
Some people complained about things that they found not plausible. Things like: "the blood escaped from the body like it was a fountain" or "How was Uma able to take a Samurai sword on an airplane?"
For those people I have some advice: This thing called Kill Bill that you have witnessed is called a "movie"...... Most movies, and most certainly this one, are a product of the imagination of someone and do not happen in real life.... It's called "FICTION"
Funny: "How was Uma able to take a Samurai sword on an airplane?" comes from people who are real movie-addicts. Probably the same addicts that love very realistic movies like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. I never see comments about those movies where they state: "Ehhhh, those Gollums do not really exist" or "The sound of explosions cannot be heard in Space"
