Masterful Action With UniqueTwists

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2007)

You are never bored watching this film and you are never confused. This film is surreal, fast paced, darkly humorous, dynamic, artfully aesthetic and, and violent. I did not find the violence in Kill Bill to be stark and cold like the kind you find in a blood-and-gore horror flick and, at times, the violence was purposefully humorous in that Tarantino sort of way.
There are at least four scenes that I can think of in this movie which are unforgettable and make this movie a genuine classic. Visually, the movie has just about everything. The cinematography in this movie is absolutely unsurpassable. Quentin Tarentino is a true master and this film may well be his masterpiece. There is some hard violence in this movie while at the same time allowing for fight sequences which almost have a superhuman quality. It should be said that the violence is darkly humorous at times, as is the case in many Quentin Tarantino films.
This film has two volumes, but you can enjoy volume 1 without watching volume 2 on the same day.
Incidentally, Lucy Liu and Uma Therman deliver two of the most memorable and provocative action movie performances I have ever seen.
The think the thing I like most about Tarantino films is that you get all the intelligence, humor and post-modern mayhem without all those boring good guys.
