SIMPLY BRILLIANT!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2004)

Hi Yall!
This is my first review, so please bear with me.
Some time ago I first heard about Kill Bill from some talk show, Conan O'Brain or Jay Leno I am not quite sure, but as soon as I heard that it was a Tarantino's, I was dead sure I wanted to see it, and plus, it has the lovely Uma Thurman. However, being very sensitive, and not a fan of gory or violent movies - even though I am 22yo guy, I had second thoughts of catching this movie. I know Tarantino's style, I loved `Pulp Fiction' and `Jackie Brown', but as I saw how almost everybody reacted to the gruesome fighting scenes, I thought it was one of the sickest movies ever! I fought with myself for a long time, then decided with what-the-heck mood to see it. And I was BLOWN AWAY!!!!
The mastermind has done it again!
*SPOILERS* If you haven't seen the movie and would love to, and don't want any part of it revealed to you, please READ NO FURTHER!
I hate martial arts movies, actually I have never finished watching a whole martial art movie in my life, I always got bored and had to leave the theatre. But this one I knew it would be different. That artistic 70's vision of the movie was amazing. I enjoyed every little bit of it. The most thing I enjoyed was the introduction scene, with the song playing `Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'. That song was stuck in my mind for hours!
Okay, what else about the movie.. Yeah.. I got attached very easily to the characters, especially to the bride. During the movie I was chanting `Kill them, Kill Them ALL!' The fighting scenes, according to a lot of people, were very violent, but not to me. I am very sensitive, and the view of blood makes me sick, but I guess I got used to violence and gore for all the horror and thriller movies I watched. And I was quite pissed when the screen turned into black and white during the Crazy88 massacre scene -for censorship-.
Yeah, when the name of the Bride was bleeped, I was really pissed. I never thought it was the making of Tarantino, I thought it was a profanity or some political-related insensitive remark or something, but then I researched on the net, and read the movie's script, I realized it was done intentionally. I guess the joke was on me! And the final fight scene between O-Ren Ishii and the Bride was breath-taking! I loved the character of O-Ren, and felt very sad when she died, but was quite happy too for the Bride. And need I mention the last scene in the trunk! That got me hanging for the sequel!
I give this movie a perfect score 10/10! It even deserves more.
