Hurry up with Volume II !!

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2003)

Kill Bill (Volume I) lives up to or exceeds all the pre-release hype. Usually when I hear so much about a movie before it's released, it's because it's a weak, lame movie, and the producers know it, so they advertise like crazy to try to get people to go. That certainly isn't the case here. Tarantino has done it again! I don't know exactly what it is, but the older I get (I just turned 60) the more I enjoy Tarantino's warped and twisted mind! I used to think that David Lynch and Steven King were twisted, but they don't hold a candle to Quinton Tarantino! I imagine a lot of viewers would find the overabundance of blood spray to be a turn off, but I caught myself laughing several times during the goriest of scenes. I think that was because the scenes were so far out and implausible, you know they aren't real, and could never happen that way in real life. At least that's how I justify my reactions. Una and Lucy were superb. Even Daryl Hannah did a wonderful job in her role. She just gets better with age! I can't wait for Volume II to hit the screen. It's definitely on my "must see" list! Kill Bill certainly makes movies like Charlie's Angels look weak and, at best, very childish and silly!
