Not as good as everybody says

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 2004)

Kill Bill Volume 1 is all blood and no content. There are flashes of good film-making- cinematography, music and editing are all commendable, but simply not enough story and too many plot holes.
I think praise should be given to Uma Thurman, who pitches an excellent balance of emotions and showing that she is killing for a reason, but all the other characters are too sketchy. The director is too besotted with her to put any actual detail to everybody else.
If you are a fan of Tarantino then you should enjoy this film, but i felt that my time was wasted. If you are looking for a good martial arts film, then I recommend Zatochi. 5/10
