Quentin Tarantino is back - with a vengeance!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2003)

WOW!!!
"Kill Bill: Volume 1" is another film I'm adding to the top of my "Best Films of 2003" list!!
The new story is actually quite simple: Uma Thurman plays an elite killer -- nicknamed Black Mamba and a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DiVAS) -- who has been in a coma for four years. When she awakes, she realizes she was betrayed by the DiVAS, who left her for dead in a pool of blood at her own wedding. The 4 years later she emerges from a coma and swears revenge on her former master and his deadly squad of international assassins.
Supremely demented and grotesquely gorgeous, "Kill Bill -- Vol. 1" is a movie that will separate the true cinema lovers from ... well, just about everyone who has another set of values
Quentin Tarantino has done it again!! After 6 years Mr. Tarantino delievers the film that fans of his films have been waiting to see!
Watching "Kill Bill" you realize that no one combines tension and release, violence and humor, dialogue and action and music and pictures the way he does.
Tarantino pulls out all the stops, not only with his odd assortment of characters, but with the use of split screen, slow motion and every other special effect he can find.
"Kill Bill" is all about the action. Remember how ridiculously lame the big fight scene between Neo and the thousand Agent Smiths in "The Matrix Reloaded" looked? You won't get any of that here. There's no CG, and that makes the fight scenes so much more satisfying.
Uma Thurman gives one hell of a tour de' force perfomance. She is both fragile and delicate then in the next moment she is lets it all go. If the Gods smile upon Uma she could be looking at her 2nd Oscar nod next year!
And Volume 2? I can't wait.
