QT pays homage to, well, everything...

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2003)

Another entry to the 'you will either love it or hate it' genre. Personally, I liked this over-the-top film of a former female assassin seeking revenge on those who tried to put her (permanently) away. I've laughed at some of these reviews where people are saying how this is the worst film of all-time, etc. People, please pay attention here. Tarantino intentionally made this film exactly how he wanted to. It's a tribute to virtually every karate, action, drama, adventure film (or tv show) he ever liked. Yes, it does have the feel of a 70's B-movie at times. Yes, it does not exactly flow in a straight-forward fashion (as many of these reviewers would apparently like all of their movies to go). And yes, some of the action/violence is extreme and implausible, BUT THIS IS BECAUSE HE WANTED IT THAT WAY. If you have ever seen any of the films referenced in this one (click on the 'movie connections' link here on the imdb site for "Kill Bill"), then you might have a different way of looking at this movie. I have seen many of these films and totally love what QT did with this one. I can't wait for Vol. 2. For the rest of you, I'm sure "Terminator 4" is just around the corner...
