Uma Thurman Movie:

Editorial Review:
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Vol. 1 is trash for connoisseurs. From his opening gambit (including a "Shaw-Scope" logo and gaudy '70s-vintage "Our Feature Presentation" title card) to his cliffhanger finale (a teasing lead-in to 2004's Vol. 2), Tarantino pays loving tribute to grindhouse cinema, specifically the Hong Kong action flicks and spaghetti Westerns that fill his fervent brain--and this frequently breathtaking movie--with enough cinematic references and cleverly pilfered soundtrack cues to send cinephiles running for their reference books. Everything old is new again in Tarantino's humor-laced vision: he steals from the best while injecting his own oft-copied, never-duplicated style into what is, quite simply, a revenge flick, beginning with the near-murder of the Bride (Uma Thurman), pregnant on her wedding day and left for dead by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (or DiVAS)--including Lucy Liu and the unseen David Carradine (as Bill)--who become targets for the Bride's lethal vengeance. Culminating in an ultraviolent, ultra-stylized tour-de-force showdown, Tarantino's fourth film is either brilliantly (and brutally) innovative or one of the most blatant acts of plagiarism ever conceived. Either way, it's hyperkinetic eye-candy from a passionate film-lover who clearly knows what he's doing. --Jeff Shannon

Awesome Movie
2009-11-04 - Tarantino really outdoes himself with this one. All-star cast, interesting dialogue, intense fight scenes, incredible musical arrangements... you will not get bored with this gem of a movie. Uma Thurman really kicks ass, both literally and figuratively!

Tarantino really fumbles with this film.
2009-10-01 - I'm happy to be one of the few who didn't care for this movie. Every few seconds a limb is sliced and BLOOD sprays everywhere. I don't care to watch that. People with swords flying through the air? One swordsman (woman) defeats an army of 30 trained swordsman in less than a minute? Characters are shallow and have no grounding to reality. I can keep going, but It'll just bore ya... I guess my taste in movies has improved since the days of Pulp Fiction. I'll still take Jackie Brown over Kill Bill anytime.

Don't mess with the Bride!
2009-08-30 - WOW!! That's all I can say when I first saw this film by Quentin Tarantino. Uma Thurman is superb as the left-for-dead bride who comes back four years after being left in a coma to wreck vengeance on the cowards who tried to do her in. David Carradine plays Bill, the clandestine leader of the Vipers, who seems to direct everyone's motives from the shadows. This is definately Tarantino at his best and I highly recommend it. It's not a film franchise for everyone; if anyone saw the interview he had with KRON's Jan Wahl a few years ago it just goes to prove that Tarantino makes films that he wants for his fans, not for those who love musical theater (not that there's anything wrong with that genre either).
