Movie Reviews of Kill Bill - Volume One
Movie Review: One Of The Best Martial Arts Movies Ever Made
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh boy, so there is currently something like 1,200 plus reviews for this movie on Amazon. Is another review necessary, no, not all. But it's on tv right now and I'm watching it again even though I've seen it more times than I can count and even though I actually own the movie (and number II).
Let's keep this short, Kill Bill is a masterwork of choreography, cinematography, pacing, and sound. It is a visual masterpiece. The soundtrack is fantastic, and is something that doesn't seem mentioned when it comes to reviews of this movie. The right song at the right time.
The acting is superb. Bruce Lee would be very proud were he alive today to see Uma Thurman donning the same orange jumpsuit he wore in Game of Death. She is spectacular in the lead role. This movie has Quentin Tartino's style over it, which is to say it pays respect to the movies that influenced him as a kid (grindhouse, 70's kung fu flicks, anime, old Japanese monster movies etc) while still being a thoroughly modern, original, and engrossing action movie. I love it, I can't find a flaw with it.
Check your brain at the door and enjoy the ride. It's an instant classic in the martial arts/action genre and just as Bruce Lee movies are still enjoyed generations after his passing, the Kill Bill movies will have the same effect on future generations. The same praise for Kill Bill I also applies to Kill Bill II, and it's easy to watch both movies back to back, as they are so good and so engrossing five hours will pass before you even know it. As stated in the beginning of the review, I have seen both movies more times than I can count, and I enjoy them just as much with every viewing. There is so much sensory input to take in there is always something new to discover. They never get old.
Summary of Kill Bill - Volume One
The acclaimed fourth film from groundbreaking writer and director Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION, JACKIE BROWN), KILL BILL VOLUME 1 stars Uma Thurman (PULP FICTION), Lucy Liu (CHARLIE'S ANGELS, CHICAGO), and Vivica A. Fox (TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME) in an astonishing, action-packed thriller about brutal betrayal and an epic vendetta! Four years after taking a bullet in the head at her own wedding, The Bride (Thurman) emerges from a coma and decides it's time for payback ... with a vengeance! Having been gunned down by her former boss (David Carradine) and his deadly squad of international assassins, it's a kill-or-be-killed fight she didn't start but is determined to finish! Loaded with explosive action and outrageous humor, it's a must-see motion picture event that has critics everywhere raving!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
