Movie Reviews of Kill Bill - Volumes 1 & 2 [Blu-ray] (Amazon.com Exclusive)Movie Review: An Awesome Movie Looks Even Better on Blu-ray! Summary: 5 Stars
The movies I currently have on Blu-ray are Iron Man, Kill Bill, The Dark Knight, and Wall-E, and Kill Bill is the second best in video quality on the list, second only to Wall-E.
Kill Bill was my first Blu-ray purchase (which is funny because the first DVD I bought was my favorite movie at the time, The Matrix, and Kill Bill is my new favorite movie), and I am really impressed with it. Aside from the lack of special features, it's just incredible. The video transfer is a lot better than what the DVDs were at an output of 1080p and the audio is crystal clear at uncompressed, lossless PCM 5.1. I doubled over with shock when I saw the opening scene of the Vernita Green chapter because of how wonderfully vibrant the colors are. It really made me feel like I was back in the theater again, even though my TV is only 40". If you love Kill Bill, then this is pretty much a must-own. While I don't think you should dump all your DVDs for Blu-ray discs, you should know that there's an appreciable difference in quality if you have the TV for it and the visual qualities of the movie are Blu-ray worthy (like Kill Bill). I know that not many people think there's a difference, but you'd be amazed how quickly you turn into a videophile when you see a movie like this in Blu-ray.
As for the movie itself: the only Tarantino movie better than Kill Bill is Pulp Fiction, but I prefer Kill Bill because it has such an awesome mix of heartfelt moments, great music, over-the-top action scenes, and memorable dialogue. You have to go into Vol. 1 expecting lots of blood and unnecessary violence and appreciate that it's a homage. Vol. 1 is just a lot of fun and the cinematography is always spot-on. Then Vol. 2 comes around and brings you more of the story you may have thought was missing along with a lot of smart lines and even more interesting characters than the first. The two together are a symphony of what I love about cinema. I know that few people share my love of this movie, but I think that it's a movie worth seeing at least once, if not several times.
