Kill Bill Vol. 1 (DVD) Reviews

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill is one of his finest works - it's not as refined as, say, Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, and it is ultimately a work that just puts slices of pop culture and cult cinema into a blender and then recreates them, but it is a thoroughly entertaining ...  Read the complete review

This came out while I was in my first year at University, and I remember it well, because everyone was talking about it. Whether it was the massive death count (about 95 - fictional deaths of course) that the film was meant to have, the gore, the use of Japanese Samurai swords or the fact this was a Quentin Tarantino film, expected to be violent ...  Read the complete review

Kill bill is a film based on a marriage, in which the bride, groom, vicar, everyone, was killed by a assassination squad. Well... thats at least what they thought. Somehow the bride survived, and she herself used to be a member of this assassination squad. The "head" of the team is bill, and that is where the name Kill Bill comes ...  Read the complete review

First things first. I am not fan of Quentin Tarantino, nor do I think that Pulp Fiction is greatest film in cinematic history. I personally find Tarantino to be a rather unimaginative, at best bland, director who utilises and rehashes ancient cinematic techniques under the impression of startling originality. So when Quentin released Kill Bill, ...  Read the complete review

Kill Bill is a film that had a huge cult style following and is part of a 2 volume set. After recording it on Sky+ i thought i would sit and watch half hour then pick it up another time, i ended up staying up to watch it all as it hooked me with the completely abstract videography and style of directing. Quentin Tarentino is the guy behind this ...  Read the complete review

The first of the Kill Bill films sets the scene for what is a blood thirsty stylish set of films that are all about revenge set against a martial arts back ground and directed by the excellent Quentin Tarantino. Personally I think that the second film is the better of the two as the dialogue is a lot more Tarantino in style. Uma Thurman ...  Read the complete review

The films are both based on one womens bid for revenge. Both of the films have five chapters each which split up the story. Story line: The film starts with a ...  Read the complete review

Quentin Tarantino goes high budget in this fantastic excuse for gratituous violence. Superbly shot and stylised, and as if it came straight out of a comic, this film is a huge success and I can see why. In the vein of most Quentin Tarantino films, this is ultra violent and the humour is sick. although he claims that the film is not an ...  Read the complete review

I remember seeing a trailer for Kill Bill when it was still just one film. I've always been a fan of Quentin Tarantino and of Japanese culture in general so I was quite looking forward to this. When I found out it was going to be split into two I was kinda annoyed but pleased that the experience would last longer than I thought. The ...  Read the complete review
