One of the greatest action movies ever made with so much blood and violence. There's even one part that's in anime which is pretty cool but a bit random. This is probably Quentin Tarantino's best movie yet.

This is by far one the greatest action movies ever. If your looking to be told the story of "The Bride" and why she wants to "Kill Bill" then this is the wrong movie...watch Vol. 2, but if you want to watch a movie filled with action then this is it. By far another great achievement by Tarantino.

How can one man bring us Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Reservoir Dogs? Quentin Tarantino has done it again in this two-part samurai epic. With Uma Thurman as the Bride, the story starts with Uma in the hospital, recovering from a gun shot wound to the head. When she wakes from her coma, she vows revenge against the man who put her in the infirmary: Bill. She's prepared to kill anyone and everyone who gets in her way. Volume 1 does an excellent job of setting the stage for innovative samurai/karate flick. The movie has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a movie, and I can still remember the cliffhanger ending making me think that I would die before Kill Bill 2 came out. There are few films this millenia that have been this good.

"Kill Bill" is Quentin Tarantino's best film. It tells the story of an unnamed bride and the people that attempted to kill her on her wedding day. She plans to kill them all in a specific order, ending with the leader -- Bill. The story is presented out of order -- the first half has the bride killing the second and first people on her list. The second film continues her revenge, but it shows many flashbacks to develop the characters and the story.
The small amount of dialog in Vol. 1 is extremely well-written. The first half of the film is action-packed, which is a first for Tarantino.
The violence pushes the boundaries of what can be shown in an R-rated film. When limbs are cut off, blood sprays out at an exaggerated rate. Tarantino uses a clever homage to edited television movies by putting some of the film's finale in black-and-white, which allows him to keep most of the bloody violence in the film -- although about a minute was cut to get an R.
The DVD has a nice widescreen presentation of the film. The special features are brief, but this release is nice to have until the boxset of both films is released. Highly recommended.

This movie was an excellent homage to Bruce Lee, most notably the outfit worn by The Bride matches that of the one worn by Bruce Lee in The Game of Death. The Green Hornet theme song is also reference to Bruce Lee's american television debut. This film is crafted to resemble the excellent martial arts and campy style of hong kong martial art films. Well done, well written, and a classic tale of shakespearian revenge paired with stylized action sequences. Truly a must for any martial art or Tarantino fan.
What's great about it: great homage to old school martial art films

‘Kill Bill’ was a complete waste of my time, and a film I watched only at the behest of a close friend who claimed it was ‘awesome.’ Needless to say, we bitterly disagreed, as we did on the second movie, which was equally as poor. Widescreen, with plenty of bonus features to waste your time.

Unlike the second movie, i loved watching this. It is a very typical QT movie, and includes enough blood, gore, and violence for a while. It is filled with action and martial arts which makes it an enjoyable watch.
