Kill Bill is technically brilliant. It is Tarantino's most mature film to date. Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2 is superior to Inglourious Basterds and Pulp Fiction. No, no one can help you understand why its good if you don't like it, and that's perfectly fine. Some people dislike movies that other people like, in fact lots of people dislike movies that ...

It should go without saying that Kill Bill would not be as great of a film without Uma Thurman's committed performance. The actress has no shortage of memorable performances, but her role as The Bride (AKA Beatrix Kiddo) might stand as her greatest role so far. Throughout much of Kill Bill Vol. 1, The Bride is an unstoppable killing machine, hellbe...
The way Kill Bill looks is one thing that immediately jumps out. While Tarantino movies are always stylish and visually pleasing, Kill Billstands out because of the diversity of its locations, its varied use of color, and the creativity/playfulness of its editing. It's a vibrant and aesthetically pleasing film, with just about every scene having so...
As the most action-packed film Tarantino has made so far, the fight scenes in Kill Bill are truly memorable. Most are relegated to the more action-heavy Kill Bill Vol.1, but Vol. 2isn't exactly lacking in the action department when it needs to; it does have the claustrophobic and brutal one-on-one fight inside a trailer home, after all. RELATED: Th...
Plenty of Tarantino movies hover around the 2.5-hour mark, but Kill Bill - when taken as a single film - dwarfs them all. Watching Vol. 1 and 2 back-to-back would take 248 minutes, which makes Kill Billa true epic, in every sense of the word. It lets the Bride's journey feel suitably huge and sprawling, and enables time to be spent on every member ...
Kill Bill is inevitably one story, and watching the second volume without experiencing the first would be a strange and possibly even underwhelming experience. Vol. 1 sets up things that are paid off in the next volume, and the climax ends up satisfyingly concluding both parts. But at the same time, the fact each film feels very different in terms ...
Uma Thurman plays a fantastic protagonist in Kill Bill, and she's matched by an equally captivating David Carradine, who plays the titular antagonist. Bill makes for an unseen yet already menacing presence in Vol. 1, even though the audience only really hears his voice. But Vol. 2is where Carradine gets to shine, and Bill becomes more than a periph...
You can always rely on Quentin Tarantino to assemble a memorable soundtrack for his movies, usually by using pre-existing movie themes or deep-cuts from a range of contemporary and/or older musicians. But Kill Bill'ssoundtrack delivers beyond even Tarantino's usual standard. The range of music genres reflects the diverse range of genres and emotion...
Another staple of Tarantino's filmography is the fact it contains so many film references. These tend to be homages to more obscure movies, with potentially hundreds upon hundreds of references; so many that when blended the way Tarantino does, his films end up feeling unique, rather than derivative or rip-offs of older works. RELATED: Great Movies...
Tarantino's non-linear storytelling in Kill Bill might not be as pronounced as it is in Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, but it's still unmistakably there. In fact, much of Vol. 1is technically a flashback, as the Bride's second victim is the first one the audience sees die. The flashbacks shine to an even greater extent in Vol. 2. They're used to s...
Kill Billinevitably has to end with Bill getting killed. The final showdown is a long and suspenseful one, full of conflicting emotions from both the Bride and Bill, as they both know their reunion has to end in violence, and only one can walk away alive. The long conversations they have almost make it feel like they're procrastinating the inevitab...

Oct 10, 2003 · 93 minutes ‧ R ‧ 2003. Roger Ebert. October 10, 2003. 6 min read. “Kill Bill, Volume 1” shows Quentin Tarantino so effortlessly and brilliantly in command of his technique that he reminds me of a virtuoso violinist racing through “Flight of the Bumble Bee” — or maybe an accordion prodigy setting a speed record for “Lady of Spain
Oct 15, 2023 · The biggest "R" I feel is regret. Regret that I should have seen this movie sooner, but at least I've seen Kill Bill now and can share my thoughts about Quentin Tarantino's epic revenge flick.
A former assassin, known simply as The Bride (Uma Thurman), wakes from a coma four years after her jealous ex-lover Bill (David Carradine) attempts to murder her on her wedding day. Fueled by an ...
