Kill Bill, Volume 1 is Quentin Tarantino's amazing fourth film and the first chapter of a tantalizing homage to 1970s action and blaxploitation.

Really, it seemed to me that Tarantino was merely trying to shock people into forgetting the idiocracy of what was happening on screen.

Divided we fall. What Kill Bill Vol. 1 loses in plot, tension, and character development it (almost) makes up for in terms of sheer unadulterated style.

Quentin Tarantino, Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu take us to the edge of taste, over the cliffs of gore, and right into pop culture sublime.

An impressive exercise in style but little more.

If you can't stand violence in movies, please don't even read this review.

As wacky action-adventure movies go, this is a good film. But it’s the type of work that more than a dozen Hollywood filmmakers could have turned out in less time than it took [director Quentin] Tarantino.

There is more cinematic thrill per minute up on the screen here than I've seen in a very long time.

Is "Kill Bill" obscene? Or is it samurai cinema's "Ulysses"?

Top CriticTarantino throws every trick he knows at the screen, including an animated sequence, in an effort to make a pure B-movie. He's succeeded.
10/23/03
A psychotically enjoyable murderous massacre of epic proportions.
10/23/03
One of the great gorefests of cinematic history.
10/22/03
Takes Tarantino's trademark brand of excessive violence in an over-the-top direction that mimics the fun but cheesy kung fu revenge films of yesteryear.
10/21/03
It is the distilled essence of everything that kicks a** about the extravagantly violent genres of Kung fu, Samurai, and Anime
10/20/03
An indulgent, outlandish, and thoroughly entertaining ballet of blood.
10/19/03
Hell hath no fury like a Tarantino heroine scorned.
10/19/03
Quentin Tarantino's most wild-*** effort yet.
10/17/03
After nearly two hours of bloodshed (no matter how artfully presented), Tarantino owes us a little more than a "to be continued . . ." tease.
