Top Critic
A strange, fun and densely textured work that gets better as it goes along.

Top Critic
Even more gory and adolescent than its models, which explains both the fun and the unpleasantness of this globe-trotting romp.

I didn't leave the cinema aching to see Volume Two (out in February), though I'm interested to learn how things work out.

Kill Bill is a temple of worship -- a devout hymn of praise to crap cinema (which isn't always crappy).
08/04/07
Kill Bill is pretty stupid, but there are also moments of beauty and brilliance.
07/14/07
Unfolding as a book the film is conceived in chapters, each boasting the look and pulse of a specific genre; as expected of Tarantino, there are references to music, literature, fashion, and above all movies and pop culture, both American and foreign.

It's all bang, bang; no kiss, kiss. But this is still bravura film-making from a prodigious talent, and Thurman may yet prove its saving grace.

Top Critic A movie that, without Uma, would have ultimately been a stylistic masterpiece, but never the stirring epic that it is shaping up to be.

Perhaps the funniest thing about Kill Bill: Volume One is the realization that this ode to ultraviolence and Uma Thurman's feet is probably Quentin Tarantino's most personal film.

Volume One is, above all, a parade of fantastic fight scenes, each one bloodier than the one that came before ... bloody in the Looney-Toons/Monty-Python sense.

There is no ironic overlay in Tarantino’s movies, no 'commenting' on the pop schlock he’s replicating. He simply wants to remake in his own way the kinds of movies he’s always loved, and he’s about as uncynical as a movie geek can be.
08/07/04
Kill Bill isn't human. It's cinema as cinema. Tarantino is like a hyper, too-bright child, worrying you for your attention, jumping from thought to thought in his brain
07/07/04
Blood spews from bodies like fountains of Chinese fireworks throughout the movie.
06/22/04
It may be violent but it also has a joy for life and music and movies.
