009-1 Vol.1 DVD

Advantages: An excellent rip-roaring conclusion to an excellent first part, Tarantino at his best.Pure genius in celluloid.
Disadvantages: A shame there is not a 3rd part to this movie.

...When Tarantino released Kill Bill Vol 1, it was met with wide acclaim, some positive some not so positive, claiming he had just made a bloodfest and was into shocking people, true the original movie was graphic in parts but I believe it paved the way for Vol2. In Vol 1. we see that the charcter played by Uma Thurman has been wronged (to put it mildly) and is merely exacting her perceived revenge for the loss of her child and nearly her life but we know little of the depths of the charcaters. In Vol 2. we get more in depth information relating to the characters in the movie, and we get the cataclysmic ending that just the movie justice. Vol 1 was the jammy sponge for the film and Vol 2 is most definitely the icing and decorations. In both movies we have excellent acting, scripting and direction (as we have come to expect from...

Advantages: Clever and Action Packed!
Disadvantages: Not for the faint of heart.

...My husband and I are regular film goers and we love Tarantino ... I love the way he is so distorted and gory! Kill Boll Vol 1 was incredibly easy to follow for Tarantino ... although the film does jump about a little the basic story line is very apparent. The affects are amazing ... maybe to life like for the wear stomached amoungst us! Its a big one up for girl power and Uma is simply beautiful and excellent throughout. I thought this would be a butch bloke film but I was wrong ... girls its amazing! I am waiting for Vol2 with anticipation ... my husband and I left the cinema on the edge of our seats and ready for the next one. I will definately be trying to get advanced screening tickets for Vol 2. Happy watching!... Read review

Advantages: Excellent screenplay, high quality acting and brilliant visual effects!
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage is that it has taken too long for Kill Bill VOL.2 to be released. Also concentration must be kept to keep up with the fast paced action.

...Kill Bill VOL.1 is and exciting, high paced, gory killing spree. After recovering from being shot in the head at her own wedding, Black Mamba (Uma Thurman) is intent on revenge and that means killing eveyone in her path who wronged her. Vivid colour and amazing martial arts are used ingeniously in the action packed fighting scenes along with cartoon like deaths. Includes blood baths, limb amputation and good old fashioned rioting, However, this masterpiece also excells in the serious areas too, such as the hospital scene with Black Mamba. A brilliant start to a two part film, with such great charcters and interesting and hillarious storyline, it leaves you asking the question, when will the next one be here?... Read review
