Atom - 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.

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
