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
