Kill Bill: Vol. 1 Reviews

süper film allahıma savaş sahneleri olsun ses efektleri müzikleri ana karakterin gizemli takılması falan son savaş sahnesi nefesimi kesti özellikle keşke bi hattori hanzom olsa

Quentin Tarantino es considerado un genio en el mundo del cine, yo por el contrario encuentro la mayoría de sus películas como entretenimiento descerebrado. Fuera de Pulp Fiction y Reservoir Dogs, quienes se salvan por ser las que establecieron su estilo, es fácil saber la fórmula que emplea. La obra podrá ser de lo que quieras, pero siempre terminará siendo sobre un cumulo de subtramas unidas por un foco central donde personajes carismáticos, extrovertidos y divertidos se matan los unos a los otros. Añade el fetiche preferido del director y nos queda un montón de referencias a la cultura pop y gore y acción con buena dirección.

Kill Bill no es la excepción, cada elemento en la misma no es más que una referencia a películas schlock japonesas de los setentas, casi pareciendo una parodia. La acción se las apaña para entretenerte con su buen uso de la física y la táctica en combate. Podrás decir lo que sea de Tarantino, pero no que sus escenas carecen de emociones para atraer a la audiencia. Cada coreografía se ve única y tiene su grado de inteligencia como para no aburrirte. Y eso es todo lo que puedo decir de bueno de la película, todo lo demás va entre lo ok a lo malo.

La premisa es una historia de venganza con la ventaja que no es sobre mostrar lo malo que es sino como excusa para enfrentamientos entre los asesinos que masacraron los familiares de la mamba negra. La historia es cruda y llena de gore, cosa que divertirá a los más casuales, yo por mi parte estuve alzando una ceja por cada ocasión que Uma Truman era capaz de sobrevivir a cualquier ataque que se le presentase. Quiero decir, recibió un balazo entre ceja y ceja sin presentar algún problema cerebral fuera de una inmovilidad en sus piernas, de las cuales se las arregla para recuperar sus sentidos con un poco de terapia auto inducida. La historia está plagada de estas conveniencias para que sobreviva como no matarla justo cuando está en coma pese a que saben lo desastroso que es dejarla con vida. Y se supone que estamos hablando de los mejores asesinos de este lado del Mississippi. Muy flojo por parte del director cuando en Pulp Fiction los personajes morían al primer disparo.

Por la obvia estupidez de los villanos la historia empieza, y ok, como mínimo nos dan una motivación para verla vengarse por la muerte de su familia e hija no nacida. Y por lo menos los villanos no son caricaturescos ya que poseen familias y amigos, por muy desgraciados que puedan ser, dándoles una profundidad medianamente aceptable. La obra está estructurada en dos partes, siendo la primera la que tiene los mejores villanos y el mejor ritmo, siempre enseñándote algo a cada instante y colocando cada combate como un clímax espectacular.

La batalla final con la masacre en el bar japonés es por lejos la mejor parte por ser no sólo una referencia directa a las pelis de Bruce Lee, también tiene por borbotones lo que venimos a buscar: gore, acción y badasseria. La pelea final con Lucy Liu tiene su grado de dramatismo y que viera a sus compañeros ser asesinados por una máquina de destrucción masiva como lo puede ser una madre despechada mejora la situación.

Y el final también está padre con una revelación y una alta estima de lo que sucederá en la secuela. Pero como les dije, la historia no es realmente compleja, tiene un ritmo y personajes cautivadores como para mantenerte enganchado a lo que no es más que schlock como de lo que se inspiró. Mínimo puedo darle un rango por encima del promedio por ello.

Bombástica película de acción con una dirección alocada que no intenta tomarse en serio. Es decente.

I remember very well when this movie was released. Indeed, after 6 very long years, Quentin Tarantino was finally coming up with a new directing effort. Not only was he releasing a new story but it was a gigantic epic feature of 4 hours divided into two movies!!! So, the buzz surrounding this flick was quite huge and many fans (like me) were waiting this new movie with more than anxiety. Eventually, it was once again a massive success for QT and it became an instant cult classic. Still, what did I personally think of this movie? Honestly, even though I did enjoy it, I didn't think it was really mind-blowing though. Sure, there were some really cool action scenes, the directing was really amazing and the whole thing was definitely entertaining but I thought that the plot was also terribly generic. With Tarantino's first 3 movies, even though it could be pretty preposterous, the story was always really compelling and I really loved those characters but, this time, I really couldn't care less about The Bride, the other characters and what they were going through. Still, even though it was (at the time of its release) his weakest directing effort, it was still a fun movie and I had a good time watching it but I seriously never understood what was supposedly so great about it.

One of my all time favorite movies by far. I recently bought the Tarantino box set on Blu-Ray so looking forward to seeing this again in that format.

la venganza nunca muere y se admira la resolución para combatir aquello que le dio muerta, y es que la decisión supera la piedad

kill bill is more or less my all time favorite film. it is perfect on so many levels that i dont know where to start. i have seen it tens of times...the casting is beyond epic, the music is spot on, Quentin Tarantino's style is unmatched whether its the photography or the dialogue. this is quite the Intense gory martial arts action classic. the main theme is revenge and it is vividly expressed in every shot and every line of the film which has an over all theatrical feel to it, and this only intensifies the highly stylized approach. the fight sequences are very well choreographed, and the actings is top notch. again, i find the films satisfying and almost perfect on almost every level.

Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2 are now two of the best action films of all time. The first one is the start of thrilling, explosive, impact and extremely excited action films that have generated ideas of creating new action films. It is an action film with a really catchy title name which did catch my biggest attention to Kill Bill. For some reason the first Kill Bill reminded me a bit of Sin City with the kinds of action involved but not in a coloured visual way. When I watched Kill Bill: Volume 1 for the first time, I watched Sin City for the first time straight afterwards. Kill Bill: Volume 1 is the ultimate action film of the 2000s (decade not century) so far. Kill Bill doesn't just take us through the Bride's path of revenge but also through a series of different acts of violence. This film has a twist that I wouldn't call shocking but one that will sort of reveal the outcome of the sequel.


Uma Thurman proves herself to be the only actress who could have been able to portray The Bride. It is an absolutely phenomenal performance that should have earned her an Oscar nomination. I just love the Bride's character because she is a character that you would get totally gripped with all the way through and she is a deeply interesting character. She is a woman who is fighting for revenge and stopping other crimes by that group of people when she is committing crime herself. That doesn't make her a villain at all. She is only deadly to those who betrayed her but when she's not like that; we see the light side of her being rather nice to other people. Uma Thurman is perfect for The Bride and I'm not going to repeat that because it's that simple. Lucy Liu is really awesome as the Bride's main arch rival in this first one after Bill called O-Ren Ishii. I loved the showdown between the two women. It was an ultimate kick-ass action scene and so was the showdown between the Bride and the large group of men known as Crazy 88 in the House Of Blue Leaves which does lead to the showdown between the Bride and O-Ren Ishii. David Carradine is another almost perfect choice for Bill because he is a very fearful character and a bit of a ladies man at the same time which you will find out in Kill Bill: Volume 2. He didn't have as much involvement in the first one as he did the second one because I think that Tarantino wanted us to feel what we would be preparing to see when the Bride meets her match when she fights off against Bill in the sequel.


Quentin Tarantino has created a new kind of film for him because he has usually bene a master of creating crime black-comedies which are Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. Tarantino brings that dark humurous comedy into it but in a more action packed sort of way. He has quite a few long scenes that not only flows with the story but also the chemistry between the characters and that determines fate between the characters. The script is really original. It is without a doubt one of the coolest scripts ever but no other script in the history of cinema will ever beat Pulp Fiction which is also a Quentin Tarantino film. To me, it is a masterpiece from a master of cinema who taught himself to create masterful films with some of the best films of all time.


It was nominated for Best Actress Drama at the Golden Globes (Uma Thurman) but lost to Charlize Theron in Monster. As far as the Oscars are concerned, I personally believe that Kill Bill: Volume 1 should have been a contender for Best Leading Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing and Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and maybe even Best Picture 2003.


Kill Bill: Volume 1 is definitely better than Kill Bill: Volume 2 even though that is still an absolutely fantastic masterpiece as well. The first Kill Bill is my second favourite Quentin Tarantino film after the obvious favourite Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill particularly the first one is the best performance and probably always will be Uma Thurman's performance. Kill Bill is one of my top 5 action films of all time after Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Aliens. It is and will probably be the best action film of the decade and there is no chance in hell nobody can deny that.

....all dressed in white....

Only two words can be used to describe this movie: Bad @ss.
Not only is this Quentin's homage to martial arts flix, but it also includes homage's to anime & those funky, grainy 70's Bruce Lee's wannabe's that made us laugh with their unsynchronized voice-overs, jagged camera movements & b-level musical sound effects. And yet, he was able to combine all this in a manner that was just plain...
well....
... bad-@ss.




You wanna know just how bad-ass Beatrice Kiddo, the Bride really is?
At her wedding, not only does she show up looking like she's late into her trimester of pregnancy, but also at the same time, she has enough balls to wear a wedding dress that is white, the traditional color that is supposed to symbolize virginancy.
So then, the question arises,
how does one stop such an act of blatant aborition towards such an endeared long-standing nuptial tradition?
Try sending her a Bill.

*May Contain Spoilers*

The whole "Kill Bill" series really never appealed to me due to the way the previews looked, and that it wasn't my type of genre I usually watch. It seemed like a film that I for sure would just turn off after the first ten minutes. I guess I never really took a minute to deeply think about how good it could have been if I were to watch it, so I gave it a chance last night. Lets just say I was blown away. From the amazing cinematical experience, great animation, and just truly unique screenplay that I had never witnessed until now, I just couldn't dislike this film nor even look away for a second.

The storyline is flawless. It it is about a woman named "The Bride" (Uma Thurman) who is out for revenge after almost being killed by a group of assassins called "The deadly viper assassins" (I could be a little off on the title) at her wedding. She is having a great life and even has a baby due, but these people just had to make here life hell. She wakes up in a hospital after four years and has flashbacks of who was responsible for the wrong doings of her. She decides to become great in combat and kill everyone involved. She travels to Tokyo looking for a man who is great with swords, and has a bunch in stock, non of which are for killing people because he retired some years back. She pursuades him to make her a sword called "Japanese Steel" which is the best sword to use in combat due to the strength and power over all the others. He says it will take him a month to make, so she waits month, stays at his place, then receives the sword and begins her training. I forgot to mention that the swordsman was actually a teacher of Bill; the main guy she wants killed. She knows that and uses it to her advantage.

After all the training is done, she takes an airplane to another place in Japan. While one the plane she writes a "Fifth Kill List" to remember who is next. She plans to kill an elite asian assassin named O-ren Ishii. The bride pretty much stalks her to her next point of destination and awaits for the perfect moment to strike her enemy. O-ren Ishii is the leader of a group with 88 people, but I forgot the exact name of it. They all go to dance party like event. The bride follows them, hides in the bathroom, then grabs one of Oren Ishii's assistants who I like to refer to as "The cell-phone girl", and cuts her arm completely off. Later on "The cell-phone girl" ends up in a hospital. But let me finish telling you briefly the rest. So The bride is then spotted and is than attacked by all of Ishii's army. She fends them all off rather easily.

The ending scene consists of an epic fight between her and Ishii. They fight in a unique and beautiful looking environment. (Tarantino does great scenery). Thay have a long epic battle scene, and who defeats who, will be discovered by you when you watch it.

Quentin Tarantino combines enough humor, violence, great screenplay, and an amazing cinematical experience to make this one of the best films ever made, and one of my favorites. I cannot wait for His other work.

8.7/10
