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
