Product Description:
Four years after surviving a bullet in the head the bride emerges from a coma & swears revenge on her former master & his deadly squad of international assassins.Studio: Buena Vista Home VideoRelease Date: 03/28/2008Starring: Uma Thurman Vivica A FoxRun time: 111 minutesRating: R
Amazon.com:
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Vol. 1 is trash for connoisseurs. From his opening gambit (including a "Shaw-Scope" logo and gaudy '70s-vintage "Our Feature Presentation" title card) to his cliffhanger finale (a teasing lead-in to 2004's Vol. 2), Tarantino pays loving tribute to grindhouse cinema, specifically the Hong Kong action flicks and spaghetti Westerns that fill his fervent brain--and this frequently breathtaking movie--with enough cinematic references and cleverly pilfered soundtrack cues to send cinephiles running for their reference books. Everything old is new again in Tarantino's humor-laced vision: he steals from the best while injecting his own oft-copied, never-duplicated style into what is, quite simply, a revenge flick, beginning with the near-murder of the Bride (Uma Thurman), pregnant on her wedding day and left for dead by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (or DiVAS)--including Lucy Liu and the unseen David Carradine (as Bill)--who become targets for the Bride's lethal vengeance. Culminating in an ultraviolent, ultra-stylized tour-de-force showdown, Tarantino's fourth film is either brilliantly (and brutally) innovative or one of the most blatant acts of plagiarism ever conceived. Either way, it's hyperkinetic eye-candy from a passionate film-lover who clearly knows what he's doing. --Jeff Shannon

- One Of The Best Martial Arts Movies Ever Made
Oh boy, so there is currently something like 1,200 plus reviews for this movie on Amazon. Is another review necessary, no, not all. But it's on tv right now and I'm watching it again even though I've seen it more times than I can count and even though I actually own the movie (and number II).
Let's keep this short, Kill Bill is a masterwork of choreography, cinematography, pacing, and sound. It is a visual masterpiece. The soundtrack is fantastic, and is something that doesn't seem mentioned ... Read More

Snoozy.
Like watching Kabuki theatre, or Noh...it is that dull, and unless you have the same visual and cinematic archeology, you never "get" it. I feel like Homer Simpson watching Twin Peaks. Not only do "[y]ou never forget that Kill Bill is an exercise in genre-sampling," you get beaten over the head with and told you are a dummy because you don't know what the film is referring to.
The story follows a woman who goes on a rampage of revenge. Smarfart cineophiles get their eyeballs ... Read More

- Taratino as always over-did it. OVERKILL.
Once again another "Good Movie" According to Taratino, The movie is over kill, and the very ugly uma thurman, movie really is overkill in the action sequences, in the violence, in the acting, pretty bad movie. I hate "catchy" hip flicks.
Rating: - 5 stars collection
One thing about Quentin Tatantino is, either you like him or you don't.
KILL BILL VOL.1 is a fantastic storyline to me, I don't quite enjoy KILL BILL VOL.2. A lot of killing, chopping, blood and XXXX words, this is definitely not for under age.
For me, I love this movie.
Pure entertainment, great acting, great martial arts action, great graphic, and great music.
Rating: - The only things remarkable about this film are the music and the blood and gore
Kill Bill Volume 1 is nothing more than a simple, sadistic revenge story. The only reason I can figure people like it so much is because of style, not drama or it's style of story-telling. The action scenes are well-done to be sure, but just ridiculous and not in a good way. I would expect this kind of Blood and Gore in a Monty Python sketch. In this movie however, the blood and gore is just... insane. There's no reason for it, and it makes Uma's character very inconsistent in her behavior. I mean she cuts off ... Read More
