Kill Bill: Volume 1 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 Kill Bill: Volume 2 "The Bride" (Uma Thurman) gets her satisfaction--and so do we--in Quentin Tarantino's "roaring rampage of revenge," Kill Bill: Volume 2. Where Vol. 1 was a hyper-kinetic tribute to the Asian chop-socky grindhouse flicks that have been thoroughly cross-referenced in Tarantino's film-loving brain, Vol. 2--not a sequel, but Part Two of a breathtakingly cinematic epic--is Tarantino's contemporary martial-arts Western, fueled by iconic images, music, and themes lifted from any source that Tarantino holds dear, from the action-packed cheapies of William Witney (one of several filmmakers Tarantino gratefully honors in the closing credits) to the spaghetti epics of Sergio Leone. Tarantino doesn't copy so much as elevate the genres he loves, and the entirety of Kill Bill is clearly the product of a singular artistic vision, even as it careens from one influence to another. Violence erupts with dynamic impact, but unlike Vol. 1, this slower grand finale revels in Tarantino's trademark dialogue and loopy longueurs, reviving the career of David Carradine (who plays Bill for what he is: a snake charmer), and giving Thurman's Bride an outlet for maternal love and well-earned happiness. Has any actress endured so much for the sake of a unique collaboration? As the credits remind us, "The Bride" was jointly created by "Q&U," and she's become an unforgettable heroine in a pair of delirious movie-movies (Vol. 3 awaits, some 15 years hence) that Tarantino fans will study and love for decades to come. --Jeff Shannon

 Blu-ray or not, it's still not the whole bloody affair. December 31, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The movie I've been waiting for for a considerable length of time now is *not* yet another release of volumes 1 & 2 respectively or in a twin pack, whether they are on Blu-ray or not. No, I, and several others like me, are holding out for "Kill Bill - The Whole Bloody Affair". The full-length, uncut, unedited, unadulterated version as it was originally meant to be seen that we were promised over two years ago. And until the studio executives finally get off their duffs and release it, (DVD or Blu-Ray, I'm not picky), I refuse to give them my hard earned money just so they can double-dip later down the road if and when the superior version finally comes out, and I suggest you hold off too.
 Great flick made better by blu ray December 30, 2008
If you like intense and gory fight scenes, you will love this movie. I am not huge into fighting movies normally, but this one involves rockin' girls kicking some *@$ so I loved it!!!
If you have a blu ray player, it is even better the the original is still good. ENJOY!!!
Fake blood never looked so good. December 22, 2008
Quentin Tarantino has delivered a feast for the masses with a side of water, cornstarch and some red food color. As always they are great movies, but the picture quality stands out amongst other live action films. Double Dipping for these movies was a treat especially at the price.
simply perfect December 18, 2008

offcourse, at this point.. most people have already seen Kill Bill.. if you still haven't.. then stop reading this and go watch it right now.. if you've already seen it.. then you're probably reading this because you want to watch the film in HD. To be honest.. the blu-ray version of kill bill surpassed my expectations.. it's just perfect.. the picture is crystal clear.. no noise grain (which is often irritating in many other blu-ray releases).. it has non uncompressed audio.. and the whole experience of watching this particular release was just perfect. In Kill Bill.. Tarantino was particularly focusing heavily on the color palette in EACH shot of the film.. and watching it in on blu-ray lets the viewer see the film in the exact way the director intended.. also the usage of light and shadow in the film was brilliant.. unlike what you would see in any other film.. which also looks very good in this particular release.. I recommend this to any kill bill fan out there..
fantastic December 12, 2008
