Aussie boy's thoughts
An exciting, fashionable and stupidly violent Tarantino classic that’ll leave you exhilarated for Volume 2. Although it is definitely one of director Quentin Tarantino’s most violent films, the scriptwriting and the vigorously-paced execution is excellent.
From start to finish, the story is fairly entertaining but is notably very well-portrayed. The fight scenes are gripping and Uma Thurman’s performance is also quite fascinating, but Kill Bill is a movie that is honestly gorgeous to observe. The visuals and the music are just classical! The use and the condition of the soundtrack match perfectly with the energetic settings.
Thankfully, it doesn’t drag to the 2 hours and 30 minutes mark, but obviously has its occasional dragging moments whilst building up to the climax. And as the peak arrives, it’s fully exciting and features over-the-top violence. How far does The Bride travel? Find out for yourself, but expect literal fountains and hoses of blood and it might not be for you if you dislike Tarantino’s style. Kill Bill also leaves you genuinely interested and anticipated for the second Volume, which hopefully will bring back the same amount of excitement.
