Review of Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) by Josh M — 01 Jul 2015
KB1 has 100x more action than KB2. This film really set the tone of the soon-to-be trilogy and is in my opinion, the most stylistic so far. The action sequences are fast, brutal, and executed beautifully. The highlights are the black and white fight between the Bride and the Crazy 88's and the animated sequence for the backstory for O-Ren Ishii.
KB1 is a great film that is obviously one-half of a whole story, yet Tarantino did a great job of creating a film with a story strong enough to hold its own; it leads perfectly into KB2. The movie didn't leave you with a Matrix 2 or Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows: Pt 1 why-the-hell-did-they-end-it-like-this-noooooooo feeling. It was very tastefully done.
Tarantino is my (and probably millions of others) favorite director and as such, love everything he does. That being said and fan-boy charisma aside, strongly recommend this movie. It's stylistic and full of action (like of of QT's work) and is unlike any other movie out there.
