Tarantino is one of the great of directors of our time (one of the worst actors, though). I have given reviews on some of his other films previously, but now I have finally seen Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2.
The movies are both greatly shot and written. Tarantino is a very creative writer. He mixes slower scenes with faster paced scenes very well because of his writing. There are many great one-liners and stories that the characters say throughout the film. However, the first one is the best because of the fighting.
The best thing about the first film is the bloody mess that the Bride creates as she searches for Bill. In the second film, we do not get that much fun in the second. The second film is more psychological horror than just a bloody horror. Quentin Tarantino does a very good job using this, but it isn’t nearly as much fun to watch.
The only problems I can really find with this movie are Uma Thurman and a few inconsistencies in the script. We do not hear the Bride’s name throughout the first film. It is bleeped out every time someone says it until the end of the movie. I think they should have kept it a mystery forever and we only know her by the Bride. And just like Pulp Fiction, this is one of Thurman’s best role. Granted, it is not a great performance, but definitely well for her. There are plenty of other actresses that could have plaid her.
Good movies, if you like gory films and don’t mind a f-word or s-word or b-word every other word.
