"Kill Bill" should be a multiple Oscar winner (Director, Original Screenplay, Actress, Picture) and it probably won't be. But don't forget, it should.
It is a tribute to the films QT grew up on while working at a video store and dreaming of making movies. Basically, it is about a woman (Uma Thurman in an amazing performance) seeking revenge on the 5 people who tried to kill her on her wedding day (Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, "Bill," Lucy Lui, and Vivica A. Fox). In this movie, she deals with two of them. Her adventures follow Tarantino-time like we saw in "Pulp Fiction."
It is a movie that reminds you what a movie should feel like. In a time where movies cost 9 bucks and you get such crap as "Under the Tuscan Sun," Intolerable Cruelty," and "Maid in Manhattan," this movie comes as a breath of fresh air. The action is awesome. The tributes are good, although since I have not seen many kung-fu, martial arts movies, some are lost on me. Some of the acting is amazing (Lucy Lui is poor, Vivica A. Fox could easily be replaced). The story is great. The cliffhanger is awesome. Why did they attack her? Who is Bill and why is he so powerful?
Considering that this is known as the bloodiest movie ever, there is only one gunshot. One. The rest is all swordplay and knifefighting.
See this IMMEDIATELY! Even if you wind up paying 18 bucks to see this and "Volume II."
10/10, without a doubt the best movie I have seen in the past few years.
