Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
My Favorite Movie Ever!
Honestly, it's one of the best movies of the decate. I loved it since the first time l saw it and propably l have seen it over 15 times in my life, lol. For me, it's the best Tarantino work and l find it a million times better than overrated Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (which l find them good, but overrated).
It's an awesome artistic work with many cringe moments and interesting plot.
Moreover, music is brilliant and Uma Thurman is truly superb as The Bride. I can honestly say that this is her best role out of her career. Also, really superb in her role is Lucy Liu as The Bride's opponent, O-Ren Ishii. Again, also her best role yet. Daryl Hannah also gives an impressive performance, even if she only appears in one scene. Additionally, the final moments of the film and the build up are quite remarkable. Tarantino utilises his devices including typical Japanese slashers and even spaghetti westerns to culminate in a massively colourful fight scene, but the final confrontation between The Bride and O-Ren Ishii is a beautifully crafted scene and a true powerhouse in filmmaking. Unusual, over-the-top but strangely intriguing, entertaining and overall brilliant.
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
It's Good, But Not Better Than The First
It's fine but it could have been better. The first one was entertaining, artistic, action-packed, impressive, archetype... it was something special! Also, Uma Thurman's performance was better in Vol. 1 (she won a Saturn Award and an Empire Award for her performance in this movie and it was the first time she won so many awards and nominations).
Vol. 2 is quite decent but honestly, too much dialogue ruined it. Also, music could have been better. Performances are good, especially David Carradine, who steals the show this time and Daryl Hannah (they both won a Saturn Award for their work in Kill Bill Vol. 2). However, it has more depth and backstory but then again it was too slow-paced.
Quentin Tarantino did an amazing job in Kill Bill Vol. 1 (he proved to the viewers that he was not only a good screenwriter, but also an awesome filmmaker) but Vol. 2 was a bit mediocre comparing to the first one. It lacks on action and badassity, Uma's performance was mediocre, music was mediocre and too much unecessary dialogue lowed it. I love the movie, that's why I gave it to it a 9, but objectively l think it lacks on many things.
