Just saw this (hubby couldn't wait after reading all the reviews that came out this morning). I absolutely LOVED IT!!! Warning though, when they rated it 18A for Gory Violence they did so for a reason. RFLOL Although some/most of it was actually comical in it's absurdity.... if you are a *cover your eyes during THOSE scenes* type of viewer then don't go... you will pay a lot of money for about 15 minutes of film. :)

Uma Thurman was just.... brilliant. Always thought she was a great actress but this film is definately a case of talent-meets-material. Only bad thing is that now I have to wait until Feb. for Volume 2 {sigh} LOL

Never saw it {ducking head}. I know I am in a minority but I just cannot stand John Travolta. LOL

Kill Bill is about a woman (Thurman) who is left for dead at her wedding after being beaten to a pulp by Bill's group of female assassins and then shot by Bill. <She looks to be about 7/8 months pregnant> Instead of dying, she lays in a coma for 4 years after which she wakes and goes lookin' for revenge. The plan is to hunt down the 4 people who beat her and then *Kill Bill*.

I don't want to spoil the movie, but if you want more information... just out Ebert's review: http://www.suntimes.com/index/ebert.html but be warned that he does give more info about the plot then I just did.

Yep, it definitely was gory. But if you can get past that, is was a good movie. Rissa, don't feel bad, I haven't seen Pulp Fiction either.

Side rant: What parent/adult would bring young children to this movie?!?! There were a few young children in the audience today, maybe around 5-8 years old. I was shocked that the adults who brought them didn't seem to understand the R rating for violence.

I saw Kill Bill yesterday. Although I dislike violent movies, this was different...SO different. While viewing it I kept thinking, "This is the best film I have ever seen. The best written, photographed, colored, imaginative, directed, musically orchestrated, cast, and acted). And yet, I don't think everybody will like it. It's like a "package deal", some parts are preferable to others. I sat there in awe...at the brains that had put this together...it's a new genre for the millilnium... bloody but fun ...entertaining but
upsetting..... Is it possible you can laugh and shutter with repulsion at the same time? Thurman should get an Oscar (or some other) Award.
I particularly loved the gentle snow quietly falling around a death duel... and the accompanying music. A visual and musical Winter Wonderland scene ..except for the action. And the introduction of the Asian track, so very original it should not be revealed, so as not to spoil its impact.

Kalana, it is very much like Pulp Fiction, particularly in the (dis)order of sequence.

(ed. note) Try to be aware of the music, as it enriches each scene, by infusing appropriate, even clever choces) I thought this movie was terrific!

Well, I will be in the minority here. I was dragged to this show by my 18 year old son. I watched about the first 30 mins and left. I didn't care for it at all.

I didn't like the gore and it seemed to be a parody of martial arts films. I'm not always fond of parodies.

My son stayed and watched the film and seemed to enjoy it.

Very interesting -- I haven't see the movie yet, but my friends who have have given me completely opposite reviews. Some absolutely love it and told me I've got to see it on the big screen, and some absolutely hate it and have told me not to waste my money.

I've rarely heard such different views on a movie from people who I know who have common interests.

Interesting.

Saw this today and absolutely loved it... It is extremely bloody (the trivia section on imdb.com says about 450 gallons of fake blood were used), and I mean blood everywhere, even (or maybe especially) in the animated sequence, my friend said she never thought cartoons could bleed that much.

I guess I am a fan of Quentin Tarantutti (I can't help calling him that after Ellen DeGeneres did on her old sitcom, it just has stuck in my head)... I loved Pulp Fiction. This is sort of similar but not really... Pulp Fiction had lots of talkie sequences and long speeches and quotes that my friends and I used with each other for years... Kill Bill doesn't have nearly as much talk, it's more visual, but some of the fight scenes are almost deafeningly loud, I guess the way all action movies in the theatres are anyway.

The music was perfect. Loved Lucy Liu, and Uma Thurman, she is absolutely beautiful. I would love to see it again and can't wait for 2.
