Kostotarinan ensimmäinen osa, jossa Morsian (Uma Thurman) hakataan ja yritetään tappaa omissa häissään, mutta hän ei kuolekaan vaan vaipuu koomaan neljäksi vuodeksi. Herätessään yllättäen koomasta hänen mielessään on vain julma kosto itsensä ja syntymättömän lapsensa puolesta. Hänet hakannut ryhmä on nimeltään Kyykäärme-tapporyhmä, jonka jäsen hän on itsekin ollut. Hän aikoo ensin etsiä käsiinsä kiinalais-japanilais-amerikkalaisen O-Ren Ishiin (Lucy Liu), josta on tullut Tokion yakuza-klaanien pomojen pomo. Ensin Morsian lentää Okinawalle, jossa asuu samuraimiekkojen mestariseppä, Hattori Hanzo. Tämä lupaa valmistaa hänelle parhaan miekkansa. Kuukauden päästä Morsian lentää Tokioon ja panee toimeen kostonsa ensimmäisen vaiheen... (Nordisk Film Fin.)

A cool rip-off of Shogun Assassin with references to a couple dozen other films. One big stylistic exercise, which in the shadow of the brilliant Volume II completely loses its meaning and unnecessarily takes away from the credit of the whole. ♫ OST song rating: 4/5

Several years after the unbearable hype faded, Kill Bill is still a spectacle that has no equal in the realm of multi-genre action. Despite Quentin Tarantino being somewhat annoying from a media standpoint during this period, his sense of the tempo of revenge, the soundtrack, and the supporting characters were almost perfect. And when Hattori Hanzo appears and I have to swallow all my previous judgements, there is nothing left to do but give it five stars.

Forget about seeing just another Tarantino flick. There’s none of his typical catchphrases, nor a plethora of absurd situations. One of the few echoes of his first two films is the absurd scene in the hospital when "Buck comes to fuck" and then his favourite ordering of the plot into chapters. At times I was emotionally moved, at times I was thinking, "Is he being serious? We're supposed to buy this?" But I didn't move a muscle the whole time I was sitting in my chair. There are scenes with a very magical atmosphere, especially the final duel with in the snowy Japanese garden, with Lucy Liu in a white dress and slippers, falling snowflakes and contrasting with Uma Thurman's yellow suit, all beautifully lit and the interesting sound of a water pump. Or for example the moment when during one of the fights the background suddenly changes to a blue screen with black frames, with only the silhouettes of the fighters in front of it is very impressive. Kill Bill has so many audio-visual sensations that the hour and a half was more than enough. The plot may be shallow (the final sentence made me feel like I was hearing a snippet from a soap opera), but form overwhelmingly wins over content. Tarantino managed to turn a well-trodden genre and not very original premise into a very impressive spectacle. We'll see with Volume 2 if it holds up. PS: This film must be watched in widescreen! It loses a lot with the TV crop.

The positives are clear: it's nice and colorful, it's got a good camera and nice hit music. It also has a "cool" pulp aesthetic. That's what pets like, right? And it's sweet postmodern “shit". A beautiful video clip. Great craft, Quentin is good at that. As well as magnificent boredom and the best filmed vacuum I can imagine. Pulp Fiction may have been silly, but at least it had something inside. Kill Bill is only able to pile up clip sequences and obscure the absolute lack of narrative dynamics with subtitled chapters, nice manga sequences, and a stylish (and utterly self-serving) narrative multi-voice. Dear Quentin, I thought I didn't like you, but Kill Bill brings a whole new intensity to our relationship. And Uma is quite pretty... It's a good thing you and I have something to talk about, man. Bleh!

A purely visual and acoustic fashion-feast with a colorfully variable palette of moods. But rating it on its own would miss the mark. The first half is a bit lifeless, whereas the second half wouldn’t let me catch my breath. The sequel, Volume 2, should theoretically start in the spirit of the second half of the first Kill Bill. If it does start that way, I’m genuinely curious to see what the climax of the whole show will be. If it actually builds up further, as a three-hour whole, it will turn out to be a brilliant work. I believe that will happen. And I’m asking myself a key question: Is it even possible to make such a spectacular and cool film seanse out of such a simple subject?
