Kill Bill, Volume 1 Review

Overall Rating

Kill Bill, Volume 1 - Kill Bill is a fantastic movie by Quentin Tarantino. The storyline is about a female lady (Uma Thurman) who once worked with many others for a man named Bill. But when they decide to betray her, and she finds herself shot in the head after she is about to marry a man, but is having Bill's baby, she is put into a coma and only wakes up five years later with a veangeance to kill the five who betrayed her; Bill amongst them.

The problem with this movie is it's more of a kid's movie, yet it's R18+, filled with strong, bloody violence, coarse language, one scene of very brief drug use and slight sexual content, so therefore kids can't watch it. I would say they should make a remake of the movie, perhaps a director's cut, so kids can enjoy it as well.

The other problem is the time sequence. The movie starts off five years in the past, and then goes forward five years without warning, and then jumps back four and a half years and comes back up to the present a month before the five years ahead and so on. This complicates things a bit and to understand the movie, even for adults, no matter how bad they'd say the storyline is, they'd have to watch Volume 2, which has more storyline than Volume 1, which is basically just killing and action. This movie would be perfect if they didn't have to split it in half.

All the same, Kill Bill is absolutely fantastic, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone, including children not younger than 13 who can stand the sight of blood and violence.
