Most helpful review Kill Bill - Vol. 1

  • a stylish effort but disgraceful profiteering!

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Kill Bill is an visually impressive film, and clearly displays Tarantino's impeccable taste for influential cinema. The jury is still out on whether Tarantino is adept at ripping off various genres or providing a flawless homage. In any case, let's hope a few of his fans hunt down the source of his inspiration.

    The main flaw of Kill Bill is an unforgivable decision to release the film in two parts. I suspect this is disgraceful profiteering on the part of Miramax.

    What could have been a genuinely accomplished film is flawed but an unexpected and illogical halt in story (to pick up in Kill Bill 2). Whatever you think of Tarantino, his films are never boring. The audience would have sat down for the entire movie and he should have let them. Can you imagine Scorcese releasing Casino Part 1 and Part 2, or Lord of the Rings as six movies? Tarantino should have stuck to his original plan. Then again, now there's twice the box office, twice the DVD sales, twice the album sales etc.

    Sadly, in my humble opinion, this obvious gain has halved Taratino's ability to deliver a masterpiece.

    This is one of Quentin Tarantino's classic films, with cool dialog, great music and most importantly its very violent. Also i thought it was really well laid out, the idea of chapters in a film is very clever.
