Ratings and reviews

Odd film. Having seen other Quentin Tarantino at a later date, I still maintain this is a poor film. If you like mindless gore-filled fights that drag on and on, this is for you. The plot has tantalising moments but I literally fell asleep during some of the disembodiment sequences. Not good. Overall, I would suggest all of his other films as superb pieces of art. Kill Bill, I'm afraid, had me snoozing.

Has burned-in subtitles for the foreign-language bits. It's Kill Bill--fun, gory, brilliant action. Can be extremely dark and discomforting at certain points in the story.

For those who enjoy violent comic book films this is an absolute must see you then have to watch part 2 which brings it altogether really enjoyable!
