Was there a cooler film in 2003 than Kill Bill? I don't think there was. Kill Bill has all the elements of what a good time at the movies is all about. The way a director stays fresh and interesting is to continue to broaden his/her horizons, not rehash the same thing they've done three times before. Let me point out some of Kill Bill's strong points and then some weak ones in my eyes: While this picture may not have captured the exact "way of the samurai", it did show what revenge is capable of. I would like to remind people that no one waits for the other person to attack anymore, there's no such thing as a fair fight, so honor is right out of the window, and The Bride had all the motivation in the world for what happened to her. So, her fight at the House of Blue Leaves, was justifiably violent and unmerciful. Sword fights aren't tennis matches. They can be permanently fatal. All the actors established a character very well, and how great was the anime sequence? Kill Bill is not trying to be anything, it's trying to remind people of a type of film that has been forgotten. It's a love affair of Tarantino's( just like Uma is to him) and it shows. There are plot holes in the first, such as her sitting in the Pussy Wagon for 13 hours while no police, or medical staff from the hospital check the dead man's car when they see his keys missing. And I would also say the catchy dialouge Tarantino was known for is fading, as it wasn't too strong in this film. But, there are some things I would like to be explained in the 2nd film and I wait in anticipation for them. This is what going to the theaters is all about.
