Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2 (2003 & 2004)
7/10
Starring
Uma Thurman
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
When it comes to a classic of the
2000s, Kill Bill was one of those. It stood out for its impressive fighting
choreography, excellent cinematography, an on the edge script and a master in
the directing chair.
The 2000s were not complete for
us then until you saw The Bride or Black Mamba take revenge on her team who
tried to kill her and her baby.
With Quentin Tarantino on the
reins for writing and directing this four-hour long movie, which was then divided
into two, Volume 1 and Volume 2 and released a year after each other.
The cast members were just
impressive, the fights, the gore and the memorable lines will leave you
captivated. Crafted more like an anime with enough enthusiasm to make you wish
the movie had a volume 3. Kill Bill went ahead to be a cult classic with many
praises due and given to the lead, Uma Thurman.
It was well received by critics
and fans alike and a box-office success.
The movie plot was very direct
and focus on revenge, as this action film starts with the introduction of The
Bride or her code name Black Mamba. We see our lead beaten to a pulp and laid
for dead with a pregnant belly. Her face was badly bruised, then shot her in
the head and left for dead.
Things didn’t end well for her,
as she survived it and was in a coma for four years.
She recovered from her coma to
kill her abusers in the hospital and head off to Japan to get a new weapon for
her revenge plot.
After acquiring the weapon, she
decided to go after the easiest to find member of her crew. The leader of the
Yakuza. She then got enough info from that one direction to help her go after
the others.
The main directive for this
revenge plot was to kill Bill, the leader of their gang who also shot her in
the head.
There is little to nothing more I
can say without taking the sting out of the movie, but you must see this movie
again if you have seen it already just to be excited again.
If you haven’t been blessed with
the knowledge of this movie’s existence, all your friends who were old enough
to have enjoyed this movie owe you an apology.
Everything from the settings down
to the combat is one you will enjoy, lucky enough you do not have to wait for a
whole year like us to see how things turned out in the end. You can now queue
up both Volume 1 and 2, to enjoy one of Quentin Tarantino’s best movies.
