5 Stars Blood looks really great in Blu Ray
Not much can be said about this movie classic.
It looks great in Blu Ray. Very vivid on my 52 inch LCD
4 Stars The Bride, Kill Bill, Volume 1 - Amazon
We see after-effects of gunfire at a chapel and the start of a crusade of revenge by the Bride after she awakens from a coma. Her first victim being a pimping nurse attendant. After doing self-physical therapy to regain her walking skills, the Bride begins her revenge.
5 Stars Chop-Suey!!
I bought this Blu-ray version of Kill Bill after I discovered my standard definition version was defective. I’m not a big movie collector, I probably own only about a dozen movies on disc. I’m very happy with this purchase. If you like watching movies to be entertained with almost non-stop action, it does’nt get any better than this. The Blu-ray makes the picture crisp and clean, and the soundtrack is top-notch! This is an ideal disc for showing off your home theater set-up!
5 Stars Kill Bill just couldn’t be better!
This Blu-Ray blew me away. I won’t go into the details of the movie because it’s the best action movie of my generation.
The video and audio quality is amazing! No other way to put it. This is a MUST buy for Blu-Ray fans!
5 Stars Simple but brilliant action movie
The storyline is rather simple - “the Bride” is out for revenge against Bill, a former boss and father of her unborn child, and his followers who turned her wedding into a bloodbath, almost killing her. However, Tarantino’s style and writing along with a superb performance by Uma Thurman elevate this movie to greatness. There is never a dull moment and the viewer cheers for the Bride, despite the fact she’s also an assassin who’s out to kill people. Part of that is due to her reason for revenge, and part is due to Tarantino’s style which actually makes the movie “fun” in a way.
By now I think most people are prepared for the amount of violence in Tarantino’s films. In this movie he takes advantage of the freedom in an anime-type sequence to have even more blood. The violence in “Kill Bill Vol. 1″ is over-the-top to the point where it’s humorous at times.
The performances by all the actors are very good, especially Thurman. While there is plenty of action, there are also a good number of dramatic scenes and it does include some humor. I particularly enjoyed a series of scenes where the Bride was visiting Japan to obtain a special samurai sword which demonstrated a sense of honor. And there was a scene with Lucy Lui’s character - also an assassin - in a board room meeting which was hilarious! Overall, I think it’s a great action movie and is one of Tarantino’s best.
