Fans have had overwhelmingly positive things to say about Kill Bill. One movie buff wrote on IMDb: « In ‘Kill Bill’, the revenge plot serves only as a larger story arc, thus allowing Tarantino to play with as many different genres as he likes, and boy – what a mix he dishes out! With complete disregard for the conventions of filmmaking, he paints an expressionistic masterpiece in his own unique style, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Cinema rarely gets this exciting. »
Another said: « This movie is unusual, but it works for me. It kept me intrigued from the beginning with the plot, which is not entirely clear, but that made it more interesting for me. There’s a lot of action in the movie, which I found excellent and enjoyed a lot. It might not be realistic, but it’s a movie, so it doesn’t have to be. »
A third shared: « The music first is breathtaking. The action is mind-boggling. The animation is something magical. I am going to see all of the Kill Bills. Uma Thurman redefines herself and every woman alive. This is Wonder Woman times 10. »
A fourth said, « Like in all his films, Tarantino never fails to merge dark humour with terror. It’s impossible not to smile over the Shaw Bros.’ iconic introduction ploy and the De Palma-esque split screens. »
Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2 were both added to Netflix, so fans can watch the whole story all in one go. According to IMDb, both films are among Tarantino’s top ten films, falling behind entries like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown.
