since I really cant wait for Kill Bill...i gathered a few quotes about those who were lucky enough to catch a early showing of Kill Bill Volume 1....
"The Most Amazing Experience You'll ever have in a movie theater"- Joe WIlliams, St Louis Dispatch
------------------------------------------------------------
"Absolute Dynamite! Unlike any movie you'll see this year! Quentin Tarantino is a true original"- Leonard Martin, Hot Ticket
------------------------------------------------------------
"4 Stars" Mike Cidoni, ABC-TV
------------------------------------------------------------
"A firecracker of a Film! Its mesmerizing raw energy jumps off the screen"- Jeff Craig, :60 Preview
------------------------------------------------------------
"Quentin is a bloody genius"- Roeper
------------------------------------------------------------
"Kill Bill is an example of pure action filmmaking"- Ebert
------------------------------------------------------------
"It was wise to split the movie in half because after a 100 minutes of that stylized action gore, we need a moment to catch our breath"- Roeper
------------------------------------------------------------
and now the Kevin Smith Review
Kill Bill is fucking FANTASTIC
Went to the premiere last night, totally clean: never read the script, stayed away from reviews, listened to no spoilers.
My God, I love that movie. It is, without a doubt, the best flick I've seen all year - maybe the best flick I've seen in five years. It made me so insanely happy. When the credits rolled, I felt proud in a weird way, just because I make movies at the same company Quentin does.
It was the perfect marriage of "movie" and "film": extremely entertaining, engrossing and satisfying, and also moving, inspiring and heart-wrenching. It's a masterpiece. It's "Pulp" good. Shit, it's better than "Pulp" good.
From the opening quote on the screen (cheekily credited to the least expected source), to the closing line (the best piece of cliff-hanging dialogue since "Empire Strikes Back"), "Kill Bill" delivers in ways few movies ever do.
The whole cast is wonderful (with Uma Thurman and Lucy Lieu being the stand-outs). "The House of Blue Leaves" segment is brilliant. The anime' sequence is so great, it may finally introduce manga/anime into the mainstream. It's shot beautifully. The music choices are flawless. The sound is rich and daring. It's just flat-out phenomenal.
I've always loved the guy's work, but this flick is proof positive that Quentin's a mad genius. I'm gushing like a fan-boy, I know; but I can't help myself. It's the kinda flick that makes me remember why I got into filmmaking in the first place. I'm going to see it a few times in theaters when it's released - something I haven't done in ages.
I wish everyone here had seen it already so we can post back and forth about it.
Shit, it was great. Great, great, great. God bless Quentin and Miramax for making this flick.

I'm already sick of seeing the trailer at every movie I see (apart from digging the tune... ba-ba-baah!)
Will have to see it of course... when's it out in the UK?
-
It's being called the most violent movie EVER!!!!
I'll admit I had my doubt's when I first saw the trailer but afterthinkin' about it...lol
what the FUCK it's a Tarantino movie.
It has to be off the chain's...
If it's anything half of what "Resovior dogs" is...
If it's anything half of what "Pulp fiction" is...
Even tho "Jackie Brown" is half of both of those other's...
If "Kill Bill" is half of Jackie Brown...
Q did it again, another hitt. 8)
I'm in line already...

I've liked all of his movies. I really liked 4 rooms, too, but people don't consider that his.

Yeah, and I liked it, but people never mention this movie as his, I guess since it had the other 3 rooms.

yo, i saw this movie today and its pretty fuckin sick (in a good way). While you watch it you wonder what the fuck you are watching but at the same time you love it(if that made any sense). Its seriously one of the most unique movies you will ever see(except for the plot). it really is an awesome movie and i cant wait for the second part. peace.
-
Best movie I seen this year and last year. The Yakuza part was nuts.
-
Great Great film.
-
Can't wait to see this, Tarantino is a legend. Even True Romance which he wrote but didn't direct/produce was a really dope film, he's just the man.
-
Good movie, saw it today, but It's not the most violent ever, and I don't know if it's the greatest movie I've seen this year, I still think Pirates of the Carribean might have been the best I've seen this year. I dunno, this one might grow on me alot when Vol. 2 comes out.
