"Silly caucasian girl likes to play with samurai swords."

One of my all time favorites and one of the best action movies ever made if you ask me. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 has Pussy Wagon sharp dialogue and comedy, a knife sharp catchy iconic score, butcher knife sharp characters, meteor hammer crushing blood and gore, and Hattori Hanzo sharp epic action sequences.

The music choices, camerawork, editing and captivating visuals create something uniquely stylish. The pacing is flawless and it's very entertaining there's no time to get bored, we even get bits of black & white and beautiful animation to change it up (would have taken a whole movie with that animation style). Love the wide shots over the rooms.

Every single character is a badass in this movie. Uma Thurman is perfect in the role and Lucy Liu makes for a satisfying villain. The story is as simple as it gets: revenge. A criticism would be the non-linear timeline, I don't think it was necessary at all. It's like it's trying to hide the fact that the story's simple by adding a "confusing" timeline.

The third act is one of my favorite third acts ever, it's just perfect, so much action and blood, has me smiling the whole time like a psychopath. The switch from colorful, black & white and black & blue keeps it visually interesting.
