Having Vivica in the movie seemed to me so it would be like the original script of Game Of Death where Bruce Lee had to face 5 different martial artists. I'm sure there is lots of other movies where 5 is the magic number.

Vivivan for me, done nothing, infact I wish they would of left her out. Every other word was "bitch" and the the dialouge was almost to much on the comedy side.
The rest of it was top-notch, I loved the anime sequence.

As much as my expectations were insanely unrealistic for this...
it was better.
A lot of the advance reviews talked about the weightless, overly popcorn-y nature of it. I wonder if they saw the same movie. The scene where Uma woke up was gutwrenchingly sad. Even if this takes place in a "movie" world, it's a world where people hurt and ache and feel. The whole "It's a mindless thrill ride" argument strikes me as a bullshit way to feel superior to the whole thing - the movie is as resonant and thrilling as anything QT has ever made, and if Vol. 2 is as good, it should easily find a way into my all-time top 10.

I think the point of the Vivica Fox sequence was to quickly establish that Uma's character was a hard-fighting badass who is on the revenge quest from hell, and that she was going to show no mercy to her victims. Walking out and leaving the little girl standing over her mother's dead body was pretty cold. That's all we needed to know about the plot and the Vivica Fox sequence establishes it all fairly succinctly.

KILL BILL vol 1 is now my favorite movie of all time.
Seeing stuff like this is why I love going to the movies and why i'm going to film school next year.
I LOVED IT WITH A PASSION.
my only minor quibble was the black and white. the blood really did look like water, and it took me out of the picture. i wanted to see the red blood dammit!
I usually love black and white, but it just didn't work here.
Uma should get an oscar nod. I couldn't belive how great she fit this role.
I think i'm seeing it again tonight.

Im all for lots of blood in a flick... but it was more than a little dumb how sophie gets her arm lopped off at the shoulder... rolls around on the ground for ATLEAST 20 minutes... takes a car ride... gets rolled down a hill... and at some point after that she gets medical attention. Its safe to say that she would have bled out in just a few minutes. I know this stuffs supposed to be over the top, and characters suck up way more damage than people in real life, but come ON... show the chick cauterizing her own wound with a lighter or SOMETHING.

Awesome movie, but did anyone get distracted from all the " T" that were random inserted? Usually, in a movie, studios do that once .This movie had about 6 or 7 .

MOST ENTERTAINING MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN! I've already seen it twice and i think i'm gonna go again today! The first showing, 3 guys walked out after the O-ren in council scene. I cannot believe this movie. I was getting a little worried it could not possibly meet my expectations because of how much i had built it up , but whoa baby it did! This movie and uma kicked my ass and has one of the best if not the best fight scene i've ever seen! And the way it is written has tarantino written all over it which is a great thing!

The studios have KILLED the theatrical experience. We all know multiplexes suck, but now you can avoid them by paying extra at a "premium theater" like Arclight Hollywood. Problem is, even with their spectacular new projectors and state of the art sound, the print is DESTROYED. Ruined in advance by the studio. So even if you pay for a premium presentation you get a damaged print.

Hey, what if
I've seen it twice already and it just keeps getting better and better. Best movie-going experience I've had in years.
Oh BTW, I hope that the stateside exposure of Chiaki Kuriyama (GoGo) creates the Region 1 debut of Battle Royale!
