| Professional Reviews | (01/01/2004, p.45, Film Comment Staff): "A new wrinkle on pastiche -- the first bona fide mainstream mix movie, and long live the director as DJ.", (01/01/2008, p.194, William Thomas): 4 stars out of 5 -- "KILL BILL offers many glimpses of Tarantino's maverick genius...", (09/29/2003, p.56-64, Todd McCarthy): "...A strange, fun and densely textured work that gets better as it goes along...", (10/10/2003, p.1E, Mike Clark): "...Tarantino can glean excitement out of someone walking across a room....And he's funny...", (10/10/2003, p.C1, Manohla Dargis): "...The ultimate film-geek freakout, a compendium of 1960s and 1970s cine-references...", (10/10/2003, p.E1, A. O. Scott): "...There are some strong and diverse flavors, as well as vivid colors in the mix, all of them deftly reflected in the hip-hop artist RZA's clever, eclectic score...", (10/17/2003, p.57-8, Owen Gleiberman): "...It's a tale of vengeance that hinges on Tarantino's love of ferocity as spectacle...", (10/30/2003, p.99, Peter Travers): "...In KILL BILL, Tarantino brings delicious sin back to movies -- the thrill you get from something down, dirty and dangerous...", (11/01/2003, p.88-9, Jamie Graham): "...Quite brilliant....It's all here: the sudden shifts of tone, the flip-flopping time structure, the supercool slo-mo, the exquisite humour, the pitch-perfect performances and, of course, the trademark dialogue...", (12/01/2003, p.40-2, Kim Newman): "...This is a down-and-dirty kung fu picture..." |
