    Kill Bill is one of the best grind house kung-fu movies that Quentin Tarantino has ever made. Websites, magazines, movie critics everywhere agree that Kill Bill, and its creator, have finally mastered the bloody aspects of the Kung?fu movie experience. The movie really isn?t about the movie at all, it?s more so about the conduct in which it?s presented. It has a strongly motivated vengeance plot and with the theatrical way its presented to you, you get a tall glass of modern kung-fu and a splash of ninja; another glistening film of brilliance by Quentin.
    Overall, Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2 were very well thought out and magnificently put together films. Now, after seeing the movie, I respect Quentin Tarantino as a director because this film is action packed and it kept my attention for the full two hour and eight minutes.
