Ya so this movie is very bloody. It's insanely violent, but a great movie it is. Not really for young ones though. It is completely based on a woman's want for revenge who will stop at nothing to "kill bill" If you want to actually understand the movie, you have to watch part 2

Too much violence for the impressionable.
Yes the movie is violent, but it is presented in such an outrageous way that any mature viewer knows that it is not acceptable behavior.

ok, if you are a fan of Tarintino, then this is your film. if you are looking for family film bull crap, go see something else. this is a hard core action film that has one of the best acton set pieces of the last decade. its a fun over-the-top film that deserves to be seen by anyone who is interested in film.

oh come on. this movie is not mature at all. its very bloody but completly cartoonish and comic which most tweens will probably understand. a very silly movie but the outstanding visually striking cinematography is the main reason to watch this.

Tarantino's Fourth Film
This is the fourth film by Quentin Tarantino. You might automatically assume that the movie has unnecessary violence, harsh language and drug use because its a Quentin film. However Kill Bill is not your average revenge story. The amount of violence makes Kill Bill unique and gives the audience a sense of what old school kung fu movies were like. Its a fun blood bath of vengeance that action movie lovers can enjoy!

This is the most violent film I have ever seen, and this is not for people who dislike violence. However the film is excellent, and I was satisfied at the end. Only for older audiences though!

Perfect for kids 13 and up!
We love the action, but i must say something about the way you rated the sex! she is about to get raped, she is never fully raped, and you don't see any other people rape her. So i suggest you guys bring it down to one!

Bored with the gore
Kill Bill Vol. 1 is definitely not for people under the age of 17. I thought that this movie, or shall I say, half a movie...was way over the top and for the most part did not keep my interest. As the reviews stated, yes, this was a very gory movie with spurting blood and brains, but I didn't feel that it was sexist in any way. If anything, the movie is saying, you better watch your back or else this girl might come back to take you out. Uma Thurman was shown beat up in the opening scene, but she was not attacked solely by men. The movie is about her coming back to seek revenge on the ones who had done this to her. In order to get to some of her enemies she stabbed, sliced, mutilated, amputated, and killed many men and women including her enemies. Part of the movie was animated, which artistically, I thought was well done. A crime leader murders O'Ren Ishii's parents in front of her at the age of eight and there was mention of pedophilia helping her get close to getting revenge on him. There wasn't much shown, but the idea was sickening and extremely disturbing. I feel that for this part of the movie the animation was needed to drive home the fact that this movie is not real. There were so many fight scenes, many which were drawn out, that I got bored after a while, became desensitized to the blood and lost interest in the weak-plotted movie. As a mature viewer, I found most of the vulgar parts of the movie to be comical, and this aspect of the movie to be more offensive than any of the violence. Aside from all the gore, I did get a couple of laughs out of the movie and am still glad I saw it, because the 7 bucks bought me a topic of endless conversation.

Great movie
Great movie -- Tarantino's best work since Pulp Fiction. Not much of a plot but still a great movie.

Wow!
This movie is definately very gorey. Heads get chopped off. That was my only issue with the movie. The raping scene is also very innapropriate. All though you see no nudity. The refrences are extremly graphic. Okay movie! See it and see what you think about it!

Funny and action-packed revenge flick. DEFINITELY not for kids.
Kill Bill is an ultra-violent, gory, bloody and very entertaining revenge flick. Of course it's not for kids, but adult fans of the genre are sure to love it. I did, and I have no doubt recomending it.

I liked this because I like Uma Thurman
She is such a talented actress. This film did have some very strong language in the beginning but after that its just about the violence. I definatley would not reccomend this film to younger kids!

Cinematic Excellence
Quentin Tarantino turned the filmaking world on its head when he released the monumental "Pulp Fiction." Throwing exploitation, spaghetti western, and kung fu action films in his pop culture blender, he comes out with an amazing film and a lot of blood. The violence in this film is very stylistic, sometimes outlandish, and always cool. Critics of this film need to realize that most of this violence is way over the top. Some other questionable scenes, such as the rape of O-Ren Ishii's mother, is off screen. I'm 15 years old, and I totally loved this film. I think it is fine for a 12 year old to see it, but they should be mature enough to realize Tarantino's influences, and the parody like geysers of blood. "Kill Bill" is extremely light on plot, and heavy on storytelling. Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, and Vivica A. Fox exceeded my expectations. All had an undeniable presence on screen, and went all out. Parents, take your kid to this movie if he or she can understand that it's a movie, with bloodiness that shouldn't be taken seriously.

Adults only, but the movie is great.
Great movie, the main character is an honorable fighter, but you forget she is so noble with all the blood and gore. Kill bill is very artistic though, the movie is well shot and briefly funny. Probaly Quentin Taratinos best film, there is a very bloody animated scene, this scene is very graphic even for anime but it is artistic and creative. I thought this movie would have been better if there was less sex and less cursing. But the "bloody-gutty" violence is mixed with creativity. I think this ADULT movie is excellent.
