Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2

I am a huge Tarantino fan and this movie doesn't disappoint. I own the dvd and Blu-Ray versions of this movie and I think it's safe to say that the Blu-Ray is a must have if you're fortunate enough to have the choice. This movie has Tarantino's typical over-the-top action, gore, dialogue, and story that no other director could accomplish like he did. Uma Therman's acting is on par with her role in Pulp Fiction, which is also directed by Quintin Tarantino. Buy this movie!

Kill Bill vol 1 & 2

I loved these films when they were shown on the big screen but was disappointed by the DVD release. However, the Blu-Ray version restored my delight with these films. The transfer is excellent and sometimes startling in their clarity and impact. Highly recommended.

Love The High Def Despite Issues

Though there are somethings that could have made this better, such as more extras in HD, it simply does not take away from what this is - two great movies that look steller.

These are also worthwhile having in your collection, because (for me) Tartino's movies usually become better when watching a second or third time. Pulp Fiction was one like that for me - I thought it was okay when I initially saw it, but subsequent viewings made me apprciate it more. The same thing occurred with the Kill Bill movies for me. I preferred 2 more than 1 when I initially had seen them, but then began to enjoy 1 more than I had before.

Hopefully there will be future versions with some of the missing things or things I would like to see, but until then I am very happy with this.

2 great movies for the price of 1

If you are a fan of Quentin Tarantino this is a must own. I waited to purchase these films until the much anticipated Whole Bloody Affair was to come out. I realized that I might be waiting for something that will never arrive. Plus, Disney has always handled the Blu-Ray conversion extremely well, and this is absolutely no exception. The color is bright and sharp and the sound is fantastic. If you truly are waiting for the Whole Bloody Affair, good for you. If you are thinking you can't wait, this will hold you over nicely.

Not a Great Release, by Blu Standards

I want to make it VERY clear, the three stars are not for the movies. Kill Bill, in my view, is one of the best movies ever made but this evaluation is for THIS Kill Bill 1 & 2 bundle on Blu-ray.

I am totally sold on Blu and, when the Kill Bill bundle became available... well... I ordered it when Amazon offered it at a great discount. I wish I had a lot to say about the Blu-ray version but I don't so, let me say what is worth saying:

- The 'bundle' is really the Vol. 1 and the Vol. 2 boxes. They are 2 separate boxes and the only thing that makes them a 'bundle' is their being sold together.
- The contents of the Blu-ray version are EXACTLY those of the DVD edition, nothing more, nothing less.
- Even the artwork is borrowed from the original DVD edition.
- The 'extras' are shot in low resolution, in fact they are the exact extras you will find on the DVD.
- The resolution of the movie is, of course, higher than the DVD's and the audio is available as 'uncompressed' but nothing special was done for the Blu issue. I noticed quite a few artifacts and some graininess but, overall, the picture quality is good. It could have been a lot better. I expect a remastered edition in the near future.

Overall, I am not very happy with this edition which appears to have been put together on the cheap and in a hurry. I suspect that the digital master used to make the DVDs was quickly converted to Blu and thrown out on the market but I could be wrong.

I am looking forward to a complete and professionally done Tarantino filmography on Blu in the near future, meaning that I'd be buying the Kill Bills three times.

On deciding whether to buy this release or not it should be up to one's budget. Those who don't have the DVD edition but have a Blu player, definitely buy the Blu, preferably this bundle because one never knows when a superior version may be released. If you already have the DVD... like I said, I bought my KB 1&2 package when Amazon offered it at a very significant discount.
