If you ask me to rate this film on a scale of one to 10, my head will explode. Using such a system on any other film is problematic; using it on "Kill Bill: Volume One" (Miramax) is hopelessly absurd.

Let it be said that no number, letter grade or set of fat chubby thumbs will do this film justice.
