Here's what
the DVDTalk.com review had to say about it:
"A spectacular joyride of a half-film, Kill Bill Volume 1 is a definite oddity on DVD. Feeling more incomplete than ever, now that we're so close to the release of its second half, the film kinda seems to just sit there on DVD. Buena Vista's nearly barebones treatment should give you pause. Is this release worth picking up? Barely—at least, when you consider, as mentioned above, the inevitable 3- or 4-disc set. But how will you be able to deny the impulse to purchase this DVD? The movie is that much fun, and imminently rewatchable. Beware, though: The image quality is a bit of a bummer, particularly on large screens."
