Kill Bill: Vol.2 (2004) - Kill Bill Vol.1 + Kill Bill Vol.2 = A 4-Hour Long Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2012)

Released several months apart from the first installment of the Kill Bill series, "Kill Bill: Vol.2" is the continuation of the avenging adventures of Uma Thurman's "the Bride", still seeking revenge on David Carradine's Bill, and his gang. Since the first movie focused more on tributes to martial arts and Hong Kong motion pictures, the second movie focuses more on long scenes of dialouge between characters, and it's known for it's stylish directing from Quentin Tarantino. Thurman once again delivers another fine performance, reprising her role as "the Bride" from Vol.1. In Vol.2, she's more focused on trying to get out of sticky situations, to make sure that her enemies get what they deserve. Although Vol.1 was more enjoyable, Vol.2 helps bring everything to a close, with an ending that's better to be left unspoiled. But, there were some scenes that dragged off from it's place, and there were some times where I got uninterested. But overall, this is an expertly made homage that only Tarantino can make. In his short scenes, the late great David Carradine delivers a beautiful performance as Bill. You see him as a nice man on the outside, at first, but you can easily tell that he's a monster on the inside. It's a real damn shame that David Carradine passed away, years after the first two movies were released. These movies really showed what a superstar he really was. Although the first volume of the story was my favorite of the two movies, Volume 2 doesn't disappoint. This is a well-made, and somewhat enjoyable that deserves all the praise necessary. Beautifully directed, acted, written, shot, edited, and paced. "Kill Bill: Vol.2", in my review, "expertly portrayed, a thrilling Tarantino feature".
