a fantastic second half that improves on the first

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2014)

I really did like kill bill vol 1, however, I did think it lacked something possibly due to the fact it is a film that mainly sets up the sequel. This film once again sees the bride return of the bride on her killing spree to get to her final showdown with her old master bill. I think the first kill bill was a return to form for uma Thurman and it continued with this film with the character of the bride being expanded on and her performance being more well rounded. The supporting cast is also really good with David carrehane being fantastic as bill and his performance was necessarily great because it made the revenge hunt more interesting. The other characters are great with budd and the one eyed assassin being great characters and adding overall to the plot. As I said in my faster movie review I really like revenge stories and this one was almost flawless with the emphasis on the revenge theme really working but I do think some of the flash backs were too long and also the ending is really anticlimactic. The script is Tarantino genius and it really helps this film's story be driven along nicely. The style is also not as over the top as the first film and all the action is great with the fight scenes being very crisp. I advise you watch the two kill bill films back to back it will make the experience a lot better for this fantastic film.
