25% gold... 75% ****

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2004)

Kill Bill 1 was a masterpiece... A brainless action masterpiece, but a masterpiece none the less... But quite frankly, apart from a half hour segment in the middle where The Bride kills Elle, Kill Bill 2 REEKS... Everyone is saying it gets away from the action and finalises the story with the usual Tarantino wordplay... I WISH.... Lame dialogue that sounds like someone else was trying to copy Mr Tarantinos old style and failing dismally... Silly plot contrivences that just made you cringe... All together a not at all special piece of celluloid... Bill is such a boreing and pompous character that I just wanted her to kill him as soon as he got onscreen and bored us to tears As a film 3 out of 10... Half hour in the middle 10 out of 10 ( which unfortunately shows the rest of it as the dismal pile of crap it is )
