I am a huge fan of the first. i missed vol.1 in theater (worst mistake of my life) but dl it on my computer and fell in love. I own the dvd and call it my bible. so i was expecting a lot from the second.
and i was overwhelmed by the movie. it was incredible. the first one, though amazing, leaves u in a daze from its kinetic pace. The pace of this one is slower, but it allows for more brutality (bride vs elle) more sympathy and more love for the movie.
David carradine is amazing in this movie. You know he is a ruthless fuck, but you love him anyways. uma once again delvers an incredible performance. she owns the world of onscreen heriones bc she is strong, yet feminine, brutal, but elegant. Uma tops her performance in kill bill vol. 1, which i thought was impossible.
tarantino's direction in this is better as well. Yes there are referneces to his fav styles of movies and whatnot, but it isnt as obvious as in the first one. I love that about the second one. and his script is astounding. i love his words and his superman speech.
other good thinngs: godon lui as pai mei (wut a scene), daryl hannah (never thought she was a good actress until now) and the burial scene(wow... creepy as hell).
please be smart, oscars, and vote for a truely amazing movie and give props to tarrantino and company for creating 2 movies of incredible power andsubstance. (i doubt it will happen though)
