Volume 2 was everything Volume 1 should have been but wasn't.
In particular, here we see character development, and we find out (at last!) why we should care about The Bride.
Tarantino told this story bass-ackwards. I understand his stylistic choice to do so, but had there been the expository character development at the start of the story which appears here, I would have cared more for the character through the events of what became Volume 1.
Thurman and Carradine are excellent, and the domestic stand-off at the end, after the almost apocalyptic shenanigans of the first film, is a fine, fine conclusion to The Bride's story.
