Don't listen to the pretentious critics, this is a gem.

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2004)

I am amazed that the overall tone of comments for this movie is so negative. I am far from being a teenage fanboy, and I thought this was one of the most imaginative pieces of filmmaking that I have seen in the last five years. Far better than Volume 1, and with a different tone altogether.
I keep wondering if this movie would have worked if there had been a guy playing the part of the bride character. It would not, and would have merely been a generic revenge flick. Uma Thurman, an actress whom I am normally very fond of, just grabs the role and makes it uniquely hers, just like Clint Eastwood did for the Man With No Name role. Tarantino is obviously a fan of that trilogy and Morricone's music is on display in Volume II.
The movie is gone from theatres now. If you have not seen it, rent it when it comes on video and enjoy it.
Magnus.
