a shell of the first movie

Rating: 6/10 (28 April 2004)

I was very disappointed in the sequel to kill bill. I thought the first movie was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. However the 2nd was just an average movie. If I didn't know any better, I would bet that the 2nd kill bill was by a different director. Not only wasn't the story told as well as the first one, but the story itself was also not as interesting. Most of the dialogue was cheesy and the action scenes did not have that magnificent feel that they had in the first kill bill. There were so many things in the first movie that gave it an epic like feel that were foolishly left out of the 2nd movie. One was the list kept by the bride on people that she had to kill. You would think with the significance the list played in the first movie, that at least she would cross out bills name when she had done the job. However the list was nowhere to be found. With the incredible battle scenes that were in the first movie, you would expect the final scene with bill to trump all them. But again, it didnt even come close. The final scene where she gets bill was as anticlimactic and boring as you can get. If you were a big fan of the first movie, I would recommend that you not even bother seeing the 2nd because it will only ruin the first movie for you.
