Another great Tarantino opus

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2004)

The bride continues to take her revenge on those who killed her baby, her husband and almost herself. After having killed Vernita Green and O-Ren Ishii in volume 1, she runs after Budd (Michael Madsen), Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah). And `she's gonna kill Bill'. To do that, she'll have to remember all the lessons of her master, Pai Mei. But a surprise is waiting for her before she accomplishes her revenge.
Kill Bill volume 1was just an appetizer. The whole plot is in the volume 2. Among the two main components of Tarantino movies (that is: 1 violent fight scenes and 2 funny talkative scenes), this volume 2 contains 20% of component 1 and 80% of component 2 (the opposite in volume1). This volume 2 is rich in funny scenes and dialogues, violence and yes emotion. Like in Jackie Brown, Tarantino is good at creating strong woman characters. The bride is determined to go to the end of her revenge, and she won't let go even if that includes resuscitating a second time (a tribute to the Night of the living dead). The soundtrack is great as usual, and as usual, you can try to find the influence of hundreds of directors and movies in this last Tarantino opus (the most obvious one being Sergio Leone). However, you can enjoy the movie (good plot, good dialogues) without any cinema culture. I give this one 8/10.
