not as good as vol 1

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2004)

me being a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino I was looking forward to seeing Kill Bill vol 1. It was great. Not one of his best, but still great. Now I've been anticipating vol 2 for months after it was delayed to april. It goes straight into the action, with a little introduction at the wedding, this being the first time I'd seen Bill's face. Generally this isn't as violent as vol 1, apart from one scene when the Bride is fighting Elle, but their is much more of a story. Vol 2 concentrates more on the love story between Bill and the Bride (whose name you also find out)and also you see where the Bride got all of her skills (the Pai Mei scene is very good). I was a bit dissapointed with the ending (though I'm sure we all know what happens at the end)I thought it could have happened a bit better, and Bill compares the Bride to Superman, which is just plain strange, but that's Tarantino for you. A bit of dissapointment after vol 1, but still a good film with some generally good scenes in it but not one Tarantino's best.
