Somewhat different and better than Vol. 1

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2005)

Let me start by saying that Vol. 1 was quite a disappointment for me. I believe it was so because of the "ultra" high ratings that it received but when I saw it I did't share the enthusiasm. I just expected something different.
And before I saw Vol. 2 I kind of already knew what to expect. Well I am glad to admit that I think I finally see why film fans are praising Tarantino the way they are. He really is a master in making us see into the hearts of violent people. I like Vol. 2 more because there are more dialogs and a better more complete style in the storytelling.
I must shamefully admit that I have not yet seen Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown and yes I saw just the first 15 minutes of Pulp Fiction. But despite the lack in seeing Tarantino films I think I have seen enough of other good films to say that Vol. 2 is masterly directed with a good use of special FX, intense fighting scenes and a nice add of crude humor.
........ 4/5 ........
