people expected volume 1 but saw a completley different experience movie making at its best!!

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2004)

i admit i was (nearly) one of those people. VOL.1 kicked ass and everyone went into the cinema expecting the same blood drenched pure action, but VOL.2 is a much more serious movie, and for the average no brainer cinema goer that think the fast and the furious is the best movie EVER! VOL.2 would be a giant bore except the fight between elle and the bride.we knew there was more dialogue in vol 2 then vol.1 but i dont think anyone expected quite so much after seeing hat vol.1 was like but these are two completely different movies.
I cant stress enough how ever how much serious film lovers, who are fans of Tarantino, fans of grindhouse or spaghetti westerns and any body with an open mind the film making will LOVE THIS.
i have always been a fan of tarantino and i applaude him for rejuevenating the cinema industry and giving us a great mix of artistry and entertainment.
some reviews i saw/read before vol.2 was released said that tarantinos famous dialogue was hashed and overused. but i completley disagree. again the another comparison going on this time from the critics THIS IS NOT PULP FICTION the dialouge is so continuous and free flowing in this movie that it does make it difficult too pick out on line that stands out, i mean any movie fan can recite most of pulp and dogs. UMA THURMAN as ever can do no wrong she excellent! david carradine as far as im concerned is the new sam jackson when it comes too delivering quentins lines i have NEVER been so gripped watching an actor deliver lines in such a menacing/genuine manner he has a whole speech about clark kent being supermans alterego which was fantastic viewing i hope he does a john travolta and appears in many more films.
with all the praise however there are a few minor grumbles (SPOILERS)
1.Beatrice dosent kill or even fight budd 2 the bride dosent kill elle (although with the state she was left in revenge was may be too let her suffer the rest of the her life thus revenge being served this could be forgiven i suppose) 3.no epic battle between the bride and bill (ok i sound like one of the fast and furious fans but after all shes been through there should have been a bit more of a fight it was all a bit easy in parallel it could of been all similar to the house of blue leaves with oren ishi but the could have been a fight then done the 5 point exploding heart technique as i do like the way he goes out) 4) theres a little too much of what we already know but thats not really a problem 5)im not entirely decided whether vol2 stands on its own in many ways it does and in a few others which i cant really think of right now it dosent but again thats not too important all things concidered its a GREAT MOVIE! i would love too see a version with volume 1 and 2 together and may some extra bits put in on a as part of a special edition box set along with the two original versions just out of interest.
Overall i HIGHLY reccomend this movie its gripping action/drama that makes excellent viewing. tarantino i salute you !!
4.5/5
