More than what I expected...except for the blood

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2004)

To keep this amazingly short, Kill Bill Vol. 2 was much better than what I had expected. The plot is more developed and the character, Black Mamba is better portrayed as a heroine(vs. just one angry woman)in this episode. Thus, placing abilities of Uma Thurman prominently in the limelight. As well, the artistic efforts for each frame of the film is notably well thought out; each would make a really cool picture book! However, I was expecting more of a sword fight btw Bill and Beatrix, and more 'squriting blood'! More so, I thought the end was just too abrupt and it needs more of what I call "the cool-Tarantino-cheese." Maybe, simply his style has grown-up? Though this film cannot be viewed as 2 separate entities, I must say, like classics such as the Godfather and the Godfather II, it has surpassed it's predecessor, Vol I, greatly.
