Semi decent film

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2004)

Before I start, I want to point out I have not seen the first of the two movies. So i may kick myself in the butt after posting this. I want to say kill Bill 2 was decent. I am not a Tarantino fan so I don't expect much out of him. But I am a film student, so what I am about to say is coming from a film student point of view. The movie had a lot of dialogue, most interesting but some seemed to ramble on & on. Also what irritated me was that he doesn't use a lot of a shot variation. He sticks with a constant shot for every scene and it gets boring, there is nothing there to hold you attention. If he changed the shots up from time to time and not go back & forth between two different shots, the movie would have been more interesting. He does well with the action sequences but the other parts the shots are just boring. I thought the black & white to color style was effective, relating to past & present. That worked well. I will say I am gonna try to rent the first film and watch it but so far i am impressed with the story but not with the filming style. Tarantino needs to get with the damn program.
