Disappointing Sequel to a Fantastic First Part

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2005)

Many of the film buffs I talked said that they liked this film I however, did not.
I was disappointed by all the romantic talk. I wanted more flights of fancy, but seeing everything brought down to a level of human-ness took away from the magic and fantasy that filled "Kill Bill Part 1." It seems strange that QT would get soft on his story of revenge and his viewers. I was not particularly impressed with David Carradine's final scene in the film, either. Too cerebrally, not fantastic enough.
I also did not like how Elle Wood kills Bud, when I would have preferred to see "Beatrix Kiddow" get the job done.
Despite my disappointment with the film as a whole, I did like the scenes of "Kiddow" on the mountains with the white-haired guru. I think those flash-back sequences were the highpoint of the film.
