cool and sharp, very sharp - but too long

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2007)

"And... The hat. That ffffffucking hat. How many times haven't I told you, don't wear that fffucking hat here? How many?" - "The customers wear hats." - "Yeah well I'm not the boss of the customers, I'm the boss of you. And I'm tellin' you to leave that sh*t kicker hat at home!"
When I saw the first Kill Bill, I said to myself this is something new. But what can you expect from a cineast like Tarantino right? However I thought the fighting scenes were too long and the dialogues could have been much better. That's what the second volume was all about: more spaghetti western, less Shaolin monkey sh*t. And this was mainly because Michael Madsen en Daryl Hannah had a huge roll in it in comparison to volume 1. Also there was lots of funny stuff in it, f.e. the dialogue in the beginning between Michael Madsen and Larry Bishop, the Pai Mai priest ... One thing bothered me in a "gargantuan" way: the pauses between every spoken line, especially by Carradine. They were simply too long and that's why I rated this movie 7 instead of 8. Other than that great flick!
