Sinematic Sequel

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2005)

Yes, Sinema, movies that are too much fun to not be a bit of a sin to watch.
Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a worthy follow up to Kill Bill Vol. 1. But it's a bit of a letdown from the sheer perfection of 1.
It's a bit slow, talky, and without a doubt needed an action climax worthy of the final action sequence of 1.
But, that aside, it's still a fine film. With an Oscar worthy performance by David Carradine. I'm reminded of Burt Reynolds comeback flick Boogie Nights. Neither won the Oscar that year and it was a crime. Burt should have played the part of the coked out titty bar owner. He seemed like an ideal fit for it.
And Carradine is one of the coolest cats in Sinematic history with this performance. He has one line that sums him up in the flick, "I'm the Man." And he is.
The film cries out for one last epic action sequence with perhaps The Bride taking on a ton of Bill's henchmen and then Bill himself. Another thing that vexed me is that Carradine got into the best shape of his life for this film and he is almost NO action sequences in the film! None! Now who wouldn't want to see Bill kicking some serious ass in this? A flawed, but still awe inspiring, blood drenched, sin filled and sinematic sequel!
