Good, but not half as cool.

Rating: 7/10 (18 April 2004)

The movie was a flat out disappointment. It was good, but not half as cool as the first, and the directing style and story pacing felt completely different.
It was like watching another movie altogether, and the movie isn't even a true sequal. I think that Tarentino had too much time to get into the characters because of splitting the movie. Instead on concentrating on 'Cool', he concentrated on character and plot development. This is normally a great, great thing that Hollywood needs more of, but in this case, I feel it back-fired.
Don't get me wrong, Kill Bill Vol.2 is a good movie. It's just not nearly as good as the original, and it feels like a plot based movie instead of a cool action movie.
