Thurman brings new meaning to The Bitch is Back

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2005)

Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks. Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino. And a sneak peek at Samuel L. Jackson's back.
Thurman brings new meaning to The Bitch is Back. The sequel to the gore-fest Kill Bill volume 1 returns with revenge and discipline. The Bride (Thurman) seeks again to quench her thirst of the blood from the three remaining assassins that shot her around four years ago. This time she aims to kill Bill's redneck brother Budd (Madsen), Bill's new lady friend Elle Driver (Hannah), and the mastermind of evil Bill himself (Caradine).
I myself thought that the second one was not as good or gory as the first one. A surprisingly good sequel, once again the black and white was Tarantino-like. Meaning superb and a classical technique in the hands of Quentin. I'll admit the movie had it's high points but I thought they did to much talking. Unlike the first where she was jumping around with her Hattori Hanzo sword killing people left and right. The fight adviser Yuen Woo-Ping returns to help out in the fight scenes this time winning them the Best Choreographed Fight of 2004. But never the less a disappointing and yet at the same time a surprisingly good movie. My final rating 7/10.
