Better than the great vol.1

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2020)

"Kill Bill vol.2" is clearly the second part of a long single movie but is very very different in tone and in the scope than the vol.1. Indeed the first one is more action oriented and more fun, especially with its over-the-top violent fights but the second part is deeper and more emotional. And if the vol.1 was so memorable in terms of action, vol.2 has great dialogues that are now printed in my head (and in particular the last one). And I'm not implying that this movie doesn't contain some great duels, because it surely does, but I preferred this more narrative oriented style and the overall messages and theme explored by this vol.2. And in all of that I found the finale very satisfying, a perfect pay off to the previous four hours. The movies (vol.1 and 2) works so well because all the characters are greatly characterised and were always intriguing and I was interested in watching how they would have evolved in the story. I've already talked about the dialogues but I want to underline them again because they were fantastic and I feel I could have watched two hours of people talking about how to open a bottle of water and still being entertained.
"Kill Bill" intended as a single movie is definitely worth watching again and again and the different type of narration between its two parts allows to love them both without caring about which is better than the other, but just enjoying a great storytelling.
