An Odd Pleasure

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2012)

When I tell people what my favorite movies is, my answer varies. One of the answers I will give them is Kill Bill, without saying Vol. 1 or Vol. 2. If you are a fan of the first movie (like myself) be warned: this is a completely different kind of movie! The first time I watched the movie, I did not enjoy it. The second time, I enjoyed it quite a lot. This movies contains long stretches of dialog, with only a few scenes of so called "kung-fu action" mixed in. This movie definitely gives us a more personal view of The Bride, and explains a lot of open-ended questions from Vol. 1. That being said, the movie does have some less than exciting parts. For example, every scene with Bud (in my opinion). Along with this, Beatrix and Bill's love story is less than desirable. Especially all of their attempts at killing each other (which, spoiler, she does in the end). It is kind of a sick love story meets a kung fu movie meets a dialog piece, but is an enjoyable watch in the end.
