Another overrated Tarantino film

Rating: 5/10 (10 August 2004)

Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a step above the first Kill Bill because of David Carradine's role as Bill. However, that is not saying much because the movie goes on so many tangents that are very distracting. I don't understand why Kill Bill wasn't made into one movie. I saw no reason that the two movies together could have been cut to two hours. It spends too much time with extranous characters and situations that I simply lost patience. None of Bill's associates are very interesting. I don't care if you have an eye patch, Daryl Hannah, you are not a threatening assassin and don't get me started on your acting. Quentin Tarantino seems to forget that action movies have to move fast with little dialouge or character development. Instead we have too much talk and we learn too much about Bill's associates than we care about. We want to see the Bride and Bill go at it one on one. Unfortunately, it takes too long for us to get there. We want to see the associates disposed of quickly and move on to Bill. 5/10 for its stylishness but fatally overlong.
