Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a success. Tarantino does it again "spoiler"

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2014)

Kill Bill Vol. 2 is the second and final installment in the Kill Bill series directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film stars Uma Thurman as the "Bride" Beatrix Kiddo and David Carradine as Bill. The film picks up where the first installment left off with Kiddo on a "blood thirst rampage for revenge" as she describes it in the opening scene. Unlike the last film this one was not as bloody and gory in the screens. This film had a lot more dialog, which gave the viewer answers to some of the back-story questions we had about Kiddos past and exactly what happened in the church that day Kiddo was shot in the head. Unlike the last film that just narrated with Bills voice from time to time we actually see what Bill looks like and the roll he plays in Kiddo;s revenge with Kiddo finally getting the revenge she deserved. Revenge is still the main purpose in Kiddo's story and the theme of the film. Tarantino does a great job keeping the film moving at a fast pace with also giving the viewer the necessary dialog to know what is going on in the film. I finished the film without having any big questions unlike Tarantino's other blockbuster Pulp Fiction. The acting in the film I don't think was the best I have seen but it was not the focus of the movie. The film had excellent editing and use of sound effects that made the acting not as noticeable. An example of this editing is when Kiddo is being buried alive. The editor chose to show shots of the hammer close up and the hammer striking the nail to show the power of the hammer sticking the nail. Then he showed close ups on Kiddo's face as the casket was nailed shut. By cutting back and forth between these close up shots help show the fear in Kiddo as each blow of the hammer strikes the nail. By doing the editing like this it gave the viewer a feeling of power in the hammer and help show the emotion that Kiddo felt being buried alive. It was as if I was being buried myself.
