An alluring, exotic, dynamic, rough modern masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2007)

Kill Bill Vol 2 (2004)
One of my top 5 films of 2004
Tarantino hits the nerve, raises the bar, reduces the violence, increases the humour only to create a dynamic and superior sequel to Kill Bill vol 1.
Kill Bill is a visual splendour, the ultimate part of the saga of the Bride in search of the remaining names on her list. ELLE, BUDD, BILL.
Not much about the story, but about the fascinating things Tarantino's camera shows us; fascinating images, characters, words.
The last 30 minutes of the film have Tarantino playing with the script, including his usual irrelevant things, as he has Bill talk about Superman in detail. Then again, why do we see films. To be entertained. QT knows how to entertain and this is no different.
Kill Bill 2 is a thrilling experience a wonderful contrast to the first part; this is a calmer more philosophical film rather than a violent, vulgar and graphic first part. They fit together perfectly; like COLD neutralising HOT. They complete a fascinating duo of films.
KILL BILL VOLUME 1 - 7/10
KILL BILL VOLUME 2 - 9/10
