Quentin Tarantino's best since Pulp Fiction

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2005)

The Bride is back and ready to kick ass in this conclusion to the two part series that Quentin Tarantino has establish as a masterpiece. Uma Thurman returns as the bride that everybody left for dead, until she got her revenge by killing two of the five assassins (Vivica A. Fox and Lucy Liu) and the crazy 88's; now she is after Bill (David Carradine), his lovely assistant Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) and Bill's brother Budd (Michael Madsen in a larger role) and ready for her vengeance. What makes Kill Bill Vol.2 a better film than the original is not by the choreography action, but its dialog and getting to know the characters. During flashbacks with the Bride, we see her in training by Bill's former master, Pai Mai (Gordon Liu) in which he has not only taught Bill, but also his deadly one-eyed assassin for which it is explained how Elle lost her right eye. Pai hates Americans and thinks that women are lazy and futile; he trains and punishes The Bride, as he is proved wrong that there is a woman who can fight back. We also get a look back at the wedding in El Paso, Texas for which The Bride is pregnant and about to marry a hick who runs a local music shop and at the same time meets Bill for which we all know what happens next. The last scene between Bill and The Bride is a climatic scene for which I will never forget, as I was shocked to see how it ended. I'm sure you will feel the same way I do when you watch this film. Overall, this is Quentin Tarantino's best work since Pulp Fiction in which not only does the dialog take in effect, but also understanding the motives behind these characters makes it even better.
