Better than the first

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2005)

While I feel that the 90 odd minutes of my life spent watching the first were not a complete waste (about 45 were spent dozing off) I felt cheated out of the rental price. I am not a great fan of Tarantino films. They are typically overdone caricatures of a theme and very shallow.
This was either a relief to see, or Quinten's head was a little clearer when he did this one. The supporting cast definitely adds to the story, and there are comedic moments of irony sorely lacking in the first.
Beyond this however, the violence and profanity is still grossly mindless- I am not at all opposed to either, however it must be justified with context.
