Surprisingly incoherent and boring

How sad is this?

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The second part gives us a more in depth look into the actions that the Bride had taken in the first part, how she decided to make a change and the consequences of it all. It has some of the best dialogue written especially in the last parts of the movie when Bill and Kiddo finally meet. Their interaction is what makes the movie special it gives us an insight into what makes them who they are. Bill is cold and has a heart at the same time, Kiddo is deadly yet vulnerable and has a difficult time speaking her emotional state. This is most evident when Bill drops by the Chapel and her hesitation and fear is displayed by the frantic looks and tone changes Uma thurman uses, the Bride is most human then. Both movies are a one destination journey, the most touching part is her journey as a warrior under the tutelage of Pai Mei. This is where we catch a glimpse of the warrior that Kiddo really is, and what makes her different from all the others, she has a deep honor and respect for tradition. This casts her in a superior mold to Bill as a warrior, who is cunning and fierce but lacks the dedication Kiddo has for she has an honor code they all lack.

There's a quote by the character Budd in this Quentin Tarantino movie after our now Bouncer is asked to compare his Hatori Honzo sword with others. It is at this time that he hesitates and comments on appropriate and inappropriate comparisons. I would venture that the same goes true for QT movies. As they are genre compilations with their own set of rules of the film realm, that we have come to love and trust, they really stand in their own place. We picked up here where we left off with The Brides' Viper Assassin Gang Assassination List 40% complete, with another 88 or so Samarai style deaths absolved along the way in the name of avenging the loss of her baby four years earlier. If we were expecting more of the same we would have been selling QT short. Enter The Western!It's a dirty, dusty old trail of revenge and nothing is going stop her, except herself... see beginning and ending off the movie for further details. This is countered by overacting, which is purposefully delicious and appropriate. To compare KBII to KB I is miss the point of a continued move. This really isn't a "II" , in the movie sense of franchised adventure. Volume 2 is simply the second half of a movie that was split in two for purposes of audience attention span, studio double dipping into your pockets and, I'm guessing, a bit off QT tom foolery.... and isn't that what we came for?

With this film Quentin Tarantino concluded his 'Kill Bill' epic. The decision to do this as a two-parter was because the material he amassed for the project soon became so sizeable that it became impractical to release as a single film; both movies combined clocked in at over four hours. At the time, Tarantino was such a powerful director that he could essentially do what he liked and this two volume offering is certainly self-indulgent. I've always wondered if, with some editing, there was maybe one excellent film in here as opposed to two good ones. But that is strictly by-the-by now and what we have is two entertaining, if uneven, films. For my money, part one is the superior entry but I still think vol.2 still offers a lot of enjoyment. Where Tarantino's 90's films integrated their movie references and numerous homages into their overall crime stories quite seamlessly, his post-millennium efforts have tended to include them often just for their own sake. This has tended to make his films from this later period feel like the sum of their parts outweighs the whole and overall I have usually felt that they, while often exhibiting directorial and screen writing excellence, often include frustrating moments of inanity. The 'Kill Bill' films display these faults too I think but also the considerable directorial, and to a lesser extent, screen writing skills of its creator. With this entry the Bride continues on her revenge mission against her former colleagues from the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. We learn more about the infamous incident where they carried out a murderous assault on her and her wedding party. We also finally meet Bill for the first time and better understand his relationship with the Bride.In this entry Tarantino specifically pays homage to the action films of both the east and west, specifically the chopsocky and spaghetti western sub-genres. To this end we have an extended training sequence where the Bride is taught by a martial arts expert, while we also have much Ennio Morricone music on the soundtrack and a cowboy villain to boot. The 'Kill Bills' were probably the least interesting dialogue movies Tarantino has ever delivered, they are much more minimal in this department and much more interested in visuals and action. The writing is still good enough though and more important in the second part than the first certainly. David Carradine finally appears as Bill, I remember thinking at the time that it felt like an eternity before we finally saw him which was as much to do with the idea of this film first being mentioned shortly after Tarantino completed Jackie Brown (1997), so it was a good six or seven years between then until we finally saw Bill on screen in this movie. It was an epic amount of time but Carradine is certainly a good choice in the role and it was nice to see a true b-movie actor get such a prominent billing (no pun intended). The rest of the cast do fine but this is less of an actor's movie than Tarantino normally delivers, it's far more about the overall spectacle and set-pieces. I would probably be inclined to rank this one as the least of Tarantino's movies so far, although that is admittedly a relative statement as I still was very entertained by it.

"Kill Bill Vol 2" is different from the first, betting on phenomenal dialogues, screenplay and gratuitously controlled violence, a sequel to the wonderful Kill Bill, with less exaggeration, less reference and a much more cadenced film, preoccupied with telling the beginning and the end, It falls in technical terms, but it wins in terms of script, besides being a much more film with a face of Tarantino, although it is a technical reference, as a technical reference and the exaggerations of the first. (2 more than the first), we are not a journey, forget only the abatements, come here the important is The development of the work, the development of it, except for our protagonist, is completely humanized and badly rememberable of the killer Which it is. Technically the film is much more restrained than the first in all respects, nothing blends cinematographic styles or guiding the film with songs, none of it, but very cool details, with the use of camera, open plans, zoom abuse In And zoom out, the closing of Sergio Leone, as well as its details, a montage of the film leaves a belly, in addition to being much slower in relation to the first, until a soundtrack plunges, because in the second, the Silence and contemplation pattern More the scene than the track itself. A cool thing in the second film is how performances, which gain a notorious quality leap with Michel Madsen and David Carradine, and even the entrepreneur Pai Mei played by Gordon Liu. Finally, "Kill Bill Vol. 2" is much less experimental, even of the two being recorded together, a change of style in the two films is completely notorious, the second is the opposite of an experience, is a film centered, with all as Signatures of Tarantino, is a good movie, Only with less charm.
