Not quite up to the incredibly high standard set by #1, but an excellent follow-on.

I think this movie is a lot better when you watch it right after Kill Bill Vol. 1

I LOVEDTHIZMOVIEANDUMAWAZBEAUTIFUL IN IT. I LOVEHOW IT WASSHOT

Let’s begin by the end: Kill Bill 2 is one hell of a disappointment. Its spectecular style of fighting was sacrafised to satisfy those conservative viewers who usually don’t watch anyway movies like this.

I personally liked the 1st movie. Though its extreme violence, it was a unic action movie that in some point also had some unforgatable moments.

So, that is the first mistake- the 2nd movie ISN’T AN ACTIONMOVIE. It is a drama with one or two fighting moments. In the rest of the movie, a whole lot of minutes, QT bullshits us with long and endless conversations between the characters, a-la the two sequels of the Matrix. The audience who liked the 1st movie, craves for blood showers, gets very bored by the unecessary dialogues and expected philosophy. It is well seen specially the scence in the end, that is extremely disappointing for an action movie (guess what it doesn’t have) and has a very annoying conservative message.

Another style that remained with the 1st KB was its pounding way of telling the story and about the characters: Fightings, irregular music, animation. This movie has none. The story is told the old way, except that Black Momba kills only one person in this movie, and it is being done so fast, that the crowd cannot even notice what is happening.

Maybe the problem is that thestory is told backwards. In the first movie Qt had only flasbacks of the hero waking up and afterwards revenges with anger. The crowd somehow understands the character and feels identification with her. In this movie Qt chose to tell us the personal story even though the crowd already likes the characters! It’s silly, not a worthy sequel as we expected it. In fact, the 2nd is a Bad movie. Some parts are so misunderstood, so full of cliches and stupid acts, you cannot wonder whether Qt actually despises his fans. It was a very strange scence in the middle, when Budd invites Elle into his house to sell her the sword. Considering the fact that he’s an ex- assacin, we cannot raise an eyebrow and ask ourselves whether he is really that idiot to fall into that trap, known in too many movies. Oh, and don’t forget that snake that for some reason won’t bite Elle, and the bride’s amazing ability to breathe freely six feet under and climb then the roots in the ground as it was a scence from Harry Potter 3.

How can it be one of the 250 top movies voted? no idea, but thank Qt for spoiling two hours of my life. See you in the next metamorphosis.

before i saw both volumes, most of the people who saw them told me that the 2nd was way better than the 1st. I really enjoyed the 1st (even though it was too violent for me), but the 2nd… i found it desappointing.

It has great dialogue. Even good dialogue is rarely seen, or rather heard, anymore. This movie has less physical action than the first Kill Bill but it’s more than made up for in the emotional tension throughout the movie.

Why was Kill Bill One so awesome and Kill Bill Two so disappointing???
