Kill Bill Vol 2 : 2 of 5
10.18.2005 6:14 PM \| Link	I guess I only rented this movie because I had to, even though I wasn't really that impressed with Kill Bill Vol 1. The good news is that Vol 2 is quite a bit different then Vol 1, and the bad news is that different doesn't mean better. I know Tarantino is a great filmmaker, but this just boils down to another director having fun for himself without really trying to be entertaining (I know, that's blasphemy to a lot of fans!). I thought the whole story was way too long, and I can't stand the cheesy chapter titles and action movie music. I guess I'm not a connoisseur of the genre, so I can't really appreciate what's going on here. I thought the black mamba waiting in the bag of cash was really cool and a nice surprise, but long scenes like the wedding massacre flashback were just kind of boring (and I could totally snooze every time Bill opens his mouth). The martial arts training scenes were OK, and definitely needed to explain how the Bride could punch her way out of being buried alive, but the big finale scenes were just kind of weird to me. Even though Bill is finally killed, it's just too bizarre thinking of the Bride as a mom without really explaining that she killed her daughter's dad. Anyway, it's over now, so I can get back to Disney movies and anime! Labels: dvds
