Kill Bill: Vol 2

Kill Bill: Vol2 Venue: Odeon, Guildford

Tarantino claimed the first film was a made up of a series of moments you wanted to see, with none of the moments in-between.

It appears that he has forgone this maxim for Vol 2. This is the part with the exposition lacking in Vol 1. This means a lower body count, but more Tarantino dialogue.

Where Vol 1 seems to have been born from anime and a more Japanese style, Vol 2 has its roots from Chinese kung-fu movies, and spaghetti westerns. This actually felt more like previous Tarantino films than Vol 1.

I heard one person on the way out stating how "sequels are never as good as the originals". Good thing this isn't a sequel then. This is the second half of one film. Consider the time since the last movie as an intermission and you'll be fine.

I liked the second half of the movie, although I thought it had a distinctly film noir flavor to it at first. It was rather more quintessential Tarantino, and a fine ending to a long, long movie.
