Review of Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) by Melvin W — 14 Jul 2012
The Bride: I've killed a hell of a lot of people to get to this point, but I have only one more. The last one. The one I'm driving to right now. The only one left. And when I arrive at my destination, I am gonna kill Bill. .
"The Bride Is Back For The Final Cut".
Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a good addition to the first film. Where the first film was a wall to wall action packed entry, this one slowed it down just a little bit and made for a more conversational film. It still had action and it still had the awesome choreography the first had; it just had longer scenes with more dialogue. For some action movies, that wouldn't work, but when Tarantino I'd the filmmaker; dialogue is a great thing. The more dialogue, the better, in my opinion. I liked this one just as much as the first and I think a second viewing of both would make me like them even more. .
You should know the plot as it is the title, but this is the one where she actually kills Bill. Along the way she kills some other people that had a hand in her death. We also see the scene right before Bill tries to kill her at the church, and we see her get training from the very man that Bill got his training from. Like the first one, and just about every Tarantino film, the plot jumps around. It's told in a very non-linear fashion, which has proven to work perfectly for Tarantino. .
Film lovers love these movies because there is just so much to take away from them, even on the first viewing. Tarantino's love for movies come out in these Kill Bill movies more than any other movie he has made. Everything about Kill Bill is done in a very detailed, very technical, very workmanlike way. Every shot, every song, every piece of dialogue, is exactly the way Tarantino wants it. A lot of what's going on in these movies is paying homage to the movies he loved. .
As a combination, these movies are amazing. Uma Thurman is the perfect fit for her character, as is David Carradine. These movies are a film buffs dream, but so is Quentin Tarantino. The Kill Bill movies are must see films. If you love any genre that these movies touch, it's necessary. If you love smart, exciting, action packed, funny films, watch these movies. You won't be disappointed in the four hour long runtime of the two films together. .
