Review of Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) by Katherine1 — 04 Feb 2019
Well, what can I say about this film? It's definately good for a sequel, but not better (not even equal) with epic Vol. 1. Vol. 1 was archetype (like the manga anime sequence idea), more impressive, visually striking, more interesting, it contained cool music tracks, it was faster, more fun to watch, action-packed, more frantic, the choreography of the fights and the cinematography were fantastic and last but not least, Uma Thurman's performance was better in 1.
I can find more positive things in 1 rather than 2. Vol. 2 was a bit predictable and the dialogue scenes were boring and tiring. Also, I definately loved the vengeful and ruthless Bride, not Beatrix Kiddo's sensitive character driven by emotions.
Also, Bill (David Carradine) really broke my nerves for some reason, he was an annoying character. The good points of this film was the whole chapter 8, the fight between Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah and the music tracks.
It looks more than drama/adventure rather than action film. It reminds mostly a western film rather than samurai. Overall, it was ok and decent but comparing to Vol. 1, I think it lacks visually beauty, action and suspence.
