All the unanswered questions from Kill
Bill: Vol. 1 get cleaned up, but the style and approach are
rather different in Kill Bill: Vol.2.
Tarantino seems to know just how to toss
in fresh new ideas and spin a tale of love, murder, reflection,
parenthood, and revenge in his own style, where you're always
waiting for him to generate and hold suspense throughout the
movie.
Even during the most slow and laid back
moments, the threat of danger is always there. You can't outguess
Tarantino; that's why he's my main-man for the pictures I always
like and enjoy. |
Playing more like a romantic comedy than
its gorefest predecessor, Kill Bill: Vol. 2 is a completely
different movie.
A tribute to Chinese Kung Fu and Leone
westerns, it shows the softer side of deadly killers.
It's the story behind the story that answers
all your questions and, at the same time, provokes a few new
ones.
Yes, the bride is back (and she has a name!)
but not with the vengeance you might imagine.
Still, Tarantino packs a punch with one
of the most original films to come along in a long while. |
I liked Kill Bill: Vol. 2.
The movie stands alone as a clever, witty,
and entertaining action picture. The hideous violence and blood-saturated
gore of the first installment is mostly absent in Volume 2.
This film is the most unlikely of revenge
movies, a character-driven and visually sophisticated look at
one angry mother. |
