Kill Bill: Vol. 2
Uma Thurman's resurrected assassin continues her trail of revenge in the second half of Quentin Tarantino's East-meets-Western
In Kill Bill Vol 1 she was the Bride, she was Black Mamba. In Kill Bill Vol 2, the real name of Uma Thurman's sword-wielding heroine is finally revealed: Beatrix Kiddo.
Sadly, this is the greatest revelation Tarantino has to offer in the second half of his self-indulgent two-part movie. As highly anticipated films go, this is one helluva disappointment. But perhaps it was always going to be so - after all, the weight of expectation must have been heavy on Tarantino, the epitome of 1990s cool. As for the splitting of the film, holding off the release of Volume 2 to cash in on DVD sales of Volume 1, well Miramax's crude ...
Style over substance, but I like it!
Another QT film. Slick as ever. Chick who likes to kill people gets revenge on the people who tried to kill her. Eh, that's about it.
Lots of nice sound, stunningly shot, some great fight scenes and next to no plot. I suppose it is an attempt to echo a genre which, frankly, most people wouldn't watch. Think Pulp Fiction without the brilliant story.
Entertaining, yes, but it seems that Quentin is losing his way a bit. Peronally I think he should dump Uma who ain't all that and a bag of potato chips.
