I give it 3 stars.

I reserve 4 stars for movies like Vertigo, Andrei Rublev, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Pulp Fiction

So 3 stars from me is high praise.

Like I've said earlier, Volume 2 is the cinematic equivalent of a 7-layer burrito with the works and the best salsa you've ever had in your life.


4 stars from me.

Volume 2 is the best movie I've seen this year.

Groucho 04-21-04 10:07 PM

Anybody who rated this less than 5-stars should have their movie-watching privledges revoked, because they obviously just don't get it.

Skull 04-21-04 10:12 PM

Awesome!

Drop 04-21-04 10:19 PM

But Groucho the scale only goes to 4.

I still rate it 5 stars though.

I liked Volume 1 quite a bit more (would have given that a four) than Volume 2, and since three stars was the next lowest, it had to suffice.

Catch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind while you still have a chance.

Awesome.

KB2 is one of the best movies I have ever seen, easily a masterpiece. Better than volume 1. And the ending ... it was perfect!

I've seen both films, liked both, but Vol. 2 still wins hands down.

Just saw it today and voted "average". I guess I was comparing it to volume 1... Good story, good action scenes (or scene) but what struck me was the totally inept dialogue.

What I like about Tarantino is the way he writes dialogue like bullets coming out of a gun. But I did not hear that at all in vol.2. Some parts should have been cut (that whole Superman bit, ok ok I get it).

Volume 2 should have been cut to be included with vol.1 in a 3 hour movie.

Ginwen 04-22-04 08:37 PM

Good (***). Not as good as part 1.

db27 04-22-04 09:37 PM

thought it was slightly better than volume one, had David Carradine been in the 1st I would have to rethink that but he was phenomenal.

MrSneis 04-23-04 12:59 PM

I only wanted to see david carridine cut loose

neiname 04-23-04 11:50 PM

Volume 1 Awesome, Volume 2 not so good. I think the majority of scenes to make this movie from 3 hours to 4 probably were part of the second volume as it had tons of fat.

RocShemp 04-24-04 12:08 AM

I expected to find Vol. 2 superior to Vol. 1, since the meat of the story is in Vol. 2 but I find the second to be marginally bellow the first. It just failed to resonate the way it should. It wasn't the writing really. It was the pacing. It was all off and for a volume that runs for 137 minutes (Vol. 1 was 110 minutes) it feels extremely rushed. And because of that a few things here and there failed to resonate. Most notably the charge between the Bride and Elle. It didn't work for me because "The Cruel Tutelage of Master Pai Mei" failed to make me care about the character. And I am someone who was really looking foward to this chapter. It was just too brief (and not it an cool "I gotta see that again" kind of way). While watching that chapter I was thinking "damn! This chapter's gonna be awes - we're already at the next chapter?!" And it's not the fault of Uma Thurman or Gordon Liu. Both were great but having it cut off immediately after the rice scene was stupid. It looked like the beginnings of a great student/teacher story to rival (or even beat) "The Man from Okinawa" as the best chapter in these volumes. It just fell short and as a result another chapter suffered. There were other little bits here and there that missed the mark in much the same way. They weren't a lot but when you add the fact that Vol. was better accomplished in terms of merging a typical Quentin Tarantino movie with an homage movie, Vol. 2 falls just a step bellow Vol. 1 and I'd have to rate it as good rather than awesome.

FiveO 04-24-04 08:51 AM

I like Vol 1 and Vol 2 for different reasons. Its difficult for me to even put them in the same scale. 1 for the pure action. 2 for the dialog and filling out of the story.



Both very good films.

music of kill bill v2
 
Can anyone tell me the artist and/or title of the part when the bride is walking back to budds' trailer?

Thanks.
