Some might call "Kill Bill 2" the better half of this odd couple of films with different tones married by a plot, director and actors. If revenge and ultra violence are your thing, "Kill Bill 2" delivers but it also has the pointless, rapid fire dialogue that has become a Tarantino trademark. Tarantino still tips his hat to Asian kung fu movies, anime, Sergio Leone, comic books and American action films all within the course of this ambitious second half of one film. Oddly, the film is credited as being created by "Q&U"(that's Quentin and Uma for those who miss the obvious use of their first initials). Strange from a film director who once convinced his collaborator on the script for "Pulp Fiction" to remove his name as screenwriter in exchange for the money to finish a film. At any rate, Thursman's Bride goes after Bill in this one and that, as they say, is that. It's definitely the slower, more stately (if you can call it that) of the two films. Regardless, "Kill Bill 2" does entertain in high style kicking the butts of competitive film directors looking to get the tag of "the next Taratino". ---

There's very little meat to "2" beyond the film itself. We get a single deleted scene which isn't of any signficance. We also get footage from the premiere. ---
