Kill Bill Vol. 2 [DVD] [2004]

Another Classic Film By Quentin Tarantino That Is Timeless! Especially Since It’s In A Steelbook Form....Priceless.

The Bride (Uma Thurman) picks up where she left off in volume one with her quest to finish the hit list she has composed of all of the people who have wronged her, including ex-boyfriend Bill (David Carradine), who tried to have her killed four years ago during her wedding to another man. Leaving several dead in her wake, she eventually tracks down Bill in Mexico. Using skills she has learned during her assassin career, she attempts to finish what she set out to do in the first place.

This is one of those rare sequels that stay consistently exceptional after the first movie. After Kill Bill Volume 1, the action scenes in Kill Bill stay stellar and there’s a great amount of back story in this sequel that explains more in detail as to why the beginning scene of Volume 1 opened the story for the audience. Love both Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2. I now own them after purchasing the digital copies provided for a really great price [can you see the pattern here?;) ] Anyways, I also recommend. Enjoy watching this! I know I did!

Here's the review I wrote for Kill Bill Volume 1: "Fun and entertaining. Uma Thurman was wonderful. You're rootin' for her all the way and you're not disappointed." I would say the same review pertains to Kill Bill Volume 2, except I would add I am a big fan of the films of director Akira Kurasawa. Much of these two films reminded me of many of Kurasawa's samurai classics.

This was a revelation when I first saw it in theaters and it has stayed with me for years. I picked this up to watch it again and it lived up to all the memories. I like the pacing and visual style of this film, it is very well made all around. Strong violence throughout, but man you really do get behind the lead and want to see her come out on top.
