Kill Bill: Volume 2
The follow up to Volume 1
and the end of the Kill Bill series. I liked the first movie much better and for quite a few reasons.
Volume 2 was missing all of the fight scenes that made Volume 1 stand out. There were a few short action sequences, but only enough to wet your appetite. Way too much talking, background information, and scenes that had no place in the movie. I was actually quite bored during portions of the movie, so saying I was disappointed would be an understatement.
The movie starts with “The Bride” (Uma Thurman) riding in a car, giving a short recap of the events in the first installment. The movie then goes on to show exactly what happened at the church. We also find out who Bill is. The rest of the movie is the journey “The Bride” takes to kill Bill. About the only thing that kept the movie playing was my need to see her finish the job.
If you’ve seen the first movie, you have to see this one simply to get the whole story. If you haven’t seen Volume 1, don’t waste your time with either volume. I’ll be generous and give this movie a C.

Actually, I liked both movies. Though the action was a bit over the top. But wathcing two over the weekend was a great action escape while it was cold and snowy outside. I couldn’t play golf, but I could at least watch a lot of swinging.
