Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)

Doesn't measure up to the first movie…after watching them both, I'm of the opinion that there was no need to have 2 volumes…just one film tightened up to about 2 hours and 20 minutes would have worked much better.

David Carradine was the BIGGEST among many problems with this film. His monologues challenged my attention both in pacing and length. The ending also sucked. Please. The five-point-exploding heart technique? No. She should have performed the little pattern...let Bill assume it was the technique, but as he stood to walk away, run him through with her sword...having fooled him into believing she'd been taught what Pai Mei wouldn't teach. Let her OUTSMART him, not outfight him. Isn't that better?

Huge disappointment.
