Advantages: amazing speical effects and is for the whole family Disadvantages: not for very young people as slight violence
...i purchased this dvd about three weeks ago and after seeing the series on the tv i was amazed that i was still hooked .
this series is good for the whole family but you might want to check it as there is some swearing and sex involved.
There is something in this series for everyone, for the children there are aliens and the fact that theres amazing affects and excitement. For the men theres a lot of violence and sexy scenes.
There is also a womens aspect as this a action based, alien, crime detective thriller.
This dvd is also packed with loads of speical features and deleted scenes.
There is a large amount of viewing time to be had out of this dvd and so
it is great value for money....

Advantages: An excellent rip-roaring conclusion to an excellent first part, Tarantino at his best.Pure genius in celluloid. Disadvantages: A shame there is not a 3rd part to this movie.
...When Tarantino released Kill Bill Vol1, it was met with wide acclaim, some positive some not so positive, claiming he had just made a bloodfest and was into shocking people, true the original movie was graphic in parts but I believe it paved the way for Vol2.
In Vol1. we see that the charcter played by Uma Thurman has been wronged (to put it mildly) and is merely exacting her perceived revenge for the loss of her child and nearly her life but we know little of the depths of the charcaters.
In Vol 2. we get more in depth information relating to the characters in the movie, and we get the cataclysmic ending that just the movie justice.
Vol1 was the jammy sponge for the film and Vol 2 is most definitely the icing and decorations.
In both movies we have excellent acting, scripting and direction (as we have come to expect from...

...As much as I love CKY I must confess this was a huge let down. After watching CKY2K and Haggard, I had such high hopes for this. People kept telling me it was god awful, I just wish I'd listened..
The DVD contains CKY vol1 and CKY documentary, which is the only saving grace to such a dire product.
What you get when you buy this product is a poorly cut and chopped version of Vol1 almost as if Bam was riding the wave of publicity from his Tony Hawk 3 inclusion and realised he could flog anything with CKY labelled on the front.
You get what seems to have been editted by a 4 year old child on the main "video" with the CKY crew doing their normal thing, intersected with 1/2 skethches before ending the previous one.
Though as has been said, the documentary saves this from being a total failure. It's an absolutely hilarious extra and should...
