If you were like me, after seeing the first volume of Kill Bill, you came out of the cinema thinking there were a lot of questions unanswered. Well here they are. Ever wondered why she actually wants to Kill Bill? Or why everyone wants to kill her? What is Uma's characters name? And why does Ms Driver only have one eye? Personally I felt the first one was all blood and gore and not really a lot of explanation. The blood and gore is still here, but this time there seems to be a purpose. Kill Bill 2 has had a lot of mixed reviews, some say it was borin and the action wasn't as good. I say, congratulations Tarantino, this is back up to your usual standard. The action is still there, and your mind is ticking throughout the whole film as the story slowly reveals itself. Uma has some more amazing fight scenes and the deaths of the other members of the Deadly Vipers are equally as exquisite as the first film. The meeting with Bill is worth the wait, and yet unexpected. The humour in the sequel is much better but for those of you who want the action and killing, its still there alright! One thing that cannot be said about this film is that it is predictable, it's anything but. I wasn't a huge fan of the first and got dragged along to the second, and I'm glad I did. This is my kind of film, and as for the music, they need to release a double CD of both volumes as it's one of the best I've ever heard.
