Kill Bill2 rocks!! the movie is slower paced as compared to Vol1, as the time is spent developing each of the characters, the acting is A+, uma is the bride, darryl hannah is the one eyed elle, michael madsen is budd and david carradine is Bill, the object of the title. Uma thurman surely deserves a oscar for her muscular potrayal, while carradine's show stopping performance marks his comeback into mainstream hollwyood, i am sure we are gonna see more of this fellow.The fight scenes are beautifully choreographed, especially the bride's training under pai mei (a superb gordon liu..he is also the fight masterof the movie). The cinematography is excellent, especially the poignant wedding rehersal scene shot in grainy black & white..the musik as expected is a crazy mix & match of rock, jazz and pop. There are in-numerable references to other genre's...bill's treatise on superman, his references to natural born killers and offcourse all those hong kong kungfu movies shot in old temples, I dunno how many caught the reference to the lady from lust/cherry delight novels of Gardner Fox. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the combined versions of the two volumes, surely it will go down as one of the all time cult movies of our times.
PS: caught the tarilers of I, Robot (takeoff from asimov?) & Hero (another one man army kung fu movie)
