Kill Bill, Vol. 2
When describing Kill Bill, Vol. 2, people have thrown around a lot of words like "brilliant" and "amazing"... and as much as I really wanted to agree... I just can't. Kill Bill has the makings of a great film, but is ultimately damaged by the one man who gave birth to its potential greatness: Tarantino. Quentin has never learned that sometimes characters just need to *shut up.*

At what should have been a thrilling climax to a film that had been witty and enjoyable, we are betrayed and bored to tears by 20 minutes of useless flashbacks and wandering dialog. Worse still, he completely ignores the moral ambiguity of the Bride's mission that was so clearly established in the opening moments of Vol. 1.

RATING: R (Only because the first hour-and-a-half are so entertaining)
