Kill Bill Vol. 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2004)

8/10
Most of the excitement and eye-popping visuals take place in the first one rather than spread out evenly between the two volumes so Vol. 2 moves a bit slower (despite being longer) than its predecessor. Nevertheless the movie is still very enjoyable, and David Carradine steals every scene he's in (Michael Madsen is also excellent). The ending is surprisingly touching although like in the first one, the movie's final showdown is an abrupt one. I also thought some of the stuff at the end was kind of cheesy but I'd spoil the ending if I went into greater detail so I'll leave it at that. Very satisfying end to a story that's far more inventive than it first appears.
