Kill Bill 2 is fantastic and in it the tortuous journey of
revenge taken on by the tortured bride (Uma Thurman) kicks
up to a new level of action and humour.
To recap on the story so far. The Bride and her wedding party
are wiped out by Bill (David Carradine) and four of his top
assassins - O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), Vernita Green (Vivicia
Fox), Elle Driver (Darryl Hannah) and Budd (Michael Madsen).
O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green are dead. Each killed by the
Bride for the horrendous losses she has suffered.
Now our gal is closing in on Bill and the remaining killers
and she can barely curb her enthusiasm for what she has to
do.
Budd is her next target and he seems pretty blasé
about the whole thing when he is warned by brother Bill that
Kiddo is on his tail. Mind you, he's working as a cat-club
bouncer and lives in a caravan so death may not be so bad.
Anyway, things don't quite work out the way they should and
there is one particularly evil scene involving being buried
alive. This had me sweating in my jocks. I'm hoping to die
in my sleep but if I can't I do not want to go like is shown
in Kill Bill 2.
We can't say too much more on the plot other than to give
it a huge thumbs-up. Wicked and nasty and well rounded.
Thurman is even better in this than the first and we do get
to see much more of David Carradine, which is usually good
viewing.
This is one of the DVDs of the year.
Conclusion: Movie 95% Extras 75%
