[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Or KBv2, to revive and old, [i]old[/i] joke. :p Anyway, saw it tonight and wasn't nearly as impacted as by the first one. (Which I absolutely LOVED, for the record.) Actually, I was somewhat disappointed by it. It still had its great moments, though. (Particularly the Bride/Elle fight and Bill's "Superman" monologue, and really most of the stuff between Bill and the Bride towards the end.) The pacing/editing wasn't as tight as the first installment, and there was much less "ass kicking" as well. I thought the opening was a little weak compared with that of its predecessor, and at least some of the Pai Mei (aka Yoda) was extraneous, though it did tie into the main plot at the end. What were definitely non-essential and non-plot-oriented were Micheal Madsen's early scenes, before *BEEEEEP* (we do learn it in this one though ;) ) shows up. The reviewer in my local paper noted that there's such a different tone to the second part that it's difficult to beleive Tarantino ever seriously considered releasing both volumes as one film. I would agree. Much like the two [i]Matrix[/i] sequels, the follow-up depends upon its predecessor but then fails to uphold it satisfactorily. This is all strictly IMHO, of course, and perhaps I'm being a bit too harsh, but these are my first impressions. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
