Review of Kill Bill Vol.2

     Quinton Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol.2 is exuberant celebration of movie making. Coasting with heedless joy from one audacious chapter to another, working as a satire, working as a drama, working as irony, working as pure action. I would dare to say that Tarantino's fallow up to Kill Bill surpasses the original, being not so much a sequel as more of a continuation/backstory to Kill Bill Vol.1. The movie opens with The Bride (Uma Thurman) aka Beatrix Kiddo, behind the wheel of a car, explaining her mission; to kill Bill. As the movie progresses, you see the timeline jump from past to present, then back again. Giving a reminder and an explanation to the current events happening in the movie. It's almost like showing you a finished project, then going back and giving you all the gritty little details on how they made it, except way more interesting.
                                           
   
     Flashbacks remind us that the Bride, groom and entire wedding party were targeted by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad in a massacre at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel. Bill was responsible-- Bill who she confronts in the front porch of the chapel for a conversation that suggest the complexity and weirdness of their relationship. Bill is played by David Carradine, in a performance that shows that somehow the Bride and Bill had a real relationship, despite the preposterous details surrounding it.
                                                                               

     The Bride of course survives, waking up after a long coma. Swearing revenge on all those who wronged her, leading to long extended martial arts, sword swinging, fist to fist fight scenes, that are all extremely fun to watch.
                                          
     This is an all around great movie and I highly recommend it to anyone...Anyone 14 and up that is.
