i thought that this title was more entertaining than the series because it went all out and just dumped awesome moment after awesome moment on the viewer in a constant barrage of flying limbs and blood. if you want more of the same from the first one, this movie will satisfy.

As for the plot, like the first one it's somewhat lacking, but that can easily be forgiven due to the wicked-stylish animation, great voice-work, and action that impressed me more than anything sense Equilibrium. i give it a solid 8, if the plot was more cohesive it could easily receive a 9 or 10. I bought the special edition DVD for 20$, if you liked the first show it's definitely worth the money to buy the second. i really want to find the soundtrack to this because the RZA did a really good job with the music.

I've been told by some that they thought kill bill was just a ridiculous unrealistic movie. i usually peply with something like, "if a movie was realistic, do you really think anyone would watch or like it??" Kill Bill may not have the best acting or story ever created, but guess what? it wasn't meant to. Tarantino purposefully wanted it to be sort of a throwback to the cheezy action/kung fu movies of the 70's. The action in this movie is obviously the biggest draw With it's high-octane no-holds-barred style, it sometimes transcends entertaining and and passes into awe-inspiring.

However, an overlooked facet of this gem of a movie is the music. it is a perfect combination of western and Japanese style with one particular song (the one playing on the main menu of the DVD) that is very catchy. overall i'd give it a 9/10. not exactly perfect, but as close to perfection as i've ever in an action/ kung fu film.
