The second half of Tarantino's homage to Honk Kong Chinese action movies, preposterous 70's TV, martial art, Manga... (I could go on, but you get the drift) is slightly more gobby than Kill Bill Vol I - which with a Tarantino script can only be a good thing. The resurrected Bride is considerably closer to wish fulfilment, having offed nearly half of her former colleagues in the first film, the opportunity to slash Bill a new orifice is looking good, and if there's one thing she doesn't lack, it's motivation. Kill Bill Vol 2 just drips with retro style and contemporary cool, it would be fair to argue that some of his earlier films were perhaps better and cleverer, but for simple tackle out burn your retinas entertainment, this takes some beating.
