For Tarantino to totally disregard the audience's expectations is criminal. Part 2 is nothing like Part 1, and therein lies the problem. You just can't shift gears like that. I didn't care about any of the characters or the plot because there was nothing there to begin with... Kill Bill 1 was a comic book. Kill Bill 2 piled on all the blah-blah-blah stuff while removing practically all the action. I did not want to see the Bride get her ass kicked/buried alive. It was boring. The first movie led me to expect to see her kicking mass-ass all the way up to the final battle with Bill. Part 2 failed to deliver on every level as a result. Budd was the least interesting character in the film because he was the most normal (followed by Vernita Green, but she gets points for her in-your face attitude, which Budd lacked). He was not a larger than life comic book villain. He was just some dumb hick with no personality. He ate up way too much screen time. Who needs to see him working at that strip club? YAWN! It was meaningless. Just have the Bride fight him, kill him and move on. The Bride losing to Budd was anticlimactic and unbelievable after all her spectacular efforts against the other Deadly Vipers. The buried alive scene elicited yawns instead of suspense. I grew more and more irritated with each shovelful of dirt hitting the coffin; the theater's speakers were too loud, the screen was black and it was excruciatingly slow and boring. The evil midget gravedigger was cool, though. Midgets make everything better.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> The wedding scene never paid off with the action scene we were led to believe was coming. Who needs it? YAWN. Could have been cut out or down.Elle should have had a giant fight scene every bit as beautiful and bloodthirsty as O-Ren Ishii had. Instead, we get five minutes alone with her in a cramped trailer. Woo-hoo. Some epic battle there. Bill should have had a big bad battle too (after she fights through Elle and his mooks). Not the wimped-out "family man" nonsense we ended up with. If I wanted that junk, I'd watch Oprah. Carradine put in a great performance, but it was not enough to save the sinking ship Kill Bill 2 was.The movie ruined my entire day. I'm not being a troll. I'm telling you how the movie made me feel. I came away from it angry, bored, drained of energy and ripped-off. I couldn't summon up the energy to even play D&D afterward. We were lucky to even get a game of Scrabble in, we all felt so drained and let down.I honestly cannot see how anyone enjoyed Part 2 after watching Part 1. I really can't.</blockquote>
