I agree with trigger, this is a better film than Vol. 1. Giving credit where credit is due, Vol. 1 is probably one of if not the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. Vol. 2 probably is probably the most emotionally charged Tarantino film there is. The ending was absolutely perfect, Carradine was exceptional as Bill, and Thurman gave her best performance since Gattaca. The only minor qualm I had with this film was the whole Budd episode, which I must admit I found a tad boring, rest was wonderful though. I must say though.. if the 2 films were to be watched in direct succession as they were meant to, it'd be even better. Consider the symmetry in the 2 movies.. at least the start and the end.. just great. 2nd best Tarantino there is after Pulp Fiction.
