Kill Bill - Volume Two

Date undefined

I want to make it VERY clear, the three stars are NOT for the movie. Kill Bill, in my view, is one of the best movies ever made but this evaluation is for THIS Kill Bill Blu-ray release.

I am totally sold on Blu and, when the Kill Bill bundle became available... well... I ordered it when Amazon offered it at a great discount. The bundle includes Kill Bill 1 and 2 and, IF you wish to upgrade your KBs I highly recommend the bundle because you could save a few dollars. There is no difference between the 2 KBs sold as individual titles and them sold together other than, possibly, the price.

I wish I had a lot to say about the Blu-ray version but I don't so, let me say what is worth saying:

- The contents of the Blu-ray version are EXACTLY those of the DVD edition, nothing more, nothing less.
- Even the artwork is borrowed from the original DVD edition.
- The 'extras' are shot in low resolution, in fact they are the exact extras you will find on the DVD.
- The resolution of the movie is, of course, higher than the DVD's and the audio is available as 'uncompressed' but nothing special was done for the Blu issue. I noticed quite a few artifacts and some graininess but, overall, the picture quality is good. It could have been a lot better. I expect a remastered edition in the near future.

Overall, I am not very happy with this edition which appears to have been put together on the cheap and in a hurry. I suspect that the digital master used to make the DVDs was quickly converted to Blu and thrown out on the market but I could be wrong.

I am looking forward to a complete and professionally done Tarantino filmography on Blu in the near future, meaning that I'd be buying the Kill Bills three times.

On deciding whether to buy this release or not it should be up to one's budget. Those who don't have the DVD edition but have a Blu player, definitely buy the Blu, preferably the bundle because one never knows when a superior version may be released. If you already have the DVD... like I said, I bought my KB 1&2 package when Amazon offered it at a very significant discount.

If you turn your mind off and go along for the ride, there's plenty of Uma, mayhem, Uma, nicely-done fights, and Uma.

Plausibility? Well, not a lot. I suspended disbelief until my arms got tired, then the implausibility of the Holy Mother, loud noises that no one notices, and day to day use of a visible sword as fashion accessory kind of got to me. Cripes, does every cold-blooded, female killer in the world get all mushy over kids? And some of the guys, too? I almost expected to see the first ultrasound tattooed on someome's arm.

OK as airplane entertainment, as long as it's free and there's no way to get out of the plane. Missable otherwise.

Welcome to the incredible world of Blu-ray movies. Only to be completely appreciated with the sum of ALL necessary components to carry this technology off!!

My Qualifying Statement: I have a HD Home Theater weighing in at about $2000, plus movies. The breakdown; a Mitsubishi HD Projector (HC-1500) $800 (orig $1495)*see my review*, a Sony 5.1 Sound System (HT-SS2300) $399 (orig $499) and a Sony PLAYSTATION 3 game system with Blu-ray Player included $399 (orig $499) *see my review*. Sony High Speed HDMI cables $150 (orig $180) and HD Screen Paint and Kit $180 for my 108" viewing wall screen. With this True HD 1080p (1920x1080 lines) and 5.1 Dolby Cinema Sound (DCS)system I've assembled a HD Home Theater with sight and sound equal to an IMAX (on a smaller scale) presentation.

With this consideration and background information provided I can now comment on this Blu-ray version of "KILL BILL Volume 2". Presented in Full HD 1080p (1920x1080 lines) with DCS (5 speaker and a subwoofer) we can now completely enjoy Quentin Tarantino's genius in this complex action packed, well executed, perfectly cast, Directed and Written critically acclaimed masterpiece film saga.

THE MUSICAL SCORE IS AWESOME!!!!! Especially in 5.1!!!!!

This movie is pure eye candy and the Blu-ray clarity is incredible! The storyline is well orchestrated and has you cheering all the way!!

Volume 2 is the perfect Revenge film conclusion for this Epic Quentin Tarantino 2 part classic. The perfect cast; Uma Thurman is "THE BRIDE" (Ultimate Samurai Warrion). David Caradine is "BILL" (Perfect Villan). Michael Madsen is "BUD" (Bills brother - the only one Bill ever loved). Daryl Hannah is "ELLE" (the One Eye Viper).

BONUS FEATURES: Making of KILL BILL Volume 2 (26 mins) a must see prior to watching conclusion Volume 2. DAMONE (6 mins) great background snippet with BRIDE and BILL. Finally an outstanding musical set (11 mins) with "Chingon". Bonus material in 480p.

Bottomline: Remember the Blu-ray experience is HDMI (1080p) 5.1 Sound in a HD Home Theater (the bigger the screen the better). Enjoy. This KILL BILL Volume 1 and 2 are keepers with many encore performances to be had (I've already watched it 3 times in 7 days!!!)
