My key memories of that film were of certain of the more violent scenes. I walked into Kill Bill 2 expecting more of the same - and came out very pleasantly surprised. There are still some memorable scenes of violence, but the emphasis is more on character development, and building the tension between certain of these characters. I walked out thinking more along the lines of 'Why did this person change their behavior and way of life' rather than 'Wow, what an inventive way of portraying someone being killed.' Because there are fewer characters and storylines than in Pulp Fiction or KB1, it is easier to build a much more cohesive and solid story - it all gels together very well.
