It seems that everyone else likes KB2 - Ebert and Roeper gush about it, and the press has been generally positive. My wife and I went last week, and we were positively underwhelmed. There were some good fight scenes, although none as good as the first movie - and the dialog dragged. It really slowed down once Uma Thurman found Bill - at that point, the last act was like crawling through molasses - it just wouldn't end. The first movie was an excellent "B" movie - this one disappointed me as much as the final Matrix did. At least I'm not alone in this - Thomas Hibbs had the same reaction I did.
Now, if you want to see a good movie, run, don't walk, to The Alamo. This is a very well paced film - and historically accurate as well. It kept me interested far, far better than KB2 did. I'd recommend this film to anyone.
