As I wrote before, the Vol. 1 has something to offer. As usuall, Tarantino only had seeds of good film making in his work, but in Vol. 1 a couple of those seeds were worth spending two hours looking for them. As I mentioned, I must have watched the final fight scene four times and did not get tired of it. For those few beautiful (and they WERE beautiful) moments I was willing to forgive the sin of tedium in the rest of the film.Some people warned me that Vol. 2 was nothing like that. And based on that I had my expectations turned down a notch.
Good thing I did. As that part truly has nothing to offer to make those two long hours rewarding. There is no flare in any of the many episodes, that move in front of you like seventy identical cars of a long train, as you are waiting at the railroad intersection... no points of interest, not even an empty flatbed to break the monotonicity of what is happening.
So booooooooring would be the word to best describe that work.
As usual in such cases, I am so glad I did not pay to watch it.
