Dominion (1988)
Why God why?
Why did this amazing totally mindblowing series only have to last for 2 acts spread over just over 2 hours? Just when it gets better and better and more emotional, they leave the story hanging and we have go refer to the bloody comic. That itself would have just about covered 1-2 more episodes. Is that too much to ask? Its hard to believe that the Japanese were making this in the late 80s while the other parts of the world were making childish nonsense? I think even though Ghost in the Shell is much more popular, the Tank Police are closer to Shirow's heart. The follow on series, Crusher Police or New Dominion Tank police, is no way in the same league.

Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
Not the better half
Lacks the style and action of the first volume and there should have been some warning that the second part would be absolutely nothing at all like the first part. Actually Tarantino did give a subtle warning but the first part can be greatly misleading. However this movie gets better every time you watch it. It more typical Tarantino fare when compared with the first half. The expected dialog is long and detailed. Most of the scenes and acting have been done flawlessly. However, had it had just one major, well choreographed fight scene at the very end, it would have so much better. The ending is thus quite disappointing. Overall, the first part, as a wild explosive party was just so much more fun and memorable.
