Yeah.. if you couldn't see that's how Bill was going to die then you are pretty oblivious.
It's not that we saw it coming, it's just how it happened. You have four hours of story, based on hardcore fight scenes, and then at the end of the film, the climax, there isn't much of a fight scene at all. It just felt like a tottally differen't film.
It was obvious how he was going to die, but a good kind of obvious. I just thought that it would be done in a different way. Like, I thought maybe it would get down to them really fighting it out and then Bill knocking her sword away, leaving her empty handed. Then right before it looks like he kills her, he almost just can't do it. In that one moment, that split second of doubt in Bill, she then reaches up with her bare hands and THEN pulls off that move to take him out, then we have the same type of dialogue between the two after she pulls off that move.
I loved it though, 9/10, and a better film overall than the first. It just felt like a more tight and put together film. Then again, that's obvious also, seeing how this one was the conclusion of the story. I can't wait to view this as an entire film, because it'll be one hell of a four hour movie. Action, emotions, blood, great characters, it'll be a great watch when you can do so in one single sitting, without the break.
I can't wait for them to put the two together.
