Kill Bill: Vol. 2 Reviews |
While “Volume 2” fails to match the intensity and action of part one, it is still an interesting film filled with the great characters and dialogue that sets Tarantino apart from his peers. That being said, while the film disappoints, it is still decent entertainment. [read review] C+
--Gareth Von Kallenbach (Lee's Movie Info)
Eagerly anticipated second ‘volume’ of Tarantino’s stylish, bloody, pulp revenge thriller – longer, more dialogue-heavy and with less cinematic flourishes than Volume 1, but still just about delivering the goods in terms of crowd-pleasing action sequences. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
The first "Kill Bill" was almost revolutionary in its wildness whereas the second volume is the unfinished business but without the creative anime and senseless massacres that made the first film so fun. "Kill Bill 2" is still an extraordinary product and a satisfying conclusion to the "Kill Bill" saga. That is, if it's really over. [read review]
--Scott Spicciati (Movie-Vault.com)
Volume 2 is not excellently paced, does boast an awesome style, and does not lead up to a kick-ass finale. However, there are some truly great scenes in this movie that are likely going to light up some audiences in applause and cheers. [read review] B+
--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
I liked this movie, but it didn't bowl me over as much as the first volume did, with a lot less action, less style and a few too many monologues to keep me entirely riveted in a tale that isn't exactly the "deepest" to begin with. [read review] 7/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
"Vol. 2" isn't anywhere near as self-indulgent as its predecessor, but it still plays like the work of a man too in love with his creations to decide which of his darlings to kill - so he ended up with merely a very good movie. [read review]
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
The pleasure derives not so much from what happens, but how. And how! Kill Bill: Vol. 2 bursts with energy and excitement and, as with any Tarantino project, movie love and homages swell the edges of every frame. [read review] 
--Marjorie Baumgarten (Austin Chronicle)
Though the movie's lack of violence - all told, moments of action add up to no more than 10 minutes - might turn off impatient viewers, Volume 2 is ultimately a far more rewarding experience than its predecessor. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
"Kill Bill 2" has the unmistakable quality of a story that has been lived entirely in a screening room, and its characters feel like people once-removed. The effect is a movie that seems Tarantinoesque. [read review] 
--Bruce Newman (San Jose Mercury News)
I found "Kill Bill Vol 2" to be almost unwatchable. I say "almost" because at the end of my showing the crowd cheered and I realized that there was actually an audience for this kind of nonsense. [read review] D+
--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
The thrill has been completely abandoned in Volume 2, which trades its buckets of crimson blood for pages of dry dialogue that explore the history of these characters but bring us nowhere new. [read review] 
--Sean O'Connell and Jeremiah Kipp (FilmCritic.com)
The action is toned down, but the drama and laughs are turned up in the incredible final chapter of the tale that enhances Tarantino's place as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. [read review] 
--Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
Tarantino's talent can be dizzying, and Uma Thurman and David Carradine have great chemistry. But all it adds up to is that Q.T. seems to revere every movie he's ever seen. [read review]
--Charles Taylor (Salon)
Ultra-cool and packed with emotion, the concluding half to Tarantino’s fourth film has a kind of magic that keeps you thinking about it long after it has ended. [read review] A
--Jennifer Alpeche (Lee's Movie Info)
If Vol 1 was a hell-blazing, dripping cool action piece, Vol 2 is a benign, subtle, character piece that delivers the heavy-bag without the punch. [read review]
--Derek May (MovieWeb)
Ultimately, "Kill Bill Vol. 2" is an astounding conclusion to Tarantino's epic tale, and Uma Thurman is nothing short of magnificent. [read review]
--Paul Clinton (CNN Showbiz)
While Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a decent film, it doesn't have what made Vol. 1 so much fun. It replaces action with more character drama. [read review] 6/10
-- (ComingSoon.net)
Unlike the first film, which is all finesse, Volume 2 is true grit- there's Texas style spitting and crotch kicking everywhere. [read review] 
--Mr. Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
"Vol. 2" isn't a conventional sequel or just the second part of the story, it's a whole different film that stands on its own. [read review]
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
Vol. 2 does so many things right that it's almost a shame that Tarantino didn't take out the more useless material. [read review] B+
--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
I enjoyed Kill Bill Volume 2 more than Volume 1. The second movie is less kinetic but more satisfying. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Not quite as good as 'Volume 1', but still, rarely is revenge served this cool, sweet and satisfying. [read review] 8/10
--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
