Vol. 2 concludes the tale, but it heads to the finish line with a casual stroll, not a sprint.

Theatrical Release:23-04-2004

Reviews for Kill Bill Vol. 2
181 - 200 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Tarantino has always been an inventive director, and in Kill Bill: Vol. 2 he's at his cinematic best, showing an ingenuity that nothing in his monster hit Pulp Fiction surpasses.
04/15/04
The whole is never more than the sum of its parts, no matter how well-crafted those parts are.
04/15/04
As emotional as Volume 1 was visceral. Quentin Tarantino's foot fetish finally pays off in the final gag of the Elle Driver fight.
04/15/04
What really makes Vol. 2 stand apart from the first film is the emotional depth of this half of the saga.
04/15/04
Kill Bill Vol. 2 is still pulp, but it is elegant pulp.
04/15/04
Tarantino shows more skill in this average movie than some directors could in their best work.
04/15/04
While Vol. 2 has its breathtaking moments, it is self-indulgent, unmemorable and almost completely uninvolving.
04/15/04
While Vol. 1 was energetic and entertaining, Vol. 2 is elegant and intelligent making the overall experience powerful and memorable.
04/15/04
A rip-roaring, highly entertaining, extremely enjoyable continuation to Vol. 1.
04/15/04
Top CriticAt times, you may find yourself wishing that Bill or the Bride would just shut up and kill somebody.
04/15/04
The second movie is less kinetic but more satisfying.
04/15/04
Kill Bill is silly stuff -- but it's transcendental silliness.
04/15/04
A powerhouse movie.
04/15/04
Kill Bill, Vol. 2 is every bit as wild a joyride as its prelude, but packed with richer, more resonant characters.
04/15/04
Vol. 2 is the most sheerly enjoyable movie I've seen in ages, allowing for all the intimacy that was missing from its predecessor.
04/15/04
For those seeking the vibrant innovation of Tarantino's first movies or the sheer rush of Kill Bill, Vol. 1, Vol. 2 feels like a dulled blade.
04/15/04
While Tarantino has toned down the action scenes, the way he films them can still surprise.
04/15/04
Is this what we were waiting for? Now we know why Miramax took a Hattori Hanzi sword to Quentin Tarantino's latest production and divided it in two.
04/15/04
It takes a movie like “Kill Bill Vol.2” to serve as a reminder that movies should be entertaining, even as perversely entertaining as this ode to Kung-Fu theater.
