In her discernible contempt, Elle stands (and kicks, and punches, and shoots, and swordfights) in some opposition to Beatrix, whose ferocity is less mean than resolute.

Consensus: Talkier and less action-packed than Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, nevertheless, delivers the goods for those expecting a satisfying conclusion to this two-parter.
Theatrical Release:23-04-2004
Synopsis: The second and final volume in Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series is another stylish, sprawling masterwork. VOLUME 2 picks up where the first film left off, as The Bride (Uma Thurman) resumes her... [More]

Reviews for Kill Bill Vol. 2
41 - 60 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
The Kill Bill films leave me cold. For all their technical interest, the films still feel like an arrogant "aren't I clever and neato?" showboating move.

If he doesn't take care Tarantino could make something significantly worse.

This part of the story peels away at the heart and emotions of its central characters.
05/08/04
Tries to be the "Ulysses" of exploitation films.
05/02/04
A less violent, less successful movie that would have balanced the first film's kinetic energy had it been shown as Tarantino originally intended: as an uninterrupted whole.
04/30/04
A gargantuanly entertaining double feature.

Top CriticIt exhilarates even as it maddens.

brings a genuinely surprising depth of feeling to the proceedings by filling in the emotional and narrative gaps left hanging in the first volume

At its best, [Tarantino's] referencing ... completely reimagin[es] the original for a new context. At its worst, it's simply name-dropping.

Finds Tarantino at the top of his rebel-rousing game, with both guns blazing and taking no prisoners.
04/24/04
... Kill Bill, Vol. 2 turns out to be exploitation dominated by speeches worthy of Shakespearean tragedy, punctuated with a few choice fight scenes.
04/23/04
People who stayed away from Vol. 1 because of its genre-dictated violence may find Vol. 2 so much fun that they'll want to catch up on Vol. 1.
04/22/04
In the killer moment, the Bride is buried alive and must think outside the box, as it were....[But] it's Tarantino who kills Bill, not with the sword, but with a lazy pen.
