This is a master piece of Tarantino's a Great movie for all martial Arts fans but the movie is so great becose Yuen-yoo-ping is the action director.

This movie is so good it makes me want 2 kill bill (munz that is).

Great movie. Vol. 1 provides the action, Vol. 2 provides the story. Amazing.

This was extremely satisfying. A fantastic ending to a great movie (That is Kill Bill, none of this Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 crap.). Excellent performances, even by Daryl Hannah, and Tarantino's always brilliant direction helped make this a fantastic conclusion.

Excruciatingly boring and dull movie. It's like someone dangling the carrot in front of you and you never quite reach it. This movie is completely over-rated. The only reason I didn't give this movie a 0 is for the Pai Mei scene -- worthy of a 2.

I felt like Kill Bill Vol. 1 was the actual movie and Vol. 2 contained the deleted scenes.

This movie can't get 10 because, like any movie, it just can't tie up every loose end. Apart from that minor comment, Kill Bill Vol. 2 is fantastic. The fight scenes are well crafted, and this time the plot and characterizations are improved. The power of this film is in how there is no good versus bad, none of your standard heroine meets hero and falls in love - this is just classic and original filmmaking. Great.… Expand

This certainly isn't the film that Vol. 1 is. Uma Thurman looks stunning and Darryl Hannah is a joy, but the David Carradine part is way, way too wordy and he isn't exactly easy on the eyes these days. Watch this on cable in a few months and don't waste money on a theatrical showing.

Vol. 1 was a crafty, witty, exciting, innovative, visual candy-type of movie. I've seen it criticized for being cartooney, which is exactly what it set out to be (and did magnificently, I might add.) Vol. 2 is drawn out, choppy and unintegrated. What happened to the purely evil Bill that was presented to us in Vol. 1? Was the truth serum really necessary? Did we need the Michael Madsen scene at the bar? Keep the coffin scene (improve it, though); keep the Pai Mai training (lengthen it); and by all means, keep the Darryl Hannah scenes (especially her spastic writhing scene and her eye removal, reminiscent of Blade Runner.); lose the rest.… Expand

It is nowhere as good as the first. the lines are a sheer waste of time. the action is comic. the pace is deadly slow. I struggled to stay awake the whole time.

Don't waste your time.

It passes the time.

An utter disappointment... the few decent action scenes dragged out by empty dialogue. A poor conclusion.

Hated It.

This movie dragged so long as if it was a cancer that just wouldn't quit. If it wasn't for Darryl Hannah, the movie would have been rated pg-13 (think about it)... the last scene with Bill should have been longer, especially since David Carradine played the role. If he's gonna make a comeback, add something that fans know him for - MARTIAL ARTS. You know when an action star is getting old when he can't even STAND during his fighting scene.… Expand

Simply excellent!

Splendid Cinema: ironical, coltish, dark and lucid at the same time, full of allusions but still inventive and with unforgettable settings.

Better than the first, but both of these films are simply overrated.

On balance quite a good movie. Occasionally I felt it was dragging it's feet. With a little tightening, both movies combined might be a better experience. I must admit Thurman was excellent, except for the hammy "tough guy" type lines - her delivery didn't quite work for me. Carradine was also very good. Some of the dialogue was forced, especially Darryl Hannah's - or am I missing the point? Their trailer fight was incredible, but could have done with a few more minutes. Speaking of dialogue, I would have to say Jackie Brown is his best work in that department. I do think Volume 2 is being over-rated by some. It didn't knock me between the eyes the way the first one did, which was certainly a "triumph of style over substance" (read that somewhere). I didn't find this one as memorable or as fun. Volume 1 also had one of the best soundtracks ever to grace a film. I'm still looking foward to seeing it again and hopefully I'll find more to enjoy. … Expand

All style no substance and very very slow-moving.

This movie blew donkey balls. Everyone is like, the dialog was so interesting and intelligent when in fact it was simply BORING. Just because it's Tarantino and slow moving doesn't make it automatically brilliant. This was a 45 minute movie drawn out to 2 hours. It attempted to be funny and succeeded to be just cheesy and it attempted to be deep and turned itself into a YAWN fest. What a miserable failure of a movie yet it seems that all the movie snobs are out in force about it.… Expand

Wow, this movie is unbelievable. I definitely could not have come up with a better ending to such an origanal plot. I contemplated much about the ending and seeing how it turned out, twice as good as my best thought, i was awe struck. I must also note that this movie is far less violent and serves to be more of a philosophical tale.

Splitting this movie in two is absolutely unforgivable. Both parts suffer when they are viewed separately!

This movie is symptomatic of Hollywood's current obsession with producing trilogies and serials. Like it's turgid, mind-numbing predecessor, it is simply half a movie. I'd rather pay to see a whole movie, thanks.

A great film! Better than Vol. 1 which placed 9th on my top ten list last year.

Not bad.

His best movie. my favorite movie. i want to spend the rest of my life with it.

Part 2 to me was very uneven in that it is slow/dull for parts then energized in some fight scenes, back to dull...thus i prefer part 1...overall ok but had expected more.

As a whole, better than reservoir dogs, not as good as pulp fiction. incredible movie. go see it, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely terrific. Couldn't have been happier with it.

I guess there's two types of people, the kind that liked the action of the first one, or the one's who prefer the languid pace of the second. I'm definitely the latter. As exciting as the first one was was, the blood turned me off eventually. After Vol. 1, how could Tarentino stage a final action scene to trump everything before. He doesn't, and gives us a surprisingly touching ending. I expected a fun but shallow movie, but I unexpectedly got a lot of heart instead. … Expand

Superior film. Light and heavy all at once. Fun.

Wow. That's pretty much what I was thinking as I walked out of the theater this afternoon. Now if you don't like to view scenes of violence in a film and if you've seen any of Quentin Tarantino's previous films (such as Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction) and didn't like them then you probably wouldn't like either Vol.1 or 2 of Kill Bill. On the other hand, if you do enjoy the type of movies that Tarantino makes you'll love this one. Everyone in this film is perfectly cast and the action scenes leave you with your mouth gaping open. Vol. 2 answers many questions that one may have been asking (and several that would've never even occurred to you) after viewing Vol. 1 although I'd say that even if you haven't seen the first Kill Bill movie the second one will still stand on it's own as there are enough references to what transpired in the previous film that you won't feel lost. Of course since Kill Bill Vol. 1 is now out on DVD I'd suggest renting it prior to seeing the second installment (if you haven't seen it already) just to get the full effect. Just as Pulp Fiction did for John Travolta, Samuel Jackson and Bruce Willis, I could easily see this movie reviving a few careers. I have to admit that I had no idea that Daryl Hannah could really act (which she does in a BIG way in this film) nor did I think that David Carradine could ever project the kind of bigger-than-life presence that he did as the title character. I could easily rant about this movie all day but I won't. Instead I'll just give it two thumbs and and two big toes up as high as I can get 'em and add Kill Bill to my top ten list of favorite films of all time. I plan on seeing it at least once more while it's still in theaters and won't hesitate to purchase the DVD when it comes available. … Expand

[***SPOILERS***] This movie was absolutely amazing. Although without Volume 1 would not be half as great as we all hold it. Speaking of Volume 1, Volume 2 makes 10 times better. Since everything is finally explained, this movie has absolute greatness. Although there was less action and more feeling in this one, it was still filled with the fights. Especially the showdown between The Bride and Elle. One of the greatest parts of the movie was the part about snatching Elle's eye, and when Elle says "I killed your master". It was genius. Overall I give Kill Bill Volume 2 a 10 because I thought it was amazing.… Expand

Vince H. says this is "one of the 10 best movies I've seen this year". I would say this is one of the 10 best movies (and top 5) I've seen in my entire life. And I've been watching movies from every single part of the world for my entire life... well, maybe I'm still under the whole Kill Bill effect, but how many movies have such a lasting effect on its viewers?!

9 Only because this movie should never have been split in two. Fantastic story of deep emotion and sweet revenge. Maybe because I'm fascinated by emotions and consequences, but that is what this movie is all about, and I'm all over that!

Excellent movie. After seeing it, I think it was a great idea to release the two separately. There is not a single scene that was out of place, making for a very entertaining movie, as well as enthralling end to a perfect saga. The acting is top notch, especially Carradine, who gives a chilling performance.

This movie was just "ok" and nothing more. Those expecting a movie as exciting and quirky-weird as the first will be disappointed. Sure the movie fills in the gaps of information behind who everyone is and their connections to each other, but do we really care? The first movie was a treat to all your senses. The second film just seemed to drag. That does not mean that Vol2 did not have some good parts to it. The Master was hilarious, the inability to unsheath the sword in the trailer was a riot! There was not enough action in this one...period. For all the hype surrounding how great Volume 2 is, and how it stands on its own, and how it is so much better than Volume 1...I was sorely let down when I actually saw it with my friends. Basically, don't go to Volume 2 expecting to be as thrilled and entertained as you were for Volume 1. Quentin could have done a better job by cutting down a lot of the unnecessary dialogue, and then taking Vol1 and vol2 - re-editting them to "spread out" the action, and then cut it into two movies. Some of the professional movie reviewers really leave me contemplating becoming one myself...just so I can inject some reliable commentary into the reviewing domain to balance out their uncanny ability to like what is terrible, and hate what is enjoyable. … Expand

Before anyone starts whining about the slow pace, the lack of action, and the fact that this movie "doesn't stand on it own", please consider the fact that the movie isn't meant to stand on its own at all. It, along with Vol.1 are meant to be viewed as a whole and if you're looking for some schlocky, bigger, gorier, more explosive sequel then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. I actually enjoyed the fact that Tarantino took the time to slow down and flesh out the brilliant characters of the first movie. The [conclusion (spoiler ommitted)], while anticlimactic to some, is much more appropriate than a knockdown-dragout slugfest that would have done nothing but cheapen the experience all together. Even though I don't think of this movie as a true sequel, I still wish that more sequel could be made in such a matter, instead of the idiotic, money-motivated, big budget, bigger and "better" crap that is released.… Expand

Replacing the non-linear, action-packed and bloody soaked fighting of the first film, Tarantino has dedicated this film to character moments and the best dialogue in years. We learn a lot more about Bud, Bill, and the Bride (whose name is finally received). If you go into this film expecting another Vol. 1, you will be dissapointed. The best way to enjoy this is to view it as a part of a whole. The dialogue alone is worth admission. Essentially the last hour of the film is just the Bride and Bill talking to each other...that's it. No action, nothing. The speech that Bill gives about the difference between Superman and Spiderman is arguably one of the finest pieces Tarantino has ever written and brilliant stuff. One of the 10 best movies I've seen this year.… Expand

[***SPOILERS***] This movie is better than anything else out right now, but that doesn't mean it's flawless! The first film and the second film of Kill Bill aren't even close to one another. After seeing the Bride kill the Crazy 88's, and such a big climax in the first one with Oren, killing Bill vol. 2 died with a whimper. The fight between the Bride and Driver was intense, but the only part worth mentioning for action. As for humor the old master was hilarious! Over all this movie has none of the flash or stylization of the first film! I would not recomend it unless you were a Tarantino fan... In the end it left a feeling of me saying "so what, that was pointless." I guess after seeing her cut through 60+ people the second film seemed pointless and less exciting. … Expand

One of the best times I've ever had at the movies.

After a director delivers a masterpiece such as the Kill Bill saga, a War movie (one of Tarantino?s next plan) sounds totally boring. Actually, after watching Kill Bill Vol. 2 every other movie sounds boring. It almost feels like cinema is over. Nothing can be more entertaining, thrilling, breathtaking and full of adrenaline as KILL BILL.

Utterly Incredible.

Quentin does not disappoint! David Carradine was great! The strip bar scene was mildly enjoyable, but I have to admit that it could've been cut, it didn't really reveal that much about Bud.

Brilliant. Sure, it's not as action-packed as the first film, but by slowing down the action, Tarantino has created the perfect complement to Vol. 1. It makes the work as a whole much more substantial than the original, putting it on the same level as QT's best work.

I have to wonder if the people that hated this movie so much have ever seen a Tarantino movie before. I didn't much care for the first movie but coupled together the two would have been a masterpiece. Vol 2., true to Tarantino in every way, is filled with memorable, cleverly overscripted dialogue and the acting is dry and cuting. Oh yeah, and the sound effects are unbelieveable.

Well Kill Bill is finally complete or so we think. Reason I say that is I heard Tarantino is already talking about making a third installment 15 years down the road. It will be about Vivica's daughter seeking revenge on Beatrix Kiddo aka the bride. He wants to use the same little girl for the movie so that's why it wouldn't be for another 15-20 years. We'll know after both volumes I'm just blown away by this masterpiece of film both vol.1 and vol.2 bring to the screen. Vol.2 is not nearly as action packed as the first volume, but you have to look at this as one movie people not a sequel. We have to learn more about the characters and their situations why they did this and that. There is action in the second volume and when there is action you feel it as if it were happening to you. Quentin is such a brilliant director and I will be very shocked if this movie does not win an oscar, actually I think it should sweep the oscars, and I will be in shock if it doesn't. Quentin is so underrated by some, they all think Speilberg, Howard, and way overrated George Lucas are the best out there, I don't think so. This movie alone would make him the best director out there. Plus having titles like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction which are two classics, man he is a genius. This film would probably be the best movie since Scarface and that's saying a lot, especially when you have excellent films like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction which are a couple more of my favorites. When you go see vol.2 make sure you're looking at this as one whole film cause there is a lot more dialogue in this film, not as much action as the beginning, but still be prepared to be blown away. It makes you want to watch all the old school martial arts flix. O and near the end of the movie if there are any wu-tang fans out there you'll hear the begining of the first song from the GZA cd liquid swords when the girl is telling the tale of the shogun assassain, which i thought was cool cause know i know what movie it came from. Alright enjoy the film and be prepared to be blown away and if you're not go watch films like the whole ten yards or some garbage like that. … Expand

Complete trash.

This movie is not like the first half. It has no action compared to the first one. It was a waste of time. A total of * people die in the movie, there's less than 2 minutes of any action and there's enough filler here to bore any person on the planet. They spend 15 minutes in a strip club, only to have nothing come of it. They explain the wedding massacre from the first movie only to pull away right as the fighting begins. Nothing is redeeming in this movie whatsoever. There are some good jokes, and what little action there is (2 fight scenes) is quite nice, but not enough to make up for 90 minutes of filler.… Expand

I am a big fan of George A. Romero?s zombie classics Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. The latter film is a fun action movie, it contains many great scares, gore galore, and has biting humor in a world where humor is dying with the dead civilization. The characters are also well developed and the film is focused primarily on four stranded refugees in a vast mall, the pinnacle of the 20th Century, while also creating many comic zombie fellows roaming the mall. Absent are the things that made Romero?s film a great horror-comedy achievement. The poorly shot and imprudently edited actions scenes are incomprehensible to a point where it is hard to tell what?s going on. There are far many more characters this time around, whose sole purpose is to get killed violently by the films climax. However, something did survive into this remake, and that?s the comedy. The film is terribly funny, making for something of an entertaining piece. What I especially liked about the much better zombie movie ?Return of the Living Dead? was that the characters lived in a world where zombie movies existed, especially Romero?s films. The characters, as dumb as they were at times knew that they were dealing with zombies. I note this because there is a scene when all the excess characters show up they wheel in a woman who is clearly about to turn into the dead, with her gray skin highlighting and her dying green veins becoming clearly noticeable. I was just thinking how dumb these people would have to be to let someone they knew would be turning into the mall. Note to everybody: when somebody is greyly pale with their veins popping out and the smell of death, don?t let them into your place of refugee. The direction is quite sophomoric and the screenplay is a serviceable homage to the original while coming up with some original tact and wit of its own, though it plays with the usual thoughts and clichés of most modern horror films. That being understood, the acting is quite serviceable for this kind of movie, with Ving Rhames spouting lines so intrepidly panicky they come off exceedingly humorous. The film feels terribly inspired by the far superior 28 Days Later, but not stealing anything that would have made a difference, like the anti-cliché of instant infection. Now we have zombies that are faster but just as dumb who can tip mobile vehicles that weigh several tons but are unable to break through a glass door. I didn?t wholly dislike this film, but I am curious as to why anybody would want to see this picture over Romero?s own classic. But a good comment I would like to say about it, it is far better than Tom Savini?s trite, inane, and ghastly Night of the Living Dead remake or even Romero?s own humdrum, flavorless, spendthrift, feeble Day of the Dead. But then again, that?s not much of an accomplishment either. … Expand

[***PLOT POINTS***] Kill Bill Vol. 2 3/5 The second installment of Kill Bill provides the background information about the first film. We see the Kung Fu training of the Bride, her wedding massacre and a buried-alive scene in a graveyard. Bill explains why the Bride was supposed to be killed off and the four year-old daughter of Bill and the Bride makes an appearance near the end. There are some funny moments but this episode is far more laid back and less interesting than the first one. If the first film was a 5/5, this slower one has to be only 3/5. Definitely not the exciting blockbuster that the first one was. Review by Triniman … Expand

Absolutely great! I now honestly believe that Quentin Tarantino is God! Once both volumes are combined to create the "Kill Bill Saga", it'll quite possibly be the coolest and most entertaining piece of filmmaking you'll ever see in your life. Ridiculously recommended!

Amazing film, great dialogue, and great action. Reminds me of why I ever started watching movies in the first place. Anybody who would say otherwise or recommend "The Whole Ten Yards" over Kill Bill needs to consider not watching movies ever.

Altogether not as good as Vol. 1. The first hour is as brilliant as any part of the first, but the second hour is dominated by dialogue. Wouldn't be a fault if it rang true, but Tarantino seems to want to hold our hand during Bill and The Bride's final exchanges. If you payed attention to Vol. 1, this is rather cloying as most of what goes on is rather self-explanatory given the quality of the acting. Quentin needs to trust himself and get better aquainted with the editing room (Or release both parts together).… Expand

Too much like some slow boring Western. Annoying dialogue. Style good. But not as good as Vol. 1. Actors wasted on deadpan post modern Western crap (yea I used the term PoMo - it fits this movie). Dated around late 80's, maybe 1991 at latest, therefore past its shelf life. 30 minutes too long. And the titty bar scene was so useless and so, so stoopid.

This movie is the best one I have seen all year.

A brilliant work of art by Tarantino; anyone who thinks otherwise, I truly feel sorry for - you'll never get it.

There's a major difference between unintentional stupidity and intentional artistic stupidity. This movie will get a lot of bad reviews because many can not tell the difference. If you don't like movies about movies. Skip this, cause it's a an ode to old b movies. Otherwise it's a must see. It doesn't have a great plot, it's not particularily intense, just perfectly directed, and filled to the brink with fun. A great gem of an action film that reminds me of the days when action films didn't have to suck.… Expand

Surprisingly sweet and ridiculously exciting film experience. Gorgeous cinematography and one of the most thoroughly exciting fight scenes I've ever seen on the big screen, this is definitely one to not miss.

Don't believe the hype. Go see The Whole Ten Yards instead...I nearly soiled myself watching it; Kill Bill made me want to sleep.

Have to see, great, don't miss, one of the best of this year. Personally one of my favorite movies.

When you go to see a Quentin Tarantino film, you best prepare yourself for one wild ride. Kill Bill is like nothing else out there today. Whether that is good or bad is up to the viewer... but the least one can do is give this movie a chance. In my humble opinion, Vol. 2 was well worth the wait. Proof positive that Hollywood can still be FUN.

Brilliant, Much Better then the first, and i loved the first, But this one took care of it in every single way.

If any movie, or pair of movies, deserves a perfect score, it's certainly this one (or these). I just saw both films for the first time -- at the ArcLight in Hollywood, the old CineramaDome (perfect sound, etc.) -- and was floored. The feeling I had upon leaving the theater was reminiscent of the feeling I had leaving Pulp Fiction, but I'd probably have to say that "Kill Bill" (hereinafter referring to Volumes 1 & 2 as a unit) is superior. And if you have a theater in your town playing both parts back-to-back, you MUST see them together. 9:30 show, Midnight show.... the time flew by. It's too late and I'm too tired to go into detail, but just go see the damned thing. I'm honestly dumbfounded by the comments of Danielle, Amber, Bob and anyone else that gives this film a freakin' "Zero." Personal animosity with QT??? Did your boyfriends break up with you after Jackie Brown?? Uma Thurman is incredibly solid in both films, but her character is developed so elegantly in the second part. Sonny Chiba, the Old Master, and the guy that played Jean Renault from "Twin Peaks" played brilliant supporting roles. I've actually been feeling sorry of late for some of these professional Metacritic critics for having to see so many rubbish films that the studios have been churning out since about 1999. Kill Bill is the gleaming gem amidst the riff-raff. You'd be a fool to miss this one.… Expand

Sucked the first time and it is no different the second time around. Uma is hot and can really chop and dice victims up nicely. That alone does not make this a good movie. A waste of time.

Kill Bill Volume 1 was one of the best movies I have seen, with the complexity and different theatrical elements brought in. It was a mixture of different types of movies, incorporating westerns, kung fu, and Italian mob scenes. However, the second one did not show the same artistry the fist one did, in that there was far too much dialogue. Carradine's final soliloquy, as well as much of his spoken role, was absolutely amazing. It is the other actors that I do not care to see giving long drawn out speeches. I would much rather see Uma Thurman demolish people with her sword than hear her talk.… Expand

Excellent Thriller.

Best movie eva.

Quentin Tarantino does it again.

Just simply the best.

Even the same as the first as it sucked then and continues to suck now. Hello this is one movie sold to suckers in two parts or weren't your reading what Quentin P.T. Barnum said about you? "If you divide it in half the fools will pay twice for the same crap."

Even better than the first.....if you can believe it!
