Kill Bill: Vol. 2

While Tarantino's famous fight sequences are grisly, funny and genuinely entertaining, his love scenes are so tender, so fraught, you fear for the safety of your own heart.

This is a movie of head-spinning richness.

Originally conceived as one film, the two-parter that has finally emerged can now be seen as a truly epic work.

Bout No. 2 is among the best closed-quarters screen fights ever, as good as (and longer than) Frank Sinatra vs. Henry Silva in The Manchurian Candidate. And Hannah does more for an eyepatch than anyone since the late Israeli defense minister Moshe Dayan.

So much cinematic majesty perched precariously atop so little common sense. But, hell, maybe Quentin's right; relax, enjoy -- a castle with a shaky foundation is still quite a sight.

Vol. 2 isn't exactly disappointing, and like all of Tarantino's movies, I suspect it will improve with repeated viewings. But for now, Vol. 2 leaves you pondering what could have been.

Watching Thurman's character "triumph" in a context as joyless and self-referential as Tarantino's is a soul-deadening experience, one that over two hours takes on the same dreary monotone as the cheapest pornography.

The storytelling is by far the very best part of Kill Bill, especially this 2nd one! This is why we love cinema in the first place

Definitely up its own ass - but has enough memorable sequences and dialogue to not hurt it too much.

Inferior sequel delivers some of the same style and infamous tarantino flare and yet comes across as more of an artistic cash grab than an inspired work. Can't help but feel the personal relationship between director and lead actor led to everything good and bad to be found in this movie! An interesting if flawed movie that ultimately serves up more of the same at a somewhat lower level of quality.

I feel as though Tarrantino's wasted his own and the actors talents. Unlike most of his movies the films talky scenes are boring and stupid. I loved the rest of his movies but Kill Bill vol 2 just ****.

Such a ridiculous movie, just like the first part: There were so many cheap situations, especially the fights.. Who cares about women "fighting"? Did you notice also how often people were saying how beautiful the main character was? I find her ugly btw. So these scenes were ridiculous for me also. The plot itself is unrealistic of course. Yes sure, a 50kg women is killing so many warriors, even male. Feminist fairy tale. Speaking of feminism. I like the revelation why Bill tried to Kill Beatrix. He did the right thing, he was the victim, not Beatrix.
