I found this film easier to watch as it had more of a focus on the dialogue of the film than the action sequences and it just seemed paced better. I still wasn't feeling too involved with the characters and was a bit ambivalent to the story probably because of its odd comic tone but i nevertheless enjoyed this film more.

Kill Bill Vol2 is not nearly as imaginative or fun as the original. It does have some good moments, but the "big" fight between Bill and the Bride was sorely a let down and the movie itself drags on for way too long. We do get some good backKill Bill Vol2 is not nearly as imaginative or fun as the original. It does have some good moments, but the "big" fight between Bill and the Bride was sorely a let down and the movie itself drags on for way too long. We do get some good back story about the bride and how she killed Bill's other members. There are some good dialogue and a few good action scenes. But, the movie takes too long to get the end and by the end, there is not a lot left to care about. Why spend this much time building up to what was basically a revenge plot? I used to own these movies because people thought I would love them. I don't, but i know they are not bad movies either. I did like the first volume a lot better because of the throw back to old Asian action movies. Vol. 1 was innovative and fun. It was short on story, and character, but it was fun. This movie takes out the fun and imaginative points of the first one and instead gives us a drawn out too long wanna-be spaghetti western (you are better off with the Clint Eastwood man with no name trilogy), but it is good if you are a Tarantino fan.
This is not a bad movie by a long shot, but for me, it was a big disappointment.… Expand

The issue with this film is that i liked the vol.1 so much that I think this part doesn't live up to it's expectacions. Tarantino's "worst" or least good movie.

Everything in the movie seems out of place right down the over exaggerated action scenes to the terrible story.

Slightly cleaner and organized than its prequel, but nevertheless its a messy film.

I feel the same way about Kill Bill Vol. 2 as i did the first. Again no big deal with solid acting and slightly better action scenes. The ending though is way overdone. Please just Kill Bill already.

By going more in depth into "The Bride" 's story, Tarantino sacrificed what made the first part that good.

Similar to "Kill Bill Vol.1" I expected more tension and dialogues like from Tarantino's earlier and later movies.

I really didn't like this movie that much. It was entertaining at times but there are lots of better martial art flicks. This movie doesn't deserve to be on imdb's top 250 and neither does the first. Quentin Tarantino is not a genius he's just a guy with a sick mind who shows it to everyone. People may call him artistic I say he's full of sh*t. Any artist could just take a canvas and randomly start painting crap that's completely orignal on it people may like it but I say a real artist takes time to work on the details and everything.… Expand

In this film, the second of two, the bride gets her revenge against Bill, the groom who nearly killed her in the day of their wedding. Directed and written by Quentin Tarantino, the film stars Uma Thurman and David Carradine.

This movie isIn this film, the second of two, the bride gets her revenge against Bill, the groom who nearly killed her in the day of their wedding. Directed and written by Quentin Tarantino, the film stars Uma Thurman and David Carradine.

This movie is the sequel of "Kill Bill (Vol. 1)", so the criticism I made for the first film almost fit perfectly in this second film. Tarantino thought both films as one. And I start by saying that I like some of the films that Tarantino has done, but I believe that Kill Bill was one of the worst of his career as a director.

The film deserves applause for the performance of the actors, the good soundtrack and the good special, visual and sound effects. The main problem of this film is the non-linear narrative. It was a negative option because it makes everything more confusing than ever would be normally. Yes, because this movie is confusing and mixes film and filmmaking styles that have no apparent connection (it's rare to see a Japanese martial arts film with logical connection to the universe of American western). As I said to the first film, a person who knows nothing about this movie and never read anything about it, don't understand it. Luckily, this film can, after all, to frame the events in a more logical way than the first film, where scenes seem much more isolated from each other.

The film's screenplay is interesting, although it has been virtually copied from another movie ( "Lady Snowblood"). But despite the basic idea is good (the bride betrayed by her groom, abandoned at the altar and nearly murdered in his own marriage), the way the film develops that is quite negative. The film does not explain Bill's reasons to kill the bride, which makes the situation seem far- fetched. On the other hand, the seemingly random way the film shows action scenes, western, or martial arts makes everything with a very forced and unreal appearance. Fans can say that its a satire, a tribute... say what they want. The film is still poor and far- fetched at the expense of those bad choices of the director.… Expand

Μόνο η μουσική και οι ερμηνείες αξίζουν. Αυτή την ταινία όπως και την πρώτη τις θεωρώ πολύ υπερεκτιμημένες και δεν καταλαβαίνω γιατί τόσος ντόρος. Πολύ κακό για το τίποτα. Μια βλακεία και μισή. Όχι ότι οι άλλες του Ταραντίνο είναι καλύτερες, αλλά κι αυτή δεν πάει πίσω, τα ίδια χάλια.. Εν ολίγοις, πρόκειται για μια κάτω του μετρίου ταινία, μη χάνετε τον χρόνο σας με τέτοια σκουπίδια.… Expand

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 sucks.

Granted, the action, though rare, is fantastically over the top, but the long close-ups, the 10 minute spans of silence while NOTHING happens, all of those "Tarantino-isms" just get tiresome after a while. These could have EASILY been abridged and combined into a single, 2-hour film, but it seems we got the "Director's Cut" by default, and ultimately it ends up being a waste of time and money. I gotta sit through 3 hours of paper-thin plot spread out over TWO films just to see a half-hour's worth of action? That sucks! I AM a fan of Quentin's work, but this is mostly just self-indulgent "look how much time I wasted watching old, BETTER samurai flicks." Worth a rental, but after rewinding back over the action a few times, you've seen all you need to.… Expand

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.… Expand

"I'll just crawl over here and die now."

Another bomb from plagiarism king Quentin Tarantino. If you're going to steal from other movies, why not steal the good scenes and write around them?

It is hard to believe the good reviews this pretty but shallow teenage wet dream has had. This script is hackneyed and trite, the imagery no better than second rate comics, and the outcomes as predictable as **** A total yawn..
