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

Esta mejor que la uno, la historia se arma como un rompecabezas, la uno te deja muchas dudas y la dos te las resuelve y quedas satisfecho.
Aun así, aunque tenga buena historia, la acción esta un poco aburrida y le falta lo característico de Quentin Tarantino... el gore.
Pero se lo perdone por que aun así hay partes emocionantes como cuando pelea con bill sentados los dos en sillas.
Mejor que la uno: en definitiva.
Recomendadisima.

Kill Bill Volume 2 completes the story. 2 part contains less action, and more reveals the story. It is more thoughtful and contains memorable scenes. An excellent finale of the story, although the 3 part is in production.

"Vol. 2" slightly etches out "Vol. 1" because I found its dialogue more magical than its radical style and it works better with having "Vol. 1"'s events kept as a mystery while it quickly recaps those events in its introduction.
 Honestly though, you shouldn't just see "Vol. 2" and call it quits. The two films are inseparable and play up each other's strengths to create a synergetic piece of adoring fiction. Expand

On the other hand it is neither amazing nor as good as part 1 and maybe some parts drag on for to long. This might sound to negative as it also has its highlights, amazing scenes and a satisfying climax. Part 2 itself is again a mixture from revenge drama, martial arts movie (eastern), action movie, samurai drama and (spaghetti) western. It continues were the last movie ended. The bride has still 2 targets on her list before she can finally end everything with Bill. Short setup but also easier said than done as the targets are knowing she will come for them and are prepared. There are a few things that drag down my rating. One complain is that the fight scenes are not amazing enough. Again I repeat these are not bad but I expected more especially since the last movie set the bars higher. Something can be both good and a disappointment at the same time. Some parts of the movie are weaker and drag on for to long. I must remind that I have nothing against setting up characters even less if it is done in the show not tell style (One of the basic rules for movies). I think it misses the last push to wow me. There are however many good parts like the humor, good dialogues and the climax which is a good example how to subvert expectations in an awesome way. I like the flashbacks that gave more backstory and characterization to the characters and Pai Mei is just to enjoyable and awesome to not praise. Again the characters deliver a great performance without missteps. Uma Thurman as the bride is perfectly cast for this role and I say this is a flawless performance. David Carradine as Bill is such an interesting character and an antagonist you like. Gordon Liu as Pai Mei is the secret star of the movie. Michael Madsen does a great performance but is wasted at the end. Such a disappointment like getting a cake and drop it to the dirty floor before you had a chance to eat it. Lastly Daryl Hannah as Elle Driver again delivers. She is truly evil and an antagonist you love to hate. For the style, visuals and dialogue I praise Quentin Tarantino. You see clearly his effort and heart and soul put into the movie. It pains me not to give a higher rating for this reason. Overall I gave my final statement already at the beginning. It is a good movie not a great one. It delivers but does not shine or wow me. It is definitely worth watching because of the highlights but can be a disappointment too. Expand

That being said they are two completely different films. Where the first one was a bad ass martial arts spectacular. This one is more story driven, comedic and western. Wi th h that said it's still a great movie. Picking up after the events of the first we witness the battles between the bride and elle as well as Budd and finally Bill. There are some surprising twists along the way as well as some insanely fun sequences. But for all the build up it ends up feeling a touch lackluster especially after the events of the first. I can definitely see what he was going for and I feel th ed film us mostly successful it just needed a touch more punch.

Budget: $30M
Box Office: $152.3M

While Vol 1's story felt very shallow, Vol 2Vol 2 has the colossal task of following up Vol 1, which was full of top tier action sequences. This half of Kill Bill instead is a lot more focused on the trademark Tarantino dialogue and drama. While Vol 1's story felt very shallow, Vol 2 instead expands the depth of the story significantly but does so at the expense of the action that made me fall in love with Vol 1.

Vol 2 is likewise much harder to act as a stand-alone than Vol 1 (as could be expected) since things pick up in media res and a lot of the storylines in this film are dependent on one being familiar with the first one. This is a good choice by Tarantino as it helps justify that these two films are in reality one super-long film.

While some people enjoy the sharp contrast between the contents of Vol 1 and Vol 2, I happen to find Vol 2 lacking as a result. Expecting another action-packed joyride, I was slightly disappointed to find a more dialogue and plot heavy part 2. That is not to say that the dialogue, writing, acting, or direction in Vol 2 is worse or better than Vol 1, it's just different. Vol 2 gives Thurman a better opportunity to showcase her talents as an actress, but that is compromised with the fact that this film is a bit more sleepy than Vol 1.

In addition to Thurman, the acting of David Carradine is fantastic as he plays one of the most convincing cinematic villains in recent memory. He is a complex villain that torn between the past and present and is forced to make a decision with which one he should align himself with. The performances of Madsen and Hannah also add to this film's incredible cast and villains.

Volume 2 gives its actors a better chance to showcase their opportunities, but with that increase in opportunity comes a decrease in the action that made Vol 1 such an amazing film. The gore gets turned down slightly in this one in the sense that there is less of it, but the action that is present is still amazing. The reason that this one comes up slightly short of its predecessor is that Vol 1 was simply iconic while this one fails to have any super memorable scenes that I haven't seen anywhere else. Certain moments come close, but I feel that Vol 1 is overall the better made and more memorable film, however it is quite close between the two.

Overall, Vol 2 is a satisfying conclusion to the two part Kill Bill storyline and gives Thurman a chance to really shine. The action is a bit lacking, but this is made up for by superior writing, dialogue, and plot elements not found in Vol 1. This film is a must watch if you enjoyed Vol 1 or if you desired less action and more drama in the first installment.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think Kill Bill Vol. 1 had more action, more popular music themes and better fight sequences, although it lacked on emotion and plot. Vol. ll looked like a complete film, comparing to the first, that looked like we just watched the 1/4 of the movie. Nevermind, Tarantino has succeded in creating a masterful story with a few but interesting characters, amazing fight scenes (my personal favorite was Beatrix vs Elle fight), beautiful music themes, badass action sequences and... l am still waiting for a 3rd movie to come in theaters. All in all, I loved it, even if l still find Vol. 1 more enjoyable and entertaining. Expand

The end of the line, no more circles, no more juggling, this circus show has a speech for its last act.

Kill Bill Vol. 2

Tarantino's second and final volume of this gore-y tape is a profound quest for balance. I cannot emphasize more on how beautifully does this satisfying sequel carries the first one. If you were a bit squeamish in your first time, you will feel safe and more importantly enjoy this time- I'm talking about the film, The Film- with a neater narration in the driver's seat. Although I'd say that the writer and director Quentin Tarantino seemed a bit insecure about this volume. For he had kept all the cards hidden for this round. And hence, it could grow hefty for the viewers. But then you should never complain for too much substance.

For stylizing all the choreography on the other hand is Uma Thurman. By this half, she has sunken her teeth well enough to scare you. Her underrated performance knocks you down not by those one liners- never by them, in fact- or cool action tricks but sorrow and regret in her eyes, in her revenge when she claims it. That baffling response is surprising and human, tricking us into believing her. The film also covers the training of Thurman's character which focuses on balancing the emotions.

But I think it is the humble nature, the admiration that these so called "bad guys" have for the protagonist and the situation they find themselves in, is the actual nail in the coffin. Every kill, ever body that Thurman redeems tales something from her and us, and in order to portray that, Tarantino never rushes out the event. The calmness that these characters hold amidst the swooshing and whooshing of the cameras, never makes zero sense. The family in Kill Bill Vol. 2 that she returns to, that she is a part of, is familiar to us.

It's definately good for a sequel, but not better (not even equal) with epic Vol. 1. Vol. 1 was archetype (like the manga anime sequence idea), more impressive, visually striking, more interesting, it contained cool music tracks, it was faster, more fun to watch, action-packed, more frantic, the choreography of the fights and the cinematography were fantastic and last but not least, Uma Thurman's performance was better in 1. I can find more positive things in 1 rather than 2. Vol. 2 was a bit predictable and the dialogue scenes were boring and tiring. Also, I definately loved the vengeful and ruthless Bride, not Beatrix Kiddo's sensitive character driven by emotions. Also, Bill (David Carradine) really broke my nerves for some reason, he was an annoying character. The good points of this film was the whole chapter 8, the fight between Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah and the music tracks. It looks more than drama/adventure rather than action film. It reminds mostly a western film rather than samurai. Overall, it was ok and decent but comparing to Vol. 1, I think it lacks visually beauty, action and suspence. 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 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.

So before reading this, I consider Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 as one long epic. Quentin Tarantino's first attempt at an R rated blood spectacle went very well. I consider this movie after Pulp Fiction to be Quentin's best work. And the passion he has for directing shows in this awesome long movie. 4 hours of developed story and well choreographed action scenes. Quentin has such a unique style which I like so very much. I don't see why anyone (except for the Romance lovers out there) wouldn't like this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kill Bill Volume 2 is the second half of the adventurous and fun Kill Bill series. The humor(comedy) of this franchise is gone, the adventure is partly decreased, and the tone becomes more serious. It however makes up for it and we learn what the bride's name is, how the massacre is fully explained, and more character development for Budd, Elle, and Bill. It is really great and reveals shocking and interesting things we didn't know about in Volume 1. Amazing! Expand

There’re even some unclear motivations of some of the characters that they apparently forgot to clear out. But it got way more character depth — and it sure is an action-packed and bloody, & perhaps (for some) too bloody film. But it sure is a wild one!

It's hard to believe that Kill Bill was intended to be one big movie, because Volume 2 feels like a completely different film. There's less action and more backstory, character and emotion.

And despite my love for the crazy violence of Volume 1, all those things I mentioned that Vol. 2 exceeds are more important to making a great film in my personal opinion. And Tarantino manages to make this an emotionally memorable experience that I think exceeds the first film, with it's intricate style, characters and story. Nothing particularly original happens in this revenge, but it's done so well that it really doesn't matter.

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.

When the action does come on it is either way too goofy or shallow and lacking in bite. Even when the action is fun it doesn’t come close to matching the climax of the first film.

In addition, the omages to samurai and spaghetti westerns is perfectly done (and is almost done comedically too). In addition, this film does a better job than the first at providing depth to the characters and figuring out events that we simply saw glimpses of in Volume 1. The acting is also really good, especially Thurman and David Carradine. Michael Madsen also turned in a solid supporting role. However, the best thing this film provides is entertainment. Like its predecessor, this one is endlessly entertaining.

In terms of the script, it is admittedly incredibly cheesy. At times, I caught myself thinking, "Really? They put that in?", but as it is undoubtedly intentionally bad, it is not really a major knock against this one. Also, my more major knock is the ending. It is very...unsatisfying and anticlimactic. We're waiting for this moment the whole time and then...ok? I just wish that the ending was more of what the film was seemingly leading up to, rather than a detour from that script.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When looking at Kill Bill: Volume 1, you look for a fun action movie, a stylistic revenge flick. You get that in Volume 2 as well, but the dramatic leanings of the film are much more evident. To take Volume 2 asa great movie is something that is easier to do than Volume 1, and it works. The highlight of the film, by a wide margin, was the finale scenes with Beatrix and Bill talking, their short battle, and coming to terms with Bill's death. David Carradine's acting was superb, and I fail to see how he was not nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor the year this film was released. A great movie, plain and simple. Expand

Where volume 1 is purely action-driven with a lot of uncensored blood & gore, this one is the opposite. The first volume had some excellent scenes and fantastic direction, but lacked depth in its story. Volume 2 provides this backing, and does it in an immersive way. Every moment feels like it was expertly directed and put together. There is perhaps only one or two moments of actual violence in this film, the rest is purely story and character driven. However, the beauty of it is that there's not a single minute where you're bored and wishing for more of the brutal combat shown in volume 1. There are a lot of subtle but powerful messages in this film, and in my opinion more than make up for the lack of action. The fact that all the action is in volume 1 and the story in volume 2 actually makes the film more unique in my opinion, rather than having a generic mix of the two. I think this film is passable stand-alone, but you need to have seen volume 1 to appreciate it more and understand why there isn't much action in it. Overall, a must-see if you have watched Kill Bill Volume 1 and want to know more about the story. Expand

Right off the mark, we need to remember that this is a continuation, that these two films were supposed to be one, so to recap, The Bride (Uma Thurman) is on a revenge mission to hunt out those who betrayed her, former colleagues of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, led by Bill (Dennis Carradine).
This time around we meet Budd (Michael Madsen) who is now living in a trashed out trailer and getting by as a bouncer, until The Bride shows up. We are also reintroduced to Elle Driver, the one-eyed assassin from the previous instalment, with a much bigger part to play this time around.
Volume 2 confidently ties up all the loose ends of the first outing, the story is broader in scope to allow more of a human touch to the colourful proceedings, but still using past films to capture the true nature of the story.
While not as violent as the original, there is much more dialogue in Volume 2, the fact that the whole 'saga' is in fact one film shows true balance to the story, The Bride at first is full of hatred and revenge, but now realises she has almost reached the end of the road, and this makes for much more interesting and intriguing scenes with The Bride and of course, Bill.
Quentin Tarantino has now proved his ability to tell a compelling story through various body movements and the art of filmmaking and creating the perfect scene to capture that one defining moment, and that is where the cinematography exceeds in every level in this film.
Uma Thurman delivers another driven performance as The Bride, and yes, her real name is revealed in the film. Her continuing motivation to capture the essence of a character is what makes her a suitable lead, something which will always leave a lasting effect. Dennis Carradine is typically charming yet deadly as Bill, his references to comic books and how superheroes reflect human nature is genius, and shows the powerful dialogue that Tarantino can create.
The action scenes still do exist, while not is colourful, they are certainly memorable and beautiful to watch.
my advice is to sit and watch these two films as a whole, and to receive a true masterclass in filmmaking and how to put across a simple story for everyone else to be interested in.

(NOTE: This review covers only Vol. 2 of the Kill Bill Saga. For Vol. 1, see my profile page. For a complete overall score on the entire Kill Bill saga, see after this review)
Part 2 of this elaborate revenge, murder rampage concentrates more on the actual plot and less on the violence. Is that good thing? No, not at all. The violence and fighting sequences as well as the unique blend of Asian cinema homages and cinematography are what actually kept Vol. 1 above 5/10 for me. However, for Vol. 2, the homages and unique style of Vol. 1 is almost completely non-existent (no, the training segment with Pai Mei does not qualify to a homage as its cliche' as hell and has been done hundreds of times in modern films), the action sequences are reduces to a few disappointing minutes, the actual movie itself is set in some of the most bland locales (as opposed to exotic locations of Vol. 1), and the characters...you just dont care anymore. The new characters dont really bring much to the table and are all uninspiring to the point of mediocrity. You can almost feel that Thurman herself as a character is losing steam as opposed to her great portrayal in Vol.1. And finally, they decided to focus on the plot, the weakest aspect of the entire saga. Well, I guess they have to. Imagine Transformers with barely any cool fight sequences and have Shia Lebouf and Optimus Prime talk for most of the film. This is like Vol. 2 - instead of more violent sequences in the unique style and soundtrack as pinpointed by Vol. 1, Vol. 2 decided to just throw all that in the bin and opted for a more quiet and ultimately, more lacking concluding film which, while wraps up Kiddo's tale (the final 'boss fight' just feels disjointed and lacks tension), is at the end of the day, becomes a cliche' drama rather than an action thriller. Dont watch this on drunk nights like Vol. 1, instead just read the wikipedia plot section. You're not missing anything by not watching it. Throwing away the elements which made Part 1 fun, Vol. 2 of Kill Bill is a mediocre, disappointing conclusion that feel like a Samurai warrior who basically used up all his strength for the first half of the fight while for the second half, decides to use a gun instead to finish his opponent. OVERALL: With Vol. 1 and 2 taken into considerable, Kill Bill feels disjointed with dramatic shifts to pace that just feels unnatural. Decent fight sequences, coupled with unique film styles and homages to Asian cinema make the first half of the saga enjoyable if you're feeling a little bloodlustful wheras you may be disappointed at the ending and concluding hour where the pace slackens and action is thrown out the window. Kill Bill as a whole with Vol. 1 and 2 combined receives a 6/10. A decent, intriguing piece of cinema that will divide audiences and is ultimately an enjoyable thriller for those after something more raw and intimate.

Vol. 2 allowed him to prove that he is also a master of character development and affecting drama. Uma Thurman once again impressesKill Bill: Vol. 1 allowed Quentin Tarantino to show off his panache for crafting thrilling and stylish action. Vol. 2 allowed him to prove that he is also a master of character development and affecting drama. Uma Thurman once again impresses as The Bride, and this time her character is allowed to become a real human being driven by emotions beyond those connected to a desire for revenge. Michael Madsen also makes his mark as Budd, Bill's brother and another former assassin on The Bride's kill list, who is long past his best and quite understanding of her need to kill him and his former associates, proclaiming with a hint of remorse "That woman deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die". Fittingly, seeing as he's the titular character and primary antagonist of this two-part epic, the late David Carradine's Bill is utterly mesmerising. He completely embodies the enigma and contradictions of his character - a caring father and also a violent mercenary, a philosophical big-thinker but also heavily reliant on animalistic instinct, a stoic outward appearance but not above crude insults. He's a superb character creation of Tarantino's, and is easily one of the best, most terrifying, interesting and layered movie villains of all time. While the story is enthralling throughout, where the film reaches its true potential is with the final act. You'd be forgiven for expecting an extravagant final battle, blade-to-blade between The Bride and Bill, as that's what we've been lead to believe we've been building to. What Tarantino gives us instead is a taught, tense and sublimely written final conversation between the two characters. The result is a far more original, intelligent and satisfying conclusion to this incredible revenge saga. With the first volume of Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino managed to make lowbrow filmmaking respectable; with Vol. 2, through accomplished direction, a brilliant cast and flawless craftsmanship, Tarantino elevates trash to high art.

A true masterpiece. Expand

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.

Amazing movie, director and actors. All the characters are interresting, the action scenes are awesome, and Taratino knows how to surprises the viewer. A reference.

It is the perfect culmination of the two films. The first film acted as a great origins film looking back on what brought The Bride to where she was when she started her quest for vengeance but it had its flaws (ultra violence only works in small quantities, just ask Total Recall). Kill Bill Vol 2 works with what the 1st volume had already established but rounded out the remaining targets as well as The Bride herself. The emulation of classic Kung Fu films further accentuated the characters and there admiration for the art. In the 1st volume that was something only touched on briefly and most characters suffered because they were not properly build with O-Ren Ishii being nothing more than a mob boss. Volume 2 shows Bill to be both a complex character with multiple urges and desires but also a extremely childish character who is incredibly impulsive. Yet again Tarrantino's script is so nuanced and detailed that every conversation comes off as real in a film that even embraces the cheese of vintage Kung Fu movies (fast zoom and all). Despite the fact that the film had a problem with momentum there was never a moment when I wasn't completely encapsulated in what was happening on screen with the Pai Mei scenes being extremely riviting despite serving very little purpose. The main draw however was understanding these characters, what drives them, why they need what they need. Daryl Hannah's Elle is one such character whose seething hatred of The Bride would seem like petty jealousy if you had only seen the 1st film but there is so much more to it and this film succeeds in every aspect of character. If there is anything wrong with this film it would be Budd's section (not that there is anything wrong with Michael Madsen) because there were scenes that just served no purpose at all, not even a little and yet were shoehorned in to give Madsen something to do. The finale of the film is both riveting and deeply emotional with everything that had been set up by the final moments of Volume 1 culminating beautifully and the final scene with The Bride (whose name is revealed) on the bathroom floor just describes how detailed this film really is. A masterpiece in every sense of the word. Also, who knew making sandwiches could be so captivating. Expand

So that you don't get the wrong idea, Kill Bill was not made into two movies to maximize profits. The length of the movie if combined was longer then anticipated. The "over the topness" of the movie is purposeful, creating a homage of old Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese Chanbara films, exploitation films and spaghetti westerns. Tarantino captures both visual and audial senses of the viewers with the amazing soundtrack to great camera work! Though some may say it had a shallow plot, it was the story of the bride that really held me down in my chair. I can proudly say Kill Bill Vol.1 and Kill Bill Vol.2 are my favourite movies. Expand

If, in 'Kill Bill Vol. 1', Quentin Tarantino made one of the best
movies for people who love Japanese grindhouse, then in 'Vol. 2' he
made one of the best movies for people who love movies. Tarantino has
consistently been my favorite director and 'Kill Bill Vol. 2' is the
greatest of all his films to date. This isn't a sequel to 'Vol. 1', as
he didn't decide to split 'Kill Bill' up until just after he finished
shooting, it's simply the second half. 'Vol. 1' is an excellent,
excellent film, but no where in the range of this one. I grin
ear-to-ear all the way through this movie.

'Vol. 2' is Quentin's most visually beautiful movie yet (and the
magnificent opening chapter, shot in gleaming black-and-white, is
resplendent to a degree that is profound, as is the great sequence at
Pai Mei's ancient abode, shot in gloriously seventies-style
over-saturated greens and glaring whites), and it's where his flair for
spaghetti-Westerns comes out the most. As in all of Tarantino's films,
the dialogue is an unadulterated joy.

This is nearly his least violent (and actually also almost his least
talkative) film yet, and I've read both the original script and David
Carradine's 'The Kill Bill Diaries', about all he saw of the making of
the movies, and it's clear that many of Quentin's best decisions had to
do with diminishing or removing the action. In place of the more
obvious strategy of showing us a detailed sequence of the Deadly Viper
Assassination Squad gruesomely gunning down the people in the chapel,
he decided no, pull back and let us just listen to a brief event from a
distance, observing it in a kind of silhouette. And in place of Bill
firing a warning shot at the Bride and holding her at gun-point while
she walks towards a couch to seat herself, he decided Bill simply
regards her casually, his pistol just visible at his waist, of which
they are both aware. In the earlier idea, all suspense would have been
spent with the warning shot. When Bill relates the tale of Pai Mei to
the Bride, he decided it would be more effective to let us use our
imaginations while listening to Bill's ponderous speech by the
camp-fire in the dark than to play seventies Kung Fu footage of Pai Mei
in action over the monologue.

The first time I saw the movie, the first big thing that struck me was
Budd. His is a great and
tragic character, and Michael Madsen is a great actor, and his
performance begins in a singularly perfect scene with Carradine which
shows us his indifference to, and acceptance of, his approaching
probable demise. And for a long stretch the Bride is forgotten, and we
simply follow Budd into the lonely strip club he tends bar at, getting
a taste of what his existence has become, of his disappointment and
withdrawal from life (the scene where he argues with his boss Larry and
finally relinquishes both his hat and his pride is worthy of applause).
Every time I watch the scene of the Bride's sneak-attack on him, I am
more amazed by how exquisitely constructed the whole sequence is. A
long, meticulous build-up ending in unexpected truncation is a
trade-mark of Quentin's, in action as well as dialogue. What Budd does with the Bride is endlessly fascinating to me in its brilliant, primeval simplicity. This is the stuff of great myths. In the last chapter the tone of the film changes from the grandiose, Tarantinian adventure of the first four chapters and settles into an intimate dialogue between the story's two central characters (and one other, for a time), in which Quentin subtly and expertly simmers the tension and danger that exists between these two supremely deadly assassins. This section of the film is in keeping with an other trade-mark of Quentin's, that of inserting elements of simplest, uttermost reality into an over-the-top, epic story. With Quentin's help, David Carradine produced a magnificent performance in this film, as a man who is possibly even more laid-back than Carradine was himself (and who delivers three great monologues), but who can be deeply, genuinely menacing. 'Kill Bill Vol. 2' is the most joyful, the most exciting, the most glorious celebration of the cinema I've ever seen. It is Tarantino's deepest and most emotionally powerful film by far (and the often over-looked sequence of the Bride slowly preparing herself before leaving a bed-room to face Bill is one of the very best in the film). It has both the best and second- best uses of music I've heard in a movie (if not more). The climax of the Bride's raggedly magnificent confrontation with her wicked rival Elle evokes in me the emotion of sheer love. And the scene of the Bride's triumph over the designs of Budd has become my central image of the cinema. This is a movie that bursts with human life, and with its director's signature passion and love of the movies. I can't tell you how many times I've put the D.V.D. in to look at a specific part, and then ended up watching the whole damn thing again.

Although Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is greater movie than Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Kill Bill: Vol.2 more concentrates on revealing the shocking moment and half-like epic story rather than Kung-fu fighting or stylistic action.
