Critics Consensus

Kill Bill: Volume 2 adds extra plot and dialogue to the action-heavy exploits of its predecessor, while still managing to deliver a suitably hard-hitting sequel.

n the hyper-kinetic Kill Bill 1 you didn't know when the end happened, in Vol 2 you often wish the proceedings could hurtle to the finale, fast.

Rated: 3/4

Newsweek

Vol. 2 fills in the motivational and emotional blanks that left the first movie tasting like a meal made only of appetizers.

London Evening Standard

I don't even want to do Tarantino and his pathetic accomplices the honour of recounting the narrative of the second "volume" of this exercise in trashpedalling, and frankly I don't need to, because there isn't a plot to speak of.

Gone With The Twins

It just can’t live up to the pacing and intensity – the rollercoaster ride – of its predecessor, feeling like a duller, inferior half, even if it presents an uncommonly suitable conclusion.

Rated: 4/10

Midwest Film Journal

Twenty years later, "Kill Bill, Vol. 2" is not the career-worst catastrophe it felt like then. Despite a great performance from David Carradine, this frustratingly inconsistent back half remains burdened by handling every emotional beat of the story.

Rated: 3/5

KSQD Community Radio

Unlike Vol. 1, Vol. 2 is more leisurely paced and less action-oriented, allowing for far more of the rich, idiosyncratic dialog Tarantino is known for.

The second half of this film is, in and of itself, a masterpiece. The direction and cinematography are as great as can be. The acting is masterful. Michael Parks is outstanding in his second role in the film as Esteban. Film fans and afficionados must watch Kill Bill! 94/100 for Volume 1 98/100 for Volume 2 96/100 for the entire film

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The extra plot and backstory adds to the story, even if it needs to slow down the pacing to get the job done. But this part 2 is still an excellent movie.

A great Tarantino film. Vol.2 this time it is able to step back to let you catch your breath, with a more leisurely pace. Allowing for more of the brilliant dialogue that this writer/director is known for. The cost is there is abit less action. Great performances all round. A great ending.

The film serves its purpose well enough, the plot is digestible and can be told without any problems. but leaves a lot to be desired compared to its predecessor. It's not that it's disappointing, it just feels like it could have been a lot better.

Uma Thurman is a compelling protagonist that I want to win. Tarantino’s storytelling is always enjoyable.

Perfect! A great homage to the kung fu movie form Tarantino. There's nothing much to say about this, it's really cool! The photography is just brilliant, and Uma perfectly fits in her role. I love David Carradine acting here, great character.
