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.

Outlook

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.

The Contending

As in many Tarantino films, his dialogue is never really specific to characters. It’s Tarantino’s world and everyone in it basically speaks the same way. But incredible actors like Thurman manage to make the lines her own.

Rated: A-

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

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
