Reviews & comments
Variety
pressWhat Tarantino started with a wham he finishes with a bang in Kill Bill Vol. 2.
Total Film
pressPeppered with brilliance but erratic and indulgent, a structural reshuffle and disciplined editing could have resulted in a single kickass volume.
Time Out
pressThose turned off by the first part's reckless, relentless violent purges aren't likely to find cause for conversion, but Vol. 2 certainly broadens the tale's remit, even as it aims to deepen it.
The New York Times
pressTarantino's deliciously perverse semisequel is the most voluptuous comic-book movie ever made.
Hollywood Reporter
pressHere's a movie that both academics bundled in film theories and teenagers on hot dates will find supercool.
Empire Magazine
pressIt may not extend the world in a way that proper sequels should, but it supplies interiors and intensity, providing characters room to breathe - and speak.
If you're Tarantino or martial art film fan you should enjoy this one. It has a plot that is both emotional and gripping at times and concludes the story started in vol. 1 nicely. It does, however, lack some of the action displayed in the first film (particularly in the bride's showdown with the crazy 88) and goes instead for smaller scale fight scenes...
As a companion piece to Volume 1 - Kill Bill 2 doesn't disappoint. Like the first film, it simply improves with repeated viewing. Violent, charismatic and thoroughly entertaining homage to Tarantino's favorite film genres - from Spaghetti Westerns to Kung Fu. Great stuff!
