mtrburrows Kill Bill Vol. 2 is the more Tarantino-esc of the Kill Bill movies, with less emphasis on action (although Vol. 2 has my favourite action scene from the 2 movies, that being the trailer fight) and this time I greater focus on his trademark dialogue and character building. While the Bride stole the show in Vol. 1, this time it's Bill who's the standout, with the actor having the perfect balance of charm and creepy that makes you buy his history with the Bride.This movie also has one of my favourite Tarantino moments, which makes one inch punching look like the most badass move ever invented by man! Overall, Vol. 2 acts as a very satisfying conclusion to what Vol. 1 set up, and while it may be slower, it's just as memorable, and just as rewatchable.

Davis P I personally really enjoyed Kill Bill: Vol. 1. It was full of well written dialogue, featured good performances, and was very entertaining. All of the same things are true for this sequel, although it's not quite as good as the first movie. The cast is a lot of the same, Thurman, Carradine, Hannah, and Madsen are all back and all turn in great performances. Thurman's character is now focusing on the three remaining people that are left on her quest for revenge. I want to focus on these three individuals separately. First, is Michael Madsen. He plays his character very well, he is not very fanatic, he's pretty laid back and chill most of the time, and in a way that makes his character more menacing, because of the ease that comes with his actions. He was a great choice for his role. But ya know who was the absolute perfect choice for their role? Daryl Hannah. Hannah plays Elle, the one eyed ruthless assassin. I adored her performance, she really gave it her all. I was transfixed by her acting ability here, especially since it's a pretty unusual role for her. And of course Thurman was just amazing in the lead, just as she was in Vol. 1. I do suggest this sequel, but only if this is your kind of movie and only if you liked the first film. Well written dialogue, fine performances, and a lot of great action. 8/10.

Shred_Master OK, so I know that kill Bill is meant to be one film all together but it ended up that they did two volumes, which are very different, so it makes sense to review Volume 2 on its own.Without saying too much about volume one, it is one of my favorite Tarantino flicks - the action, the dialogue, the music, the acting, etc. I remember being very excited about volume 2 coming out, then it did…It's not that I mind Tarantino going in another direction per se but everything that was awesome about volume one, he completely changed for volume two. The first thing that I noticed right away was the music. The score and the soundtrack for volume one fit every frame perfectly. For volume two, I felt the music was very off-putting. The action is volume two was very much toned down. It's not that there wasn't any action but the few action scenes that occurred were nothing compared to the spectacle in volume one. Even the final fight between the bride and Bill, was very quick and very unsatisfying. These were the two best fighters in the story and yet, most of the back-and-forth was simply a conversation. Tarantino is known for his dialogue and the final moments didn't disappoint in that department but if you're telling a revenge story, it's kind of like going through a video game. Each opponent gets tougher and when you get to the final "boss fight," it typically is and should be the hardest, longest and requiring the utmost of your skills. It seems like, for this arc, he went in the opposite direction.One of the biggest problems I had though, was the fact that I couldn't help feeling that Bill in the end was right. Let's face it, what the bride did to him was pretty messed up and she did it to the very person that she knew wouldn't just let it go. She left pregnant with his baby, changed her identity and married someone else. Did she really think he wouldn't track her down? Did she really think that if he did find out, he would be OK with ending it like it was? She was either really stupid, or very arrogant. Either way, Bill being a "murdering bastard" or not, he was completely justified in his actions. It was hard to sympathize with Beatrix in the end.I know that there are a lot of people that hold this movie in high regard but I don't get it. This movie left me very disappointed in how he ended what he so masterfully set up in volume 1.

luis_mrt1995 Kill Bill Vol. 2, the second part of the fourth film of Quentin Tarantino, is a homage to spaghetti western and martial arts movies.After of the Bride defeated to Vernita Green and O-Ren Ishii, she must cope with Elle Driver, Budd and his brother, Bill. The beginning, like in the previous film, has a strong scene because we see when Bill shoots to the Bride and she tell us directly about her revenge's travel and her final objective: Kill Bill.The elements of spaghetti western films present in this movie are: - The desert environment. - The rough and tough characters. - The dirty aesthetic. - The soundtrack for gives more intensity to confrontation scenes: the Bride & Bill, the Bride vs the grave, the Bride vs Elle. In my opinion, these scenes are the best of this film.As a curiosity, Tarantino uses part of the Ennio Morricone's soundtrack from 'The good, the bad and the ugly' in the chapter six, when Bill finds the Bride.The elements of martial arts films present in Kill Bill Vol. 2, especially in chapter 8, are: - The story about the Old China. - The Kung-fu fights. - The hard training for become a great warrior. - The respect to the master and the revenge for his murder.The movie is divided into five parts: - The chapter six (The massacre of Two Pines): The Bride remembers the last essay of her wedding. - The chapter seven (The lonely grave of Paula Schultz): The Bride confronts to Budd but she is buried alive. - The chapter eight (The cruel tutelage of Pai Mei): The Bride remembers her training with Pai Mei. - The chapter nine (Elle and I): Budd dies and, Elle and the Bride fights - The last chapter (Face to face): Beatrix Kiddo goes to Mexico, she faces to Bill and she discovers that her daughter is alive.This second part is really good for this long revenge story, so anyone can feel satisfaction for conclusion of this film.
