Kill Bill: Vol. 2 movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Kill Bill Vol. 2 is the movie that makes movie geekdom seem sexy. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Vol. 2 isn't exactly disappointing, and like all of Tarantino's movies, I suspect it will improve with repeated viewings. But for now, Vol. 2 leaves you pondering what could have been. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: For those seeking the vibrant innovation of Tarantino's first movies or the sheer rush of Kill Bill, Vol. 1, Vol. 2 feels like a dulled blade. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: It's flawed but so audaciously unique that I can't imagine missing it if you love movies. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: Kill Bill, Volumes 1 and 2 are great fun, but when they're over there's nothing to make us question our addiction to violent fantasies of retribution. The whole is a little less than the sum of its volumes. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: A beautiful, twisted, complex martial arts soap opera. Read more
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: While Tarantino has toned down the action scenes, the way he films them can still surprise. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A film richer in every way than its illustrious, callow predecessor. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: A blast of pure pop pleasure. Read more
Noah Berlatsky, Chicago Reader: If he doesn't take care Tarantino could make something significantly worse. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Though much of the film is a lot of fun, it needs a good editor. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: A rip-roaring, highly entertaining, extremely enjoyable continuation to Vol. 1. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: In Kill Bill - Vol. 2, cool has rediscovered its medium. It has found its master. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: With the second installment, Tarantino -- famous as an inspired manipulator of genre, less proven as a filmmaker of soul -- shows his shy but ardent, cinephiliac understanding of American sentiment and yearning. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: So much cinematic majesty perched precariously atop so little common sense ... [but] a castle with a shaky foundation is still quite a sight. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Vol. 2 concludes the tale, but it heads to the finish line with a casual stroll, not a sprint. Read more
John Powers, L.A. Weekly: Vol. 2 is the most sheerly enjoyable movie I've seen in ages, allowing for all the intimacy that was missing from its predecessor. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: I've lost my sweet tooth for slice-and-dice escapism, and perhaps this is why I feel the need to see movies that don't simply glamorize or fetishize or supernaturalize brutality. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Betraying its origins as the last half of another movie, rather than its own entity, Kill Bill Vol. 2 feels like leftovers. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: A dulling experience that can safely be admired from afar without it ever engaging the senses. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Quentin Tarantino's deliciously perverse semisequel is the most voluptuous comic-book movie ever made. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: People who stayed away from Vol. 1 because of its genre-dictated violence may find Vol. 2 so much fun that they'll want to catch up on Vol. 1. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Although Vol. 2 certainly doesn't skimp on action, there's far less killing here than in Vol. 1. And as the themes deepen, the film assumes an unexpected poignancy. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: An exuberant celebration of moviemaking. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: For all the craft that's gone into Kill Bill, Vol. 2, despite the chance Tarantino has taken in departing from the wham-bam movement of the first half, my final reaction to the movie is, so what? Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: A witty and entertaining action movie. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Kill Bill, Vol. 2 is every bit as wild a joyride as its prelude, but packed with richer, more resonant characters. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: If Kill Bill - Vol. 1 was like a roundhouse kick to the head, Vol. 2 is practically a warm hug. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Revenge is a meal that gets better with the second course. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: A gargantuanly entertaining double feature. Read more
Time Out: Those 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. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Kill Bill's two-pack isn't of Godfather caliber ... [b]ut its scope, filmmaking ambition and uniquely twisted point of view make it worthy of being seen some day in a chronological home version. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: What Quentin Tarantino started with a wham he finishes with a bang in Kill Bill Vol. 2. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Tarantino elevates Uma Thurman into the action-flick firmament -- she's the lethal Marlene Dietrich projected by his geek Josef von Sternberg. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: A soul-deadening experience. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A comic book at heart, albeit a thoroughly, grandly romantic one in the end. Read more
