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.

Nick Rogers

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.

It’s Tarantino’s idiosyncratic style that makes it transcend those previous, lesser-known works...

Non posso che dare 5 stelle come al primo essendo in pratica i due film uno solo. Anche questo vol.2 contiene scene e dialoghi elevati allo status di cult senza tempo.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Just like the first one, the second one is as weird and full of twists. It's just as great as Volume 1 but a little long in the end.

More of the craziness and twists that we loved the first one for.

This is the antithesis to the first film, heavy on dialogue and plot. But then you remember that this dialogue is just written by anybody, it's written by Quentin Tarantino. And if there's anything great about him it's that he is a thoroughly entertaining and engaging writer to listen and read to.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Well, the second movie delivered too. However in the end it got a little long. Other than that. Entertaining and funny
