AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Meme The second part gives us a more in depth look into the actions that the Bride had taken in the first part, how she decided to make a change and the consequences of it all. It has some of the best dialogue written especially in the last parts of the movie when Bill and Kiddo finally meet. Their interaction is what makes the movie special it gives us an insight into what makes them who they are. Bill is cold and has a heart at the same time, Kiddo is deadly yet vulnerable and has a difficult time speaking her emotional state. This is most evident when Bill drops by the Chapel and her hesitation and fear is displayed by the frantic looks and tone changes Uma thurman uses, the Bride is most human then. Both movies are a one destination journey, the most touching part is her journey as a warrior under the tutelage of Pai Mei. This is where we catch a glimpse of the warrior that Kiddo really is, and what makes her different from all the others, she has a deep honor and respect for tradition. This casts her in a superior mold to Bill as a warrior, who is cunning and fierce but lacks the dedication Kiddo has for she has an honor code they all lack.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Kill Bill Vol.2"Six months between the final "Miramax" release of "Kill Bill Vol.1" and "Volume 2" on April 16th 2004 to solid box office attendance for an high-scale arthouse action movie, when finally director Quentin Tarantino released from budgetary boundaries delivers a masterpiece in pace, suspense build-up and release, especially in an highlighted trailer fighting confrontation between Elle Driver, performed with utmost joy by actress Daryl Hannah and Beatrix Kiddo aka "The Bride", in Uma Thurman's reprising superbly-tailored role of the avenging blonde angel fulfulling her "Death List" to final title-given promise, when "Kill Bill Vol.2" shines with splendid maturity in visual story-telling of flashback, flash-forward and in-present tension beating scenes of excellence.Ensemble cast, surrounding Keith Carradine (1936-2009) as Bill, Michael Madsen as Budd, Lucy Liu as O-Ren Ishii, who actually has her great performance piece in "Volume 1" as Vivica A. Fox as Vernita Green, when director Quentin Tarantino lets no doubt coming up that he had had all strings of filmmaking tight in hands, while directing with precision, a golden eye for camera angles ed by cinematographer Robert Richardson and the spark of magic moments, when finding beauty in mud, dirt and the all-over ugly truth towards suprising twists in the very end of motion picture satisfactions, where "Kill Bill Vol.2" only flaw becomes not letting go at a peaking moment in an slightly-fairy final 20 Minutes cut by Tarantino's entrusted editor of the first "Reservoir Dogs" minute Sally Menke (1953-2010), who could have broken off another 10 minutes in favors of the "Final Cut".Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC
Marc Israel There's a quote by the character Budd in this Quentin Tarantino movie after our now Bouncer is asked to compare his Hatori Honzo sword with others. It is at this time that he hesitates and comments on appropriate and inappropriate comparisons. I would venture that the same goes true for QT movies. As they are genre compilations with their own set of rules of the film realm, that we have come to love and trust, they really stand in their own place. We picked up here where we left off with The Brides' Viper Assassin Gang Assassination List 40% complete, with another 88 or so Samarai style deaths absolved along the way in the name of avenging the loss of her baby four years earlier. If we were expecting more of the same we would have been selling QT short. Enter The Western!It's a dirty, dusty old trail of revenge and nothing is going stop her, except herself... see beginning and ending off the movie for further details. This is countered by overacting, which is purposefully delicious and appropriate. To compare KBII to KB I is miss the point of a continued move. This really isn't a "II" , in the movie sense of franchised adventure. Volume 2 is simply the second half of a movie that was split in two for purposes of audience attention span, studio double dipping into your pockets and, I'm guessing, a bit off QT tom foolery.... and isn't that what we came for?
micgib-09262 Warning: There may be spoilers Once again Tarantino excels. This film is more dialogue driven than it's predecessor, however is just as enjoyable. Once again the highlight is Uma Truman's lead performance. In fact this film probably displays Thurman's talent as an actress more prominently than ever before. However like it's predecessor this film also features excellent ing work. David Carradine in particular give an outstanding performance in his villainous role. Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen are also excellent in this Martial Arts flick. Overall Vol 2 is just as enjoyable as Vol 1 and will satisfy a large range of viewers.
