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.

The pop encyclopedist and video-store genius has become a megalomaniac, and the exhilarating filmmaker he might have been is disappearing fast.

If he doesn't take care Tarantino could make something significantly worse.

A gargantuanly entertaining double feature.

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.

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?

Sequel just as over-the-top explicitly violent.

Although it's a gigantic shame that Miramax split Quentin Tarantino's long awaited 'kung-fu samurai Spaghetti Western love story' epic into two halves, "Kill Bill Vol. 2" pays off in spades...

The film that brings Tarantino's magnum opus full circle emotionally and thematically gets its definitive release--visually, at least.

More talk than action and more back story and explication than the film would have warranted if the mysterious first installment didn't place such a burden on the second.

Though Vol. 2's body count is of necessity smaller than that of its predecessor, the brutality hurts more here, and counts for more.

Much like the classic spaghetti Westerns and kung fu flicks, Tarantino paradoxically manages to glorify and condemn the violence of his characters.

Tarantino is killing off his mentors - directors who have passed or should have passed the torch long ago - to pave the future of cinema.

A more laid back not as quite as violent as the first but a solid finish to a nice tale. The entire why of volume 1 is laid out for you in a great finish.

It may not be the diabolical conclusion that many fans may have wanted, but in a storytelling sense, it is almost perfection. By the end of the first film I was dying to get the answers, but when the second portion starts, it almost feels like Tarantino wanted you to know who everyone is, before you even get to see for
