What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

Vol. 2 fills in the motivational and emotional blanks that left the first movie tasting like a meal made only of appetizers. Go to Full Review
Will Self London Evening Standard Jan 9, 2018
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. Go to Full Review

...Volume 2 is very different—in tone, textures, and rhythms—from its predecessor: here, the violence progresses towards minimalism, while the characters shed their abstract skin so that their souls can grow (and overflow). [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It might be the more indulgent volume, but its willingness to explore the complex heart beneath the carnage makes it essential viewing and a journey well worth revisiting. Go to Full Review

A-
As in many Tarantino films, his dialogue is never really specific to characters. It’s Tarantino’s world and everyone in it basically speaks the same way. But incredible actors like Thurman manage to make the lines her own. Go to Full Review

Silke B @Silke 1 day ago If you claim to like this idiotic moview, you’re cool. If you admit to not liking it, you’re uncool See more Sean E @EllissinemaPodcast 2 days ago *Kill Bill: Vol. 2* trades some of its predecessor's blood-soaked lunacy for something richer, stranger and surprisingly emotional. Quentin Tarantino delivers a magnificent collision of spaghetti westerns, Shaw Brothers kung fu and operatic revenge. Uma Thurman is extraordinary, while David Carradine brings haunting charisma to Bill. Michael Madsen's Budd is wonderfully pathetic, Daryl Hannah's Elle Driver is pure venom, and Gordon Liu's Pai Mei nearly steals the entire picture. Robert Richardson's cinematography is gorgeous, Sally Menke's editing is razor-sharp, and the fight choreography remains spectacular. The buried-alive sequence alone is a masterclass in suspense. But beneath the violence lies a story about love, betrayal, motherhood and the terrible cost of vengeance. It's funny, brutal, unexpectedly tender and unmistakably Tarantino. See more Linggar A @RT58737787 3 days ago This film has a very different feel from the previous one, which focused on stunning action. The sequel instead tells its story at a slow pace, with lots of dialogue and very little action. To me, it portrays Bill as someone calm yet incredibly charismatic, not to mention the long stretches of dialogue that run throughout the whole film. Even so, the action scenes are still good, even though there are very few of them. The film satisfyingly resolves the mystery that was set up from the very beginning, but the lack of action may disappoint those who loved the action in the first film. See more Bruce W @MovieBuff95 6 days ago While "Volume 1" fought & cut its way to its bloody crescendo, "Volume 2" leads us to a "final showdown" which feels quite anti-climactic. All those enemies, combat & killing then Bill (the main reason for revenge) turns out to be one big "That's it ?!" which still ruins it for me. See more martin M @RT09261029 Oct 6, 2026 The first was my favourite of the two See more Brendan K @Bkeller25 Oct 4, 2026 Kill Bill 2 is a bit slower paced compared to the first volume, but it makes up for it as it is more emotional and character-driven. The action scenes are fantastic as always, albeit not as plentiful as the first volume. I would say I prefer the first one (was not huge on the ending of Vol 2), but I appreciate how different they feel. See more Read all reviews
