The second and final volume in Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series is another stylish, sprawling masterwork. VOLUME 2 picks up where the first film left off, as The Bride (Uma Thurman) resumes her quest to track down her former mentor, Bill (David Carradine), and exact revenge. But before she gets to Bill, she must first take out the remaining minions who helped to slaughter her best friends and fiancé. First up is Budd (Michael Madsen), a quiet but dangerous country boy who lives in a trailer. Next is Elle Driver (Darryl Hannah), a one-eyed vixen who doesn't appear to have a heart--or a conscience. As The Bride makes her way closer to Bill, scenes from her past are revisited, including her training with the angry and brutal Pai Mei (Gordon Liu). Finally, The Bride locates her man, sparking a truly unforgettable confrontation. In contrast to the nearly dialogue-free first volume, VOLUME 2 is filled with extended conversations that bring the story full circle. Thurman is once again riveting as the determined assassin, while Carradine delivers one of his best performances ever as the sadistic title character. Director of photography Robert Richardson uses a variety of film stocks to great effect, adding even more flair to Tarantino's already eye-popping vision. Rounding out things is an electrifying soundtrack that features original music from The RZA and Robert Rodriguez, as well as songs from Shivaree, Ennio Morricone, and Johnny Cash. [More]

If Vol. 1 is more Pulp Fiction than Vol. 2 is more Jackie Brown.

An impressive, engrossing and almost nostalgic tribute to a world found only in the movies, and to the movies it was found in.

There's more wordplay than swordplay in this thorough conclusion, but that just gives writer-director Quentin Tarantino room to strut his cinematic talents.

They spend a little too much time yapping, not enough time whacking. Especially in a movie called Kill Bill.

Coppola’s fourth film as a director was The Godfather and Scorsese’s was Taxi Driver. Tough acts to follow, but Tarantino gives it his best shot with Kill Bill.

Tarantino promised that Vol. 2 would be more of his style of slick dialogue, pop culture, & badass characters, with a little less action. That's a vast understatement.

As gloriously cinematic as it is completely over the top in the best possible way.

Tarantino crafts tranquil conversational dialogue so powerful, I was practically moved to tears despite said conversation not being particularly emotional.

This movie, for all of its showmanship and technique, diminishes the first one.

the tension Carradine and Thurman generate in the pivotal scene, as bloodlust collides with memories of happier days, is utterly riveting.

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.

When not being a colossal bore, Tarantino takes pleasure in offending our moral sensibilities with his adoring portrait of a natural born killer with a thirst for revenge.

Vol. 2 is nowhere near as explicit in its violence [as Vol. 1], but it is more emotionally explicit.

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.

Quentin Tarantino's deliciously perverse semisequel is the most voluptuous comic-book movie ever made.

Vol. 2 concludes the tale, but it heads to the finish line with a casual stroll, not a sprint.
