Still good of course. The best is the 1st one. It's not about scenario. It's about the story telling. It's not about the photography. It's about the way he's behind the cam. The one is so implicated, so personal thai it talks to the audience straight in the heart. This one talks to our mind. That's not bad. Of course it's not. But it has definitely not the same impact.

The first Kill Bill was a disappointment for me. I thought the movie was too slow moving and uninteresting and let's not even talk about that terrible animation. Overall though, the action scenes were fantastic and I hoped there would be a better story. Kill Bill 2 is exactly that. Though it has less action, it's way more compelling.First of all, the story is way more awesome. We start out with this excellent scene in black and white of The Bride's wedding. I found this story to be way more interesting than in the first even though the main outline is the same. The Bride has three more people to kill on her revenge quest. The action is also quite good. Like the first, it's really violent but in a comic book way, not too serious. It's entertaining.What I would've changed is the drama. At the end, it gets a little too melodramatic. Even though there's a lot of suspense, I could've easily cut out 10 minutes.Overall, Kill Bill 2 is an excellent Tarantino movie with some good dialogue, story and action.

With this film Quentin Tarantino concluded his 'Kill Bill' epic. The decision to do this as a two-parter was because the material he amassed for the project soon became so sizeable that it became impractical to release as a single film; both movies combined clocked in at over four hours. At the time, Tarantino was such a powerful director that he could essentially do what he liked and this two volume offering is certainly self-indulgent. I've always wondered if, with some editing, there was maybe one excellent film in here as opposed to two good ones. But that is strictly by-the-by now and what we have is two entertaining, if uneven, films. For my money, part one is the superior entry but I still think vol.2 still offers a lot of enjoyment. Where Tarantino's 90's films integrated their movie references and numerous homages into their overall crime stories quite seamlessly, his post-millennium efforts have tended to include them often just for their own sake. This has tended to make his films from this later period feel like the sum of their parts outweighs the whole and overall I have usually felt that they, while often exhibiting directorial and screen writing excellence, often include frustrating moments of inanity. The 'Kill Bill' films display these faults too I think but also the considerable directorial, and to a lesser extent, screen writing skills of its creator. With this entry the Bride continues on her revenge mission against her former colleagues from the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. We learn more about the infamous incident where they carried out a murderous assault on her and her wedding party. We also finally meet Bill for the first time and better understand his relationship with the Bride.In this entry Tarantino specifically pays homage to the action films of both the east and west, specifically the chopsocky and spaghetti western sub-genres. To this end we have an extended training sequence where the Bride is taught by a martial arts expert, while we also have much Ennio Morricone music on the soundtrack and a cowboy villain to boot. The 'Kill Bills' were probably the least interesting dialogue movies Tarantino has ever delivered, they are much more minimal in this department and much more interested in visuals and action. The writing is still good enough though and more important in the second part than the first certainly. David Carradine finally appears as Bill, I remember thinking at the time that it felt like an eternity before we finally saw him which was as much to do with the idea of this film first being mentioned shortly after Tarantino completed Jackie Brown (1997), so it was a good six or seven years between then until we finally saw Bill on screen in this movie. It was an epic amount of time but Carradine is certainly a good choice in the role and it was nice to see a true b-movie actor get such a prominent billing (no pun intended). The rest of the cast do fine but this is less of an actor's movie than Tarantino normally delivers, it's far more about the overall spectacle and set-pieces. I would probably be inclined to rank this one as the least of Tarantino's movies so far, although that is admittedly a relative statement as I still was very entertained by it.

While 'Kill Bill: Vol. 1' was a masterfully directed, action-packed, humorous venture, 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2' is a masterfully directed, action-packed, humorous, emotional journey. In my review of volume 1 I briefly mentioned that the characters and their relationship with each other was what Tarantino really wanted us to relish. All the gore and the over the top action sequences (that really dominated the first volume especially) were just the icing. This time around, Tarantino builds on the tone that has been already set in volume 1 and gives much more importance to the ugly yet beautiful, hostile yet loving, relationship between the characters.There is nothing much to say here other than to acknowledge the genius of Quentin Tarantino and his deep understanding of the art of filmmaking. And of course Uma Thurman. Her magnificent performance made sure that the movies exaggerated tone was not to distract the audiences from the heartfelt story it was trying to narrate. 'Kill Bill: Vol 2' is a brilliant movie which I felt was superior to the first.
