User Reviews
Honestly better than the first
Kill Bill Volume 2 is
the astonishing follow-up to perhaps 2003's best film, Kill Bill Volume
1. Quentin Tarantino once again demonstrates a mastery of dialogue in
this homage to the great western and kung fu movies that inspired him
from his video clerk days.
Simply, this film is as entertaining
as hell. Tarantino unabashedly takes the viewer for a joyride, and the
end result is a movie with intense action, tempered with some of the
best dialogue I have ever heard.
Some have pointed to this film
as inferior to the first volume of Kill Bill: I disagree. Whereas
Tarantino is a great action director (the scene in the first film with
the crazy 88s is one of my top five favorite battle scenes of all time),
he even surpasses this talent in his ability to write witty, intriguing
dialogue: and this film really delivers it. One scene in particular,
with David Carradine as Bill, near the end, speaking with Uma Thurman's
The Bride while he makes a sandwich, is unforgettable and insightfully
interesting. There are few points where the film drags, and the movie
ultimately creates the impression of a visceral experience. 10/10. Go
see this film, it is by far the best film released so far this year.
