Editorial Review:
With this thrilling, must-see movie event, writer and director Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) completes the action-packed quest for revenge begun by The Bride (Uma Thurman) in KILL BILL VOL. 1! Having already crossed two names from her Death List, The Bride is back with a vengeance and taking aim at Budd (Michael Madsen) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), the only survivors from the squad of assassins who betrayed her four years earlier. It's all leading up to the ultimate confrontation with Bill (David Carradine), The Bride's former master and the man who ordered her execution! As the acclaimed follow-up to the instant classic VOL. 1 -- you know all about the unlimited action and humor, but until you've seen KILL BILL VOL. 2, you only know half the story!
Description of Kill Bill - Volume Two:
"The Bride" (Uma Thurman) gets her satisfaction--and so do we--in Quentin Tarantino's "roaring rampage of revenge," Kill Bill, Vol. 2. Where Vol. 1 was a hyper-kinetic tribute to the Asian chop-socky grindhouse flicks that have been thoroughly cross-referenced in Tarantino's film-loving brain, Vol. 2--not a sequel, but Part Two of a breathtakingly cinematic epic--is Tarantino's contemporary martial-arts Western, fueled by iconic images, music, and themes lifted from any source that Tarantino holds dear, from the action-packed cheapies of William Witney (one of several filmmakers Tarantino gratefully honors in the closing credits) to the spaghetti epics of Sergio Leone. Tarantino doesn't copy so much as elevate the genres he loves, and the entirety of Kill Bill is clearly the product of a singular artistic vision, even as it careens from one influence to another. Violence erupts with dynamic impact, but unlike Vol. 1, this slower grand finale revels in Tarantino's trademark dialogue and loopy longueurs, reviving the career of David Carradine (who plays Bill for what he is: a snake charmer), and giving Thurman's Bride an outlet for maternal love and well-earned happiness. Has any actress endured so much for the sake of a unique collaboration? As the credits remind us, "The Bride" was jointly created by "Q&U," and she's become an unforgettable heroine in a pair of delirious movie-movies (Vol. 3 awaits, some 15 years hence) that Tarantino fans will study and love for decades to come. --Jeff Shannon
Kill Bill - Volume Two Reviews:
KILL BILL -VOL 2 PSS 
2009-11-06 - ITEM JUST AS DESCRIBED ! FAST AND FRIENDLY ! A REAL PLEASURE DOIN BUSINESS WITH ... THANK YOU !
Keeps getting better. 
2009-11-04 - I have seen this movie and handful of times, and I'm still a huge fan. Tarantino really keeps you locked-in with this conclusion to Volume 1. The dialogue, the musical arrangements... they are all phenomenal!
Bill: The Climax
2009-09-26 - While not as action packed as Volume One, in Volume Two you learn more about The Bride and her past relationship with Bill. Apparently, unknown to the Bride, Bill, expertly acted by the late David Carradine, of "Kung Fu" fame, has been raising their daughter, BeBe, and doing a really good job of it, too. We also learn that the love between Uma's character and Bill was really strong before it all fell apart. As incredible as it may seem, Uma was completely mesmerized by him at one time.
Of course, the Bride has been doing a good job of eliminating, through death or total incapacitation, the killers on her list. Her fight with Elle, memorably played by Daryl Hannah, the film's one-eyed wonder, is as much fun as it is a bit disgusting. One must put aside disbelief in Uma's literally "death defying" scenes with Budd, Bill's brother. The bride's scenes with her aged, but sadistic, Japanese instructor, are also very funny. Who would have guessed that Uma's character was multilingual!
Those fans of Quentin Tarantino hoping for a happy ending will not be disappointed. I certainly wasn't.
"Much More Than Just A Very Bloody Movie"
2009-09-25 - Kill Bill 2 is much more than just a very bloody movie although it is definately that. It is very entertaining and has a great story. If you liked Kill Bill 1 then you should like this also because they are both awesome movies!
