Kill Bill Vol. 2
 

Damn, what an awesome movie. :D

Not as much action as Vol. 1, but that didn't matter much in this one as it spent a lot of time going over past events, like why Bill shot her, her training, etc.. basically anything left unanswered in Vol. 1 was accounted for and explained in this one.

If only other movies could follow suit and make a decent conclusion *cough*matrix*cough* Granted.. this movie was technically supposed to be one, but it doesn't disappoint at all.

I've heard people say that the lack of action (compared to Volume 1) makes it a lesser movie, but after I saw Volume 1, I myself was pretty interested in seeing how the story progresses, as opposed to seeing just more action.

Also I heard that Samuel Jackson is in it. Is that true?

Good movie.

What the world needs now

In my opinion it was better by far than the first one. I hated vol 1 though but 2 was character driven enough to keep my interest. together they would have been a great film instead of 1 being good and the other a mediocre one.

Yes, he is in chapter six (first chapter in the vol. 2). He has maybe 50 words he says, but it is funny. In the first one, he is the colored fellow that plays the paino.

I almost wish that he wouldent of cut them, and just released it as a 4 hour movie. It would of been better i feel. It will be better when Vol 2 is out on DVD and you can watch both togeather i think, but i also felt that you could watch vol 2 without seeing the first because the movie is already out of order with that chapters.

The movie is great though. Yes, there is less death, much less, but it is not missed. The action parts are great. The parts about her training are great, especially with the old school camera movements like zooming in on Pia Mi's face then zooming out after he is done talking.

Did anyone else notice the corpse in the graveyard making the bunny rabit shadow puppet on the back of the coffen? Things like this make it a great movie.

Hahaha, yes, that was great!

I loved it. I liked it better than the first vol. Sure the first was all about action and gore with little back story. This one was a lot of plot and was still able to splash in just enough action to satisfy. Better than I expected. The music, again, was done perfectly. Tarantino has an ear for these things.

I need to go see it again for it to sink in some more...

Tarantino will be releasing the full version later this year ("before christmas" is what he said, i believe.)
I don't have a link to back this up, sorry. I read it on AICN but I'm not able to find that article anymore.

The scenes with Pai Mei were great, the washed out vintage 8mm look was perfect. Loved it, but I'm split over which is the better movie. I missed some of the cheesyness the first had - "Tell me, darling Sofie... is she aware her daughter is still alive?" [Bill]

Classic. And fucking badass. And Hilarious. And fucking grand.

Absolutely loved it! To me it was just as good just in a different way.

9.5 / 10

It's what going to the movies should be like.
Loved it.

Pitch black screen and you can hear the dirt being thrown on! So creepy and so brilliant.

I'm so looking forward to this...I *loved* the first one..

Unfortunately, here in germany I won't be enjoying it in the theatre...
Oh well..the other way will have to suffice ;)

Everyone's on the money. If you thought the first volume had too much gore and too little character, this film will redress the balance. Stitched together, they are going to one fantastic fucking movie.

Just curious, but in your opinions should I rent the first one now or just wait for both of them to be released together on DVD? Never have seen either film and have barely read the plot summary, something about 'commatose rape' and 'pissed off chick with weapons' from what I understand.

dont fuck with la pei, bitch.

Just got back from seeing it! Less action, even MORE character development and backstory...better than the first. This movie is a masterpiece. See it now if you enjoyed the first one even a bit.

Totally awesome movie. I cant decide which is better. Pai mei was the man. Elle was a crazy fucking lady.

Hey can some of you help me, my roommate bet me they wont release it together as one dvd but i heard that Quentin is going to recut the film and put it alltogether as one. Can anyone find a link to a quote for me about this because I havent been able to find one. If I win the bet he has to buy it for me when it comes out. thanks.

WARNING...SPOILER!!!


Spoiler: Budd should have got more screen time. The scene were Uma takes out Elle's other eye was one of the sweetest scenes evar!!! I also thought the scene where the teacher is calling out names and then it pans to Beatrix Kiddo... here!. That was pretty fun.

mod edit - use the spoiler tags for spoilers

I loved it. A modern masterpiece. Everyone should see these movies. I don't feel like typing out my whole review or anything, but it was definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Asuka{eve} put a spoiler warning on your post for people who havent seen it. That was awesome as hell though.

I thought it was really good but it seemed a little wordy at times...I think the first one was better.

That was my only complaint. I also think the first had more memorable moments. I look back and they just don't add up the same. I also wish there was more swordplay. Still, great movie.

My only complaint about both volumes of Kill Bill is relatively simple: No Sam Jackson. A Tarantino film without Mr. Jackson is somehow less fulfilling. Other than that, a movie of epic and biblical greatness.

It's Pai Mei bitch! :lol:

LOL! Did you even pay attention during the films? Sam is in it. He plays the organ player in the church.

I saw Vol. 2 today and loved it. My only complaint was the pacing especially in the beginning. It could of used some tweaking.

This movie was fuckin' amazing. Everything about this movie was just first-class. I loved it.

He's in Volume 2...he plays Rufus the organ player

Sammy J isn't in Reservoir Dogs, and that certainly doesn't make it less of a movie!

In fact, he's only been in two of Quentin's movies: Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.

BTW, anyone else hear anything about Quentin's next movie, Inglorious Bastards (http://imdb.com/title/tt0361748/)? I heard it's a WWII type flick.

He's also involved in the movie "Hero" (shown in previews before Kill Bill Vol. 2) that, strangely enough, isn't on IMDB anywhere! The preview stated, "Quentin Tarantino presents..", but I can't find anything on it.

It was awesome and thats all you need to know.

Just got home from seeing it, and it is top notch tarentino goodness. I love the character development, and the thickening story. It also answers questions that you might have been asking yourself after watching volume one. I really liked it. Pai mei is my hero.. 9.5/10

Another vote for "extremely good".

If you haven't seen vol.1, still go to the theater.

There are a few scenes that should be seen in the dark on a big screen :D

I didnt know that the Gordon Lui played the parts for Johnny Mo (the head of the Crazy 88) and Pai Mei. Thats awesome. And also having Sonny Chiba as Hattori Hanzo was just a totally kick ass decision by Tarantino.

It's odd to rate them independantly... because it's ONE movie, told in serial. When Vol 2 is out on DVD and people can watch them together to make one movie, we will all see a fucking truly badass movie.

I hope he DOES release the whole thing as one movie in the future. That would be awesome as hell.

double post

Hero was made before quentin tag was added. He's only doing this so it'll get released in the states (did the same with iron monkey)

Michael Madsen was awesome in vol. 2 as well! I was hoping for something along the lines of Mr. Blonde, but Bud managed to be way more awesome. I loved Reservoir Dogs, and the razor out of the cowboy boots reference was just too much! Thank you Quentin!

I thought vol 2 was quite awesome and in many ways a better release than vol 1. Either way, though, the two parts form an unbelievable masterpiece.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was amazed by the emotion evoked by each and every scene. Nothing was wasted.

oh, i cant wait to see the double feature...only 3 more days....

Well - looks like everyone was on the same page with this. I loved it too! I laughed my ass off and was generally entertained. I have now set out on a quest to lean Pei Mei's Five Point Palm of the Exploding Heart Technique.
