Amazon.co.uk Review "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, fuelled 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 honours 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

This is not the kind of film to show you gran, but equally it's not all action and violence. If you're interested in purchasing Kill Bill Volume 2, it's a safe bet that you've already seen Volume 1 - they are two sides of the same coin but at the same time they are quite different sides. Volume 2 is much more dialogue based and takes its time to move the plot on at its own pace - if you're a fan of Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in the West' you'll know what I mean. Clearly, Tarantino is also a Sergio Leone fan and his influence is really apparent here and a few subtle and some not-so-subtle references to Leone's films.
There are some exciting action sequences but they are shorter and more sporadic than in Volume 1; the over-the-top, ridiculous gore-fests are pretty much absent here, but there are still some stunning fight sequences.
The soundtrack is much more subtle than in Volume 1 but it is still an excellent soundtrack. As a Blu-ray, the picture quality is very good; being a newer film, there is very little film grain but the picture is still incredibly sharp.
Overall, this is definitely worth watching. If you liked Volume 1, then you'll like this, but if you are only interested in over-the-top action then prepare to be disappointed. It's a fitting conclusion to the storyline and the kind of film that leaves a lasting impact, long after the credits have rolled.
N.B. There are still lingering rumours of "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Saga" - which incorporates both volumes into a single film. While I'm sure this will be the definitive edition to buy eventually, there are no concrete plans to release it yet - the last official statement was from Tarantino himself earlier in the year when he said that it would be out by May 2009. Once it is officially announced with a firm release date, then that is probably going to be the best edition to buy. Until then, buying this and Volume 1 is still a smart move for any Tarantino fan.
