I like vol 2 more than vol 1. I think it's overall a better movie with better developed characters.
The first one is basically an anime for people with low attention spans. It's all just superficial flash with little substance. It's also full of references itself. So it's like people second hand referencing stuff.
Vol 2 is where you actually get better characters. Not just the bride and Bill, but Budd and Elle as well.
Then you add all the smaller characters like Pai Mei and Bill's father. Shit, even the bar owner is more interesting than most characters in the vol 1.


The ending is fantastic. I also prefer the trailer fight than everything in vol1 besides the fight in the snow.

And I love vol1(even though it seems like I just completely shitted on it), but vol2 is clearly better.


Exactly. 1 was just crazy fights and popcorn fun. 2 actually took the story to another level.

Do i really have to explain to people that this thread is my opinion? Other people are literally stating that 2 cannot objectively be worse than 1. I worded my opinion strongly but its nothing more than opinion.

I don't have anything more to say about this movie than what I've already said. All I can think to add is that the trailer fight was pretty cool. If you're looking for me to post some detailed, in-depth essay film critique, id have to watch the movie again with the sole intent being to write a review, and I really don't wanna do that.

Ah well, I tried.

Not sure why you'd create a thread on something you don't want to talk about other than say it's shit.

Kill Bill Volume 2 is one of my favorite movies. I like it more than Volume 1 and I adore Volume 1.

You are a crazy person.

Bill didn't even learn the crazy death movie. Try to understand the movie if you are going to make an OP about it. You probably think the new powerpuff girls show is better too.

Uhhh what? While I rate KB on the lower echelon of QT's work, not only is Vol. 2 very good, it's the better one.

Nah the PPG reboot is trash, I fucking hate PPG 2016.

Everyone sure making a lot of assumptions and getting really personal.

I get it, im wrong, I'm in the most extreme minority on this topic. No clue the backlash would be so strong over a movie.

I don't see a point in this thread anymore except to bash on me.

My hot take: Kill Bill Vol 1 has a long interstitial anime sequence that doesn't further the plot therefore it's automatically worse. Vol 2 has a great fight between Kiddo and Driver and a cool twist on a fight scene between Kiddo and Bill, the origin of the protagonist, the inception of the story (Kiddo getting pregnant,) the reunification of the mother and child, and the fucking conclusion to the story.

Sure why not. Lets get the entire board to hate me fuck it.

Fuck Star Wars. SW is one of the most overrated franchises of all time. I watched the first 6 and thought they were decent, ok, mediocre. I don't plan to ever watch the sequel trilogy. I don't care about Star Wars.

Mad Max Fury Road is boring.

Lord of the Rings is boring.

Bury me in your hatred!!!

Sounds like you just wanted action and gore porn rather than a quality movie.

I mean both volumes are excellent but vol 2 is more nuanced. And that's not a bad thing.

If you had to separate them I think an argument can be made that while Kill Bill Vol.1 may be more fun. Vol. 2 without a doubt is a better film.

That OP is probably one of the worst things I've read in my fucking life.

Like, seriously, how old are you? Not to be patronizing, but it's pretty clear you don't get Vol.2 or Vol.1.

Vol. 2 owns Vol. 1 by a country mile.

Fuck you, prentious ass condescending mother fucker. Eat shit.

A redneck with a shotgun is more combat effective than goofy martial arts shit. Her 'losing' that fight makes sense.

I mean OP if you're making a thread that's specifically about hating something, you have to expect some backlash. Not sure what you were expecting.

Young me:

Kill Bill 1 was entertaining as fuck
Kill Bill 2 was so zzzzzzzzzzzz

Today me:

Kill Bill Part 1 really captures the feel of Asian cinema feel and culture. Such a great film.
Kill Bill Part 2 was simply breathtaking. The music (Morricone), Spaghetti Western influnces, the cinematic tension and conflicts. Such a fitting ending to the first part.

Still want my Kill Bill Whole Bloody Affair

Enjoyed 2 more. More Carradine (always thought Bill is Tarantino's funniest character) is always a plus, and liked how revenge takes a backseat to essentially regret.

Protip: don't use thread titles that will piss off people who disagree when it comes to discussing media so your thread isnt 10 pages of pile on.

I wish the final fight against Bill had been more epic. But then again it would have been hard to top the epicness of the Lucy Liu fight.

They're 2 parts of one movie. There is no Kill Bill 2. Both parts are referenced in pop culture just as much, there are amazing moments in both movies. Just from Vol 2, things that are pretty famous are: The Exploding Heart Technique, Bill's Superman speech, the entire scene with Pai Mei and the Bride's escape from being buried alive.

For people who enjoy one part more than the other, that's fine, both parts deal with different themes and styles.

Vol 1 is an homage to Samurai and Yakuza flicks from Japanese cinema, while Vol 2 is more of an homage to Western and Kung Fu movies. They both have added elements as well, of course, which flow into each other, because they are for all intents and purposes one movie.

I don't understand where you're coming from OP, never have I heard that people don't remember Vol 2.

I wrote an essay in high school film studies around the scene where she meets her daughter.
