Yer, tis a wkd film mate.
I'm gonna see it this evening with some friends. In fact they've got a Kill Bill marathon this evening (volume 1 & 2) so I have to prepare myself mentally for a night of movies
I heard the second one has a lot more dialogue and a lot less blood and gore and fighting, can't wait to see it!

Volume 1 sucked big time. Uma's great though.
It's 1.49am and I just got back from the Kill Bill marathon (that's vol.1 and vol.2 all in one go for all you mofos
). I decided to put up a review of Volume 2 (since most of you probably haven't seen it yet). Note that it contains some spoilers but they are marked with an asterisk (*) and you can find the spoiler at the bottom of the page.
Kill Bill volume 2
First of all, if you haven't seen Vol.1 don't go and see Vol.2 and this because it was intended as one movie and not as a sequel, Miramax just ordered QT to split it up into two or else it would've been too long.
The most obvious thing about this movie is that it's a lot more emotional, less violant and there's more dialogue but don't say "ah no!" just yet because it's certainly not worse than the first.
The dialogues are very QT, brilliant stuff, it really pulls you into the movie as if you were right there being the 3rd person in the scenes. You get to know the characters and especially Uma Thurman's character (The Bride). In fact it's so well done that you feel like she's a friend of yours when watching it. Yes, this all happens in a somewhat fantasy world (though less fantasy than the Volume 1) and yes, some things seem a tad extraordinary yet you really feel for her and want her to do well. Uma's acting is good, she really makes the character believable yet not over the top, David Caradine does a great job playing Bill, excellent casting there and there's a bigger role for Michael Madsen who plays the type of character we all know him as. Darryl Hannah comes over authentic as a real bitch of a woman and there's a cameo for a certain well known actor who has appeared in most of Tarantino's films (no spoilers here, you'll have to see for yourself). It's this that also brings out the more emotional side to the movie and especially at the end of the movie it's all topped off nicely(*)
Another difference from Volume 1 is that Volume 2 offers less violance than the first, then again you can't really beat blood spraying all over the place and limbs flying around can you? Yet this doesn't make it any less of a movie in fact it brings out the story really well and shows you what a great writer QT really is. For all you violance freaks, do not worry, it obviously still has it's fair share especially in the fighting scenes as The Bride hunts down the gang one by one (Look out for the fight scene with Darryl Hannah!).
Another obvious thing about Volume 2 is that it contains quite a bit of humour, mainly black humour mixed with the odd bit of dry and sarcastic flavours and again I must point you to the fight between The Bride and Elle Driver(*) a great bit of cinematic history is created right there and then. Not only is the humour extremely funny it also fits the movie really well, typical QT style.
We all know that QT is a big fan of all sorts of different film genres and this shows especially in Volume 2. Where we had bits of anime in Volume 1, Volume 2 offers a great 70's cinematic style really reminding you of the (often bad and really over the top dubbed) martial arts flicks, it even features the slightly shaky fast zoom into the eyes then zooming out to reveal the entire body accompanied by lots of over the top "swoosh" sounds when they fight or even turn they're head. As in the first this one flicks from colours to black & white to sepia to black & white with just certain objects in colour and offers a great variety of cinematic styles.
Again this movie features some exquisite camera work. There's not flashy matrix style moves but it's the simple and delicately crafted shots that make you appreciate the cinematic style. You will just have to see the camera work to appreciate it, I can't describe it. You will see quite a lot of old western visuals in there too.
Finally, let's spare a thought for the amazing music that accompanies this film, the music is a true masterpiece. It reminds you of the old Sergio Leone movies yet it also features some more modern and memorable pieces of music, certainly ads a lot to the movie. Certainly worth checking out the soundtrack (of both Vol.1 & 2)
Overall, a great and entertaining movie and certainly worth seeing. Better than Volume 1? it's hard to make the comparison because they are that different. If lots of gore, flying limbs and extraordinary fights are you're thing, Volume 1 is perfect. If a more in depth story line, more emotional feeling towards the characters yet still enough action to please the eye is you're thing Volume 2 is perfect so I suppose it's a matter of taste. Comparing the movies on just cinematic movie terms, Volume 2 wins it for being just that little more in depth, don't worry it still features loads of action!
SPOILERS!!!

Towards the end it becomes clear that The Bride's daughter is still alive and lives with Bill (who's the father).
2*
The fight between The Bride and Elle Driver is classic and it's especially good when The Bride rips out Elle Driver's (only healthy) eye out, throws it on the ground and tramps right on it to reveal a shot of The Bride's naked foot (she's got no shoes on) with the bits of the eye squishing in between her toes, very black, yet funny, humour. The Bride then leaves Elle to die (nobody knows what actually happens with her at the end of the movie though...) who's going insane in the pain of having her eye ripped out banging around the bathroom trying to gain some sort of composure.

Kill Bill Volume 2: BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!! 
Tied with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Music and Sound are awesome again. One of the best you'll here ever in a movie. Tarantino obviously knows what he's doing. What a genius.
The Fights are tremendous. No all the blood shown in volume 1, but this time they're classier.
And without spoiling anything, I have to say that I still cant decide which kill was better, Elle Driver's or Bill's. Both were F*CKING AMAZING! :hit:
Pai Mei: the whole training with Pai Mei was excellent, and hillarious. Everytime he grabbed his beard I couldnt stop laughing. Excellent. :funny:
The Hidden Gem: watch (or listen carefully) for someone special in the wedding massacre scene. Just 2 words: BAD MOTHERFVCKER
So yeah, this movie is so good it hurts.
My Rating: 10 out of 10. Tarantino is a GOD
