    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    Better than first but you have to see the first

    More violent but way more interesting than the first. But, if you want to see this movie you msut see the first to connect it all and why not? Just go rent them both.

    Not very violent compared to the 1st

    Wow Tarintino. What a disappointment. You created the first Kill Bill, an awesome mix of awesome, over the top fight scenes and engaging dialouge. In this sequel, he scraps both those elements, creating a boring, anti-climactic film that is not nearly as clever as the writers think it is. So Quientin, you have yet to live up to Pulp Fiction.

    Kill Bill Vol. 2 is an amazing film! I disagree with Common Sense Media, I didn't think it was nearly as violent or over-the-top as the first. There were bits of horrifying violence, but not nearly as much as Vol. 1. This is a wildly entertaining, stylish, and cool film. I loved it!

    Better than the first one!

    An awe-striking film thats better than the first volume and keeps your attention. Sex: Some references. Violence: Less abundant but more gory. Also more scary. Squished eyeballs, being buried alive, etc. Language: Same as the first. Heavy. Drugs: Brief use of cocaine. Smoking and Drinking. Overall: Amazing film! Less sex, but harder to watch violence and one case of drug use. Language is the same. Pause for 15+

    It's good artsy fun!

    This film needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

    As an adult reviewer and cinofile, I think it was a great movie for adults, probably not for kids. Quentin Tarantino, created an original and fun adventure with an absolutely awesome woman hero, who will do anything to re-unite with her daughter.

    A very animal instinct struck me. I don't think this film is meant to be taken too seriously, I think Quentin sees it as a sort of comedy.

    This film will be most favored by those who appreciate film as art, and have an evolved sense of viewing.

    SICK!!!

    What a sick flick! I feel sick to my stomach from watching it. I don't think most of my friends would feel much different.

    Deeper and better than original!

    The Bride (Uma Thurman) is back and ready for 'The final cut!'. Quentin Tarantino's tale of just revenge comes to an end in the magnificent second volume, which is deeper and better than the original. Also, get the tissues ready: the last 10 minutes are suprisingly sentimental!
