This is definitively how this should be watched: no Volume 1 and Volume 2, just the whole thing in one sitting. However, the film's flaws remain. The first half is simply spectacular—entertaining, interesting, and with cinematography that is near-perfect. In these opening acts, the director was already showing glimpses of his future style, which I consider the best of his filmography. But then comes an intermission that, honestly, doesn't make much sense, right at the exact point where Kill Bill: Vol. 1 ended over 20 years ago. After that, it continues with a different timing. The references are largely scaled back, Tarantino returns to his endless dialogue about trivial things, and that’s when it starts to feel sluggish and depressing—to the point where you wish for nothing more in the world than for "The Bride" to kill Bill, or kill herself, or whatever, but please just stop talking. To top it off, the entire second half is totally anticlimactic... BUUUUUUT, without this conclusion, the first half would be incomplete, so it’s worth sitting through the whole thing. Now, new generations will have the chance to experience this story differently than we did back in the day. The movie's big plot twist in 2003 happened at the end of the first part—right in the middle of the story—whereas now it happens toward the end. For that reason alone, I believe this is the only way one should watch The Bride take care of killing Bill.
