Well El Mariachi and Desperado are pretty tough to beat. Besides Rodrigez has directed some pretty shody movies aswell I believe.

well, the plot was all over the shot. Johnny Depp was good, but there was too much focus on Antonio Banderas who just wandered around, mumbling and shooting random people, whilst playing a Spanish guitar. And Enrique E-Double_glesias was in it too and was as wooden as an Ikea wardrobe.
Add a bit of confusing fidels saga plot stuff, some Willem Defoe getting his face removed and then getting killed and what you have is one head-scratching confusing movie.
It was entertaining if you like violence, but to be honest the body count was so high that seeing another guy getting shot didn`t provoke any kind of reaction whatsoever, which is always a bad sign. Still, Johnny Depp does a good turn as a corrupt CIA agent.
On a plus side, I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean which was fantastic. Yet another Depp classic. :D
There ya go. theres your goddamn review you bawbag!

I was watching Dead Man (another amazing Depp flick) tonight with my g/f...
I didn't even realize that Neil Young does the entire soundtrack.

i liked the movie.....it was in the robert rodriguez tradition of MEGA over the top violence, mariachi moosique, and ANTONIO......ahhhhh
i found it interesting it was filmed 3 years ago and only JUST released. perhaps because of Depp's turn as ze pirate made such waves? dunno, but he is DEFINATELY back and i'm glad to see it. great comic timing and a great actor all around.
i loved the music....Sands Theme was composed by Depp himself. i ordered the soundtrack, i should have it next week.
it's not a great piece of film, however it IS entertaining!

Now Underworld does look like shite. I must admit Kate Winslet just doesn't appear convincing at all. Real shoddy 'i am actor don't you know' type acting. Not sure about that movie at all.

i really liked "once upon a time...", and i saw it twice last weekend. i liked it better the second time i saw it. I don't think it's better than desperado on a purely action level, but otherwise, i thought is was a bit more epic.
eh, i heard mixed reviews coming from the rest of the audience..
kate winslet is not in underworld. though i agree it looks crap.

she is not in the movie much.
but even though she is not to scantily clad, she is still a knock-out.

i agree it was a little confusing, overall the movie was poorly edited. but i think that's why i liked it more the second time, it just made more sense. [SPOILERS]
I liked the story however. a vengefull, ruthless killer who's actions are almost justified by his mexican patriotism and his devotion to his slain love and daughter. He is noble, killing not exclusively for his own revenge, but also for that of the mexican people. Of course the idea of the "hitman with the heart of gold" is by no means new. But the Rodriguez perspective make it seem fresh and original.
Another thing i like about it is that it is told like a legend, like a fable. Cheech Marin admits in a scene with J. Depp that the story "may have picked up a few embellishments." In fact, the entire movie tells like the kind of story that gets better every time somebody tells it.
yeh, the more i think about it, the more i want to see it a 3rd time.

"Another thing i like about it is that it is told like a legend, like a fable."
Yes.
It was like watching a comic book. The action was almost too ridiculous, but that's what I enjoyed about it.
Fun & funny. Johnny was great.
