Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

simonthenixon Okay, I am really excited to review this movie, because it might just be my favorite movie of all time. It's rare to see a movie that so perfectly balances compelling and downright B movie hilarity. Quentin Tarantino is a great writer, and Robert Rodriguez is the perfect director for a movie like this. George Clooney is great at being the rational center of the movie, and I think Tarantino wrote a perfect role for himself. I know he got a razzie nom, but I think that was just for people to hate on him, because this movie is SUPPOSED to be a little ridiculous. I love watching this movie with people who have no idea what it's about, and listening to them guess all the way to the point where Salma Hayek goes full vamp. Greatest response was from one of my friends who said "Well...that would make for some interesting dinner conversation." right after it happened. It just goes crazy, and I love every second of it.

christopher-underwood The script is good, the direction spot on and the performances from Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, even Quentin Tarantino and particularly Juliette Lewis, are excellent. Its just that however tight and exciting the first part is and however daring and innovative and special those special effects are, things could do with a little trim towards the end. I can imagine how excited everybody involved was at the chance to create every sort of vampiric being and then have them die in all the ways we have ever seen and then some. But, it can become a little waring, there is such a thing as overkill and for the viewer, who is not drunk or drugged, there is just too much. It is a shame because not only is the first half so good but the whole idea of the biker bar, strippers and vampires also good, even if a little reminiscent of Vamp, featuring Grace Jones as the mistress of ceremonies. So, all good but just a little too much even if it does all glow and glisten so wonderfully on Blu-ray.

jade-howells From Dusk Till Dawn is a film that I have thoroughly fallen in love with after a few watches. Originally skeptical on my first watch, deciding to give it another chance from a different viewpoint has left me appreciating the film for what it is: a fun action horror romp that shouldn't be taken too seriously.Initially dismayed that the two halves of the film (the first half with the criminal brothers fleeing to Mexico with the kidnapped family, and the second fighting vampires within the bar) felt like they were duck-taped together, upon re-watches I find that it works surprisingly well, and by the end of the film the sudden twist is actually pretty funny. The script works well, as within the first half you feel the danger that the criminal brothers Seth and Richie Gecko (played by George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino respectively) poses to preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his family and the second half their fight against the vampires turns the film into a fun horror movie with some strong practical effects and quite cheesy parts that makes the second half all the more fun since it feels like the films wants you to have fun along with it.All of the characters work pretty well and the actors, particularly George Clooney and Harvey Keitel, do bring in good performances. The weakest actor would probably be Quentin Tarantino, but his performance does allow you to believe that he is his character and doesn't bring down the film. The side characters, played by Tom Savini and Fred Williamson are a delight to watch, and when talking about characters, Salma Hayek has to be mentioned for her character Santanico Pandemonium, probably the most iconic part of the film, so much so that when Netflix had created a TV show based on the film, Santanico is often on all the posters and promotional materiel.While part of me still laments the fact that the two parts of the film are not their own entities, I still enjoy the movie the film for what it is and have a damn fun time watching it.
