Once Upon a Time in Mexico / Desperado Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 8 Reviews)

A film made brilliant by one actor
This film is a fun, silly, at a glance three and a half star film. However Johnny Depp, as a mad CIA agent, gets it up to five stars. He is very funny, stylish, suitably psychotic and by the end, though his character is pretty horrible, you feel sympathetic to him and want him to win. The person who wrote the one star review of the film should realise the blood on J Depps face is meant to be styalised. Depp also ad libs tons of great lines. Well done Mr D!

BOTH FLICKS ARE INCREDIBLE!
THIS IS THE NEW 2 PACK RELEASED THIS PAST TUESDAY AND BROTHER, WHAT A RIDE! DESPERADO IS A KILLER OF A FLICK, BUT ONCE UPON A TIME.......JUST TAKES IT A FEW STEPS FURTHER! EVERYONE IS WONDERFUL, AS IS THE HIGH DEFINITION DIGITAL TRANSFER--BUT JOHNNY DEPP AS THE CORRUPT CIA AGENT SANDS, ONCE AGAIN, STEALS THE SHOW! HE IS INCREDIBLE RUTHLESS AND SO MUCH EVIL FUN! THE ACTION SEQUENCES ARE TERRIFIC AS IS WONDERFUL, COLORFUL MEXICO. DO NOT MISS EITHER FILM, OR GO FOR THE HANDSOMELY PACKAGED NEW 2 PACK! THEY BOTH GOT ME SO FIRED UP, I'VE ONLY BEEN WATCHING THEM ONE AFTER THE OTHER SINCE TUESDAY! JUST ORDERED "EL MARIACHI" AT A GREAT PRICE-HAVE NEVER SEEN IT SO I AM EAGERLY WAITING DELIVERY ON MONDAY! I THINK ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ IS A FAR MORE TALENTED DIRECTOR THAN EVEN TARANTINO! HE IS SO VISIONARY, RAW, AND FULL OF WILD IMAGINATION. NOT TO BE MISSED.

Robert Rodriguez Rocks
Robert Rodriguez is the reason why I make movies myself. A self made director, cinematographer, editor, and everything else, Robert proves that if you have a dream you can make it happen. Besides making great movies, the insight into how he makes those movies is worth the price of the DVD alone. He doesn't spend the whole directors commentary telling you the characters and storyline. If a director has to explain the whole story in the commentary, it makes me think that they are not sure that we as an audience got what they were trying to tell us. As for me, I want the director to tell me how they got certain shots or how certain special effects were created, and that is exactly what Robert Rodriguez does. He continues to teach me about movie magic! He makes me feel as though he wants me to learn his secrets and tricks, and as a filmmaker myself, I appreciate it. Other directors could take lessons from this great visual artist. Desperado, Once Upon A Time In Mexico, From Dusk Till Dawn, Spy Kids, The Faculty, are all great examples of Roberts directing and storytelling abilities. Buy the DVD's!
