Movie Reviews of Grindhouse Presents, Planet Terror - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: YE-HAW!
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie was old-school awesome. I love the style and film quality and the story line is excellent. Rodriquez blew Tarantino's movie away. And personally, I hate when Tarantino does Cameos in his and his friend's movies. This movie could have done without his mug.
But anyway, gore-filled mutant zombie attack plot with many add-ins, cheese, and awesomeness.
Movie Review: zombie horror schlock at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
A hilarious movie with georgeous, sexy, Rose McGowen who is amazingly agile. Everyone in this movie is great and they do it all with a straight face - even Bruce Willis. There's lots of disgusting dripping, oozing sores with blood and body parts flying. Robert Rodriguez is in rare form with this one!Movie Review: Soon to be Cult Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this in the theaters and just had to buy it once it came out! Its sure to be a cult classic someday!Movie Review: "Lets see how fast your friends work"
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't get me wrong, "Planet Terror" is a fun film. But, it is not "amazing", "terrific" or even "awesome" as I keep reading in so many other reviews. This film is exactly what it set out to be; a cheesy take on 70's drive-in films, with one huge exception: Unlike those films in the 70's, which were cheesy due to a low budget, it's very obvious that "Planet Terror" had a larger budget, but choose to go the cheesy route, possibly thinking it would be more entertaining. I found it lazy. There is no plot, no attempt to give ANY of the characters a persona and possibly the worst dialogue I've seen in a movie. There are so many spots where it becomes so obvious that the script is meant to be bad, that it loses the whole point and "campness" that make films of this nature enjoyable.
Going back to the characters for a second, I'd like to point out that this is what I found to be most disappointing about this film. I never cared for a single one of them. I never cared if they died, if they lived, nothing. None of them are likable and that is really because none of them are defined. You just have a bunch of people. One is a mother, one is a go-go dancer, one is a sheriff, one is a BBQ chef and that's all you get. Answer me this, how can a horror movie succeed if the audience never feels scared for the characters in the movie????
This movie is not a complete waste though. The gore is probably the one area of the film that truly excels. The way the film was shot was, for lack of better words, "cool". I love the grainy footage that is splashed in throughout the film. The action is great, especially at the end. But, again, here is another problem with the characters; they almost seem invincible, especially el-ray and peg leg. How am I supposed to be scared for them when they can't seemingly be hurt?
Anyway, the film is entertaining, but nothing that I will ever watch again. I'm a huge fan of cheesy horror(check my reviews for proof), but I find something sad about purposly making a big-budget film for the purpose of cheese.
