Summary: A weak conclusion to the trilogy, OUATIM.
Review: This is supposed to be part of a trilogy, but it really is a barely connected duology. I think you can forget about the first movie El Mariachi, interesting only if you figure that the movie cost only $7,500. Amazing really that it should have been a one star, based on cost. But the director created a relatively interesting film, that I would have given 3 stars to, but have to downgrade for violence and language to a 2 star. At best it is a rental if one wishes to see what started it all for this director and what lead into the best of the three, movie, Desperado. Banderas and Hayek were not in the first movie, so I see little to connect it to the other two movies. The second movie in the trilogy is Desperado starring Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek. Made in 1995, it seems to have grown in popularity over the years because of these two stars and the fact that this was a well funded and very well made movie. I liked Desperado enough to purchase it. This is not a family friendly movie. I give it 5 stars, rounded down to 4 stars because of lots of violence, bad language, nudity and simulated sex. But unlike Once Upon a Time in Mexico OUATIM, the banderas character is interesting to watch and rout for. Banderas is becoming one our better action stars not that he has turned in excellent performances in Zorro and the Thirteenth Warrior. The third movie, Once Upon a Time in Mexico OUATIM, of the duology-trilogy is an uninspired, sometimes boring, excursion into senseless violence. I wanted Banderas to survive, couldn't have cared less about the smart-aleck Depp character and the story wasn't clear enough to try and follow. This is a 3 star movie rounded down to 2 stars for violence and language. There was no nudity. Bottom line is that Desperado, the middle movie is a worthy addition to the collection for Banderas fans, the other two are not.

Summary: BOTH FLICKS ARE INCREDIBLE!
Review: 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.

Summary: Whats up with this?
Review: Why didn't they release this DVD with a Spanish audio track? You can watch this great DVD in French and English but not in Spanish, even though most of the cast is probably Mexican. The movie itself is great. The director is amazing. What an omission. The only reason I switched to DVD's is you can watch them in more than one language.
