Summary: If you love Salma...
Review: The flick features the most entertaining opening to a movie ever. It's hilarious, exciting, action packed, it's got Cheech and Steve Buscemi, and it psychs you up for the rest of the film. It's a solid action flick and if you love Salma Hayek, this is one of her early American flicks so of course the director talked her into getting naked, even if it's just a glipse, it's worth it.

Summary: A Shoot 'em up thriller
Review: This was a great action movie with a lot of bullets flying everywhere and some amazing action scenes paced throughout the film. Antonio Banderas brings back memories of Eastwood's "Man with No Name" movies and does a wonderful job in the film. This film would make a fine addition to any action collection.

Summary: Just say DesparadNO!
Review: This is one of those movies that made for great trailers in the theaters but fizzles fast when you watch it. There are maybe 3 bits in this movie that work. The best is Quenten Tarrintino's cameo. A lot was made of the violence but it looks mostly like 2nd rate John Woo.The action scenes don't deliver the tenseness necessary to get your heart pumping.This is because they look pretty but have no credibility,they're almost silly. Watch it for Salma Hayek(MMMMMm...Salma) or rent El Mariachi, the original and far superior film

Summary: What's not to like about this...?
Review: Bad boy Banderas has deep attitude all over in this one. He always does "deep attitude" and brooding well...Selma Hayek is great to look at, although she coulda acted less helpless here...the stylish Rodriquez directing reminds me of John Woo's technique...and the opening 10-15 minutes--Steve Buscemi's set-up--has got to be one of the great film beginnings of all time. One of the best action films ever made.

Summary: You can't call it 'middle of the road', certainly . . .
Review: Leave your brain at the front door and your cynicism in the next county, because 'Desperado' is simply a comic-book action film, little more or less. Style is the order of the day, and Rodriguez provides it in spades, with all his cast backing him up marvellously. The Tarantino factor seems a little misplaced, substituting gore for the normally balletic qualities of the showdowns, but the presence of the actors pulls it off with style. Simply put, this movie is what it is - fantastical action/shoot-out stuff, with hardly a thought spared for realism. And that, in the end, will determine your reaction. But let's face it - it's a great ride. At the end of this review, some mention should be made of Ms. Salma Hayek. Insert your own thoughts here. This reviewer's jaw is still being fork-lifted from the floor.

Summary: One of the greatest action movies ever!
Review: Plain and simple, this is one of the best action movies of all time. This movie is so good, it makes Antonio Banderas look like a good actor. Plus how can you argue with Salma Hayek!

Summary: Awesome DVD especially for surround sound systems
Review: The sound makes this movie. It is a turn-your-brain-off-kill-em-all-let-god-sort-em-out revenge flick. It has enough stereotyping and one-liners to make even Arnold cringe. It was a lot of fun. The soundtrack aggresively uses the surrounds which makes this DVD a good one for the "why do you need all these speakers?" questions. This movie was great, in fact, a half an hour later I was hungry again :)

Summary: Artful fantasy film featuring the hunk of all fantasies
Review: The chemistry between Antonio Bandaras and Salma Hayek is stunning, and the casting of all characters nothing less than genius. It is hard to look away from the screen for even a moment. There is almost a sort of comic-book hero feel to this film and when the men and bullets fly, you feel as though you've looked through a true artist's eyes.

Summary: THE WORST MOVIE EVER!
Review: RODRIGUEZ IS NOTHING BUT JUST AN OLIVER STONE WANNABE, WHO THINKS THAT ANY MOVIE WITH BLOOD AND SHOOTING CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. VIOLENCE WITH NO SENSE, POOR EFFECTS, AND ALSO I HAVE TO MENTION THAT BANDERAS IS THE WORST ACTOR I'VE EVER SEEN. IN A FEW WORDS, I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS MOVIE AS A POOR MEXICAN FLICK.

Summary: Desperado is an English word- Off Topic
Review: 4 stars as not to upset the films rating. A viewer from Mexico City, Mexico , July 7, 1999 states that desperado is not an English word, well it is in my Websters dictionary- a bold or reckless criminal. Also, the commment that desesperado in Spanish means hopeless- I disagree. It means desperate.
