From Dusk Till Dawn

Rating:
Summary: Dusk Till Dawn is a great movie!
Review: This is by far the best movie i've ever seen. The whole scenario is portrayed so well that you get caught up in it quite easily. The lines are great, and the characters are unforgetable. The camera angles were equally as great as the cast of characters. Overall this was a great movie!

Summary: YUCK!
Review: Wow--whatta bad movie! I know Rodriguez and Tarantino were intentionally trying to make a bad, campy movie, but I think they were a little bit too successful. The Gecko Brothers are so despicable that you don't want to get to know them, and Tarantino's such an incredibly annoying, yapping, sadistic little twerp, you can't wait until his character dies (the highlight of the movie--next to the the end credits!). Auf! Just plain awful and tacky--rent the movie instead.

Summary: Whatever You Do, Don't Take This Movie Seriously
Review: I loved this movie! Yes, it was mindless, dumb, special effects were cheesily gory and the acting was off and on...but hey, I was thoroughly entertained! Think of this as a Zucker Brothers (Airplane!) version of a vampire movie. Do NOT take it seriously...just turn up the volume and enjoy the campiness! It's hilarious and action-packed. The only drawback was a lame attempt at character profiles. Yes, the two main brothers are psycho criminals but when we try to put any spin on their relationship and how totally screwed up one of them really is it tries to be serious and lags the movie's true spirit.

The Gecko brothers are so despicable, you don't want to get to know them, and Tarantino is such an incredibly annoying, yapping, sadistic little twerp, you can't wait until his stupid character dies (the highlight of the film--next to the end credits!). Auf! Just plain awful, but if you like T&A, I guess this film's for you.

Summary: get it!
Review: A pretty cool movie, Im no fan of vampire flicks but this is flat out entertainment.Ridiculous in the same sense as Evil Dead, but actually has a story and some good character development.You will not know what is going to happen next as the movie goes on.This is worth buying and not just renting.

Summary: Pretty Lame
Review: The beginning of From Dusk till Dawn is cool and the acting, story and everything are great. But from those vampires thingy... that was pretty lame. they should've made anothre plot.

Summary: Great exploitation film. Repeat: EXPLOITATION!
Review: A lot of folks have trouble with this film. They are turned off by the over-the-top violence, mayhem, and sex. What they don't understand is that it is nothing more than a really well-made exploitation film. Remember those? Movies which had no higher agenda than providing plenty of fun, cheap thrills, like gratuitous sex and violence? Many of them were made in the late '60s and throughout the '70s? Like Women In Prison films? Blaxploitation? Car-racing movies? Slasher films? Russ Meyer movies? Anyone? Well, for those who DO remember, and who don't need every flick they see to contain lofty statements about the nature of mankind and the universe, you will love this movie. The cast is great: I mean, come on, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Fred Williamson... even Quentin, who can't act, is utilized effectively. Clooney has a great role which no one seemed to appreciate, Hayek does a lewd dance with a snake which will make your shorts explode, and Cheech Marin is, as always, a laugh riot. This film is at fever pitch every step of the way and contains plenty of Rodriguez camera-acrobatics and clever Tarantino dialogue. Please understand, people, this film IS trash. Good, fun, doesn't-take-itself-at-all-seriously trash! God love it!

Summary: 10 Best--but please, don't think it's because of the gore.
Review: If you managed to make it through the other reviews, great. I fully expected this movie to suck, and hated that I knew it was all about vampires because of the reviewers cringing over the gore. But when you watch the film, you realize that you want to see what will happen to these people, and you're not sure you want to see the brothers escape the U.S. or not. Just that interest alone should compel those who have seen the movie to like the writing. Then, when you know FULL well what's coming as Tarantino drips, you can't know when or how the movie will resolve itself. In typical Tarantino/Rodriguez fashion, it ends with less of a wrap-this-baby-up finality, but more of a real resolution, than you expected if you grew up watching "serious" TV drama before the advent of NYPD Blue and Law&Order. I put this in my top ten, with Casablanca, The Quiet Man, and the Princess Bride, because it's a movie that you can watch and never see what's coming, even when you KNOW it's coming. Writing for suspense is a lost art that eventually will make it back into the mainstream. Usual Suspects and The Sixth Sense are two movies that have done a fine job of pushing on the wave Tarantino blew up from a ripple with this film and his others.

Summary: Fun fun movie
Review: This is a fun movie, especially for Tarentino fans. The effects are great, and the actors are well suited. Highly recommended

Rating:
Summary: Silly plot, poor acting, lots of violence.
Review: It's not the worst vampire film I've ever seen but it't not that good either. Lots of pointless violence in a remarkably silly plot with acting that's so-so at best.
