What a film. I had so much pure fun watching this that I can't bear to mark it down for it's few faults. If the riduclous plot and a few other minor errors are overlooked, this is damn close to being the best thing ever. I've never seen a splatter film that has everything, and so much of it. Chick with a gun for a foot, the best cast ever for it's genre and general awesome makes this the best film I've seen in a long while. There's so much good here it's hard to say enough for it. Watch it. Now.

By far the superior half of Grindhouse and easily my favorite Robert Rodriguez movie. It's hilarious, gory, and action-packed, it does a brilliant job parodying the bad movies it's concocted from parts of, and Bruce Willis has a hysterical monologue. And Rose McGowan is made of liquid sex and I am in love with her.

I enjoy the quirks of Tarantino. Not as good as Death Proof. Overall, an okay-ish lazy Sunday film with friends. Rose McGowan is incredibly beautiful, even with one leg.

Over the top entertainment. Zombies, blood, beautiful ladies, blood, Bruce Willis, blood, barbecue, blood, biowar, blood, guns, blood, knives, blood, hypodermics, blood, fire, blood, explosions, blood, and yes, more blood. If that's your thing, this will do you good.

Probably unnecessarily high levels of gore and violence are just a couple of factors that make Planet Terror over the top. The editing and aged film effects add a cool style to the film that undoubtedly comes off as funny and weird to viewers unfamiliar with the reasons for making the Grindhouse series, but it doesn't detract from the film. In the end, if you can stomach Planet Terror, it's extremely entertaining monster movie mayhem. Really good!

What the hell. Seriously. What the hell is this movie? It's not so bad it's good, it's just stupid from start to finish. The movie is filled with ridiculous directorial decisions that are just mind-numbing and overall the plot, acting, and feel of the movie just sort of sucks. The gore is needlessly cheesy and ultimately that's the whole draw of a movie like this, making it virtually worthless. That being said, it is at the very least entertaining and easy to watch.

Needs more gore. But seriously, it's more exploitative juvenile crap along the lines of Sin City. This time in the form of a zombie flick, and double-billed with the superior Death Proof as a supposed tribute to old "grindhouse" movies, to which it only harks back in how retarded it is.

Easily the better half of Grindhouse, very few films offer the level of pure visceral joy packed into Rodriguez' zombie opus. It lovingly captures the cheap schlock feel of the material far better than its QT counterpart, and after the non-stop blood-splatter and hilarity of this chapter, a bunch of broads sitting around talking about 60s pop music is just...well, boring. The cast is great (Willis especially), but Fahey and Biehn put it over the top. It's knowingly stupid, but I love it.

It doesn't take itself seriously, and that's why it's amazing. It's over-the-top, and fully revels in the genre. It's obviously made with a love of b-movies, and it shows.

Wild, crazy, over-the-top zombie/mutant film, which successfully pays homage to the tacky, gritty 70s grindhouse genre filtered with a hip, "now" perspective. The "70s film" conceit wears thin at times (it may have helped to actually set it in the 1970s and be done with it) and the stomach churning violence and horror threatens to be repellent, but it is all shot through with a generous dose of black humour which helps keep it palatable. Helped by a game cast who give it their all.

It does try far too hard to replicate the Grindhouse era (and not to much avail) but "Planet Terror" has an amazing cast, great action set-pieces and fantastic gore FX. I think Rodriguez needs to watch a few more Grindhouse films before trying to recapture the spirit once again.

About as subtle as a brick to the face - especially in light of its better half, Death Proof - but it's a fun ride. The problem, if any, is that it screams homage from start to finish, instead of aspiring to actually do its own thing. Entertaining but ultimately slight.

I love the Tarantino/Rodriguez style of exploitation films. It's not even a case of "so bad it's good", it's just genuinely good and well-executed movie, plunging head-in and excessively to all the best bits of action.

Ugh, clearly made for straight dudes. The fact that every single woman that has somewhat of a relevant role in this film is sexualized to no end is wild. I could appreciate some of its wackiness but overall it's just not for me at all.

It's silly and stupid in a way that's very much intentional. I enjoy it for what it is, but in some ways it's a little bit frustrating to watch someone like Robert Rodriguez, who has talent, pay homage to the shitty movies he used to watch. Plus, this movie doesn't age well in the post-Weinstein era.

Buckets of fun, but as far as replicating the feel of a grindhouse movie, it's not very successful. It has too much action, and looks too high-budget, which shines through the digital blemishes on the film.

The best "bad" movie I've ever seen. It was terrible, yet so entertaining. It was also very funny at times. It would've been better if it wasn't as cheesy as it was, I mean the cheesiness level is absolutely absurd in this film. Nevertheless it is worth a watch.

Before this I can't say I've seen any grindhouse or even exploitation flicks (other than the ones that are now tame and mainstream i.e. Dirty Harry) and I now know I'm not interested. A bit of goofy fun, but for the most part it is boring and uninteresting.

Whether it's the better part of Grindhouse is almost completely a matter of taste. The certainty is that it's a hilarious, spectacularly gory, cheesy as fuck (in a good way), and features an excellent/diverse cast. Freddy Rodriguez, Josh Brolin, Marley Shelton and Michael Biehn are all funny as hell. Willis and Fahey add a lot in bit parts, and overall it's a just a fun flick. Surprisingly the whole "Gun-leg" thing is one of the least interesting aspects, and takes a back seat to the humor.

I thought that this half of Grindhouse was the most fun, but I do have problems with it. For one thing, under all of the scratches and bad splices it's a slick looking film, and many of the effects are too good for a movie imitating a b-flick. And "zombies" have been done to death. But it's pretty funny, has plenty of gross-outs, some great characters, and it doesn't bore.

Planet Terror had a lot going for it, and a lot of problems. The hard part about criticizing the movie is that most fans (and probably Rodriguez as well) will argue that its faults were intentional homages to the grindhouse/exploitation genres it was spoofing. To that extent, the movie is hit or miss in a lot of places (most revolving around Rose McGowan), but still constitutes an entertaining ride.
