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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Planet Terror is a fun film to watch, and was probably even more fun to make. I see the appeal in paying homage to 80's exploitation films, but the thing is, some of them were so bad that watching them isn't an enjoyable experience. Planet Terror seems to have found the right mix between being terrible and being brilliant, with enough laughs and entertainment scattered throughout to keep me entertained. Unless you detest B-movies, I say give it a look.

For a film with a lot of cool stuff going on in it, it sure is boring. Why make a homage to exploitation flicks when you're not even going to bother improving on them (except for increasing the budget)? There's no parody, or subversion, or anything original -- it's just an empty 90 minute wink-nudge. This film isn't alive, it's just re-animated.

I was promised zombies and action, and i got a mildly exploitative boring film with hardly any zombies and not the usual zombies. The 70s look and editing just don't work. None of it really works. Dialogue and scenes are often intentionally bad, but it just comes across as boring. I usually appreciate so bad it's good films, but this just doesn't work, or isn't for me.

It ticks all the boxes a film of this style should: palpable suspense, fantastic lines, uproarious humour, strong action, OTT moments, a slew of memorable characters, very good acting, pounding score, visuals that fit like a glove, and lots of gore. Had it kept up the same energy in the final act and maybe paid more attention to Bill and Dakota, who fall by the wayside, it would've been great: instead, it gives in to explanations and an emotional closure when its very DNA defies those elements.

(Viewed in 2015): Grindhouse was always going to be a hard sell because it's a tawdry throwback driven by geeky adolescent impulses. Unlike QT, Rodriguez is honest (i.e shameless) about his intentions with P.T and isn't pretending to subvert expectations of trashy drive-in fare. On the other hand, the obvious post-production tinkering to achieve 'aesthetic authenticity' results in complete contrivance. Luckily Rodriguez delivers gory aplenty, and his cast are enthusiastic accomplices.

Not really my thing. Enjoyable and full of action, but really 500% over the top. In the beginning it looked great, but after a while this became frustrating.

The better of the two Grindhouse films. Doesn't take itself to seriously which makes it a better watch then Death Proof.
