wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than planet crap!

It worked better in some parts mainly the first part of the movie. What was the reason it turned into modern
day film after the 14months and his recovery from the hospital?
The first part was nice with the 70's style filming.
Then it changed to crisp modern film style, with no grain and heavy shadow.
The lap dance was great as was the part with the car collision from multiple view points.

Was the second film really no good?

Planet Terror is the first film and it is WAY better than Death Proof, Boon is one of the few that actually liked death proof.

This was not meant to be a 2 hour movie. the scenes with the girls nattering were far too long and boring. You could see how it could work as part of the grindhouse package.

The action sequences were great though. russell was great as wass zoe bell.

worth seeing just for the sake of it and for the car chases

great soundtrack as always

If you did not like the dialog then you must not be a Tarantino fan. This movie had some of the best dialog in a movie since Reservoir Dogs.

I would say Kill Bill 1 &/or 2 had a better dialogue.

I am a tarantino fan, but I was expecting more than one car chase and two crashes in nearly two hours.

I can see how this works as a double feature. It just doesn't work for me as a feature film on it's own.

it takes too long at the beginning to take off. Plus I never knew if it was supposed to be set in the 70s until julie took her mobile phone out.

Worth seeing for the second act though

What bothers me about Tarantino is that most of the stuff his characters say you can imagine Tarantino saying.

I agree Kill Bill does have some great dialog, but thats the whole point. Almost all of tarantino's film have fantastic dialog, this one included.

Tarantino hasn't had a good film since Resovoir Dogs

What? you didn't like Pulp Fiction?

Although I think DP & PT are great films, they still should shave released the 2 as 1 film (like in the theaters). The only thing I didn't like is that there is no commentary by Tarantino which always fun to watch. Plus there were no faux trailers like in the theaters. What a gyp!
