Planet Terror



The Good:
I sincerely have nothing good to say about this giant steaming pile of crap.

The Bad:
Oh dear - where to start.

The acting was horrifically bad. If you can call any of what I saw acting.

The effects were cheesy and overdone.

There was no plot, none what-so-ever.

All in all:
There is no reason to even bother with this "film". The actors in it should be ashamed to have been a part of something this horrible. Where Tarantino succeeded with Death Proof in making a tribute film that was also good - Rodriguez failed on all possible fronts. In the opening 2 minutes of the "commercials" prior to the actual movie there were 4 breasts and more blood than in the lawnmower sequence of Dead Alive - and the effect was done just as poorly. The dialogue was retarded, as was the story, if in fact there was a story. Take every good and memorable sequence from a Zombie movie (all of which have been done before) and beef those up with stupidity to take away everything that made them good and memorable. Add to that nonsensical plot points, overdone super poor effects and horrible dialogue - and you end up with this movie. I've watched some bad movies in my time, I've always been able to make it through them - I could not make it through this one. It was so bad - in fact - my husband who will watch just about anything - tried three times to watch it and still couldn't make it through. This was without a doubt the worst thing I have ever seen. Shame on you Rodriguez. Shame.
