This movie is amazing, the acting, the guns, the action; it's all there. Simple storyline, the main character kicks ass. This is a bit of a hollywood clichÃ© I guess, but it's still a very enjoyable film.

" Crazy.......fun Sexy , Great Effects". Robert Rodriguez is gotta be number one director , writer , editor in the history of film making (same with Tarentino). Starring Antonio Banderas plays a new version of El Marachi i have to say he" Crazy.......fun Sexy , Great Effects". Robert Rodriguez is gotta be number one director , writer , editor in the history of film making (same with Tarentino). Starring Antonio Banderas plays a new version of El Marachi i have to say he is pretty good at also working with Salma Hayek. Rodriguez's films are over ratted but there one hell or a ride , his films have impressed me and he is the king of adventure , comedy , violence ( i wonder if he made GTA ?) ....... nah. all of this explosions in film with the guitar cases with the stunts its pretty epic. Its one Director Robert Rodriguez's best. Grade A+… Expand

Perfectly stylised, a great Tarantino cameo, ad Buschemi is fantastic as always. The action scenes are a lot of fun, and both Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas ooze a ridiculous amount of sex appeal. What's not to love?

El Mariachi simply was a better film in every respect than Desperado. It had better story, better dialogues, was more fun. For me Desperado is an artistic flop and a significant step backwards from El Mariachi. I am glad that this fact is El Mariachi simply was a better film in every respect than Desperado.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The same "penis gun" that Sex Machine uses in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) can be seen in this movie in the guitar case when Carolina looks inside it. The Mariachi says "it's saved my life many times". That film was also directed by Robert Rodriguez and also starred Salma Hayek.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Typical cliche revenge flick, the film has its good moments but the whole film just falls flat at the end, the climax is just stupid, El mariachi simply pulls out his sleeve guns and kills the main bad guy after they have a conversation and then it just ends and he is with his girlfriend heading off somewhere into the sunset not revealing what happened in the rest of the gunfight where at least 10 bad guys are pointing a gun at him. What i enjoyed most were the scenes with Tarantino and steve buscemi who are the best actors in the film by far and there scenes were memorable and funny but they get very little screen time which is a shame. The story is weak very weak and the main character is uninteresting, the gunfight scenes are not that creative. The film goes completely insane at the end when one has a rocket launcher guitar case which is just stupid, i know im suppose to laugh at that but i just dident. The film is just not enjoyable to watch and gets a bit repetitive and boring. It starts well the first 30 minutes are pretty good but the rest is just a mess. If you like westerns and action then give it a watch its not all bad. This film just about avoids negative on the fact it has some good scenes and some good actors are in it, also i like the soundtrack but all the songs sound the same.… Expand

Though I love his work on the Sin City films, particularly the first, his incredible earlier trilogy will always hold a special place in my cinephilic heart.

My recent project of coming to terms with classic Westerns has only further helped me enjoy these more recent contemporary releases.… Expand

It doesn't come close to El Miriachi, but the sequel will definetly still be suitable for any action fans of the first.

Desperado, by Quentin Tarantino, is a stylized revenge flick and homage to to the so-bad-its-good El Mariachi movie. It should be easier to appreciate what Tarantino is trying to do in Desperado if you watch El Mariachi before.

The performances are more professional, the dialogue is more memorable, the action is unforgettable, and even the campiness is played up to a much more successful degree. And things haven't exactly been ramped up in terms of budget this time around either, still proving that you can make a worthwhile action film without breaking the bank.… Expand

Fortunately for the movie, the acting, the shootout sequences and the violence were all good enough to support the film and make it at the very least a little bit enjoyable. If you liked "El Mariachi" or if you're a fan of Rodriguez's filmography, you will probably enjoy the movie.… Expand

A classic action from 90s with a Mexican theme, starring Antonio Banderas, and some funny visual effects.

This movie is absolutely hilarious in my opinion. If this movie was made ironically, I would give 10 hands down. But because it isn't, it leaves me with mixed feelings. Desperado is a good movie as long as you can take it as a joke. If you don't, well, then it's not.

Desperado is a good bad movie. Would recommend for a comedy night, but for being the purpose it is, it's bad.… Expand

Antonio Banderas stars in this 1995 action film that came out the same year as Assassins which also starred Banderas alongside Sylvester Stallone and Julianne Moore.... Made in 1995 by director, Robert Rodriguez you could say DESPERADO isAntonio Banderas stars in this 1995 action film that came out the same year as Assassins which also starred Banderas alongside Sylvester Stallone and Julianne Moore.... Made in 1995 by director, Robert Rodriguez you could say DESPERADO is violent, infact too violent but that's not the problem with this film. It has so many stupid parts like Danny Trejo's character throwing knives at people without any real explanation and he's a crap shot at it too which is embarrassing... The main villain named Bucho is camp as they come and it's all very stupid. The only decent people in the whole movie are Antonio Banderas and the sexy Salma Hayek and some of the acting is overacted or we get stupid characters and Quentin Tarantino's short role in Desperado was awful so he should stick to directing because he sure can't act... Desperado contains violence, bad language, nudity and sex but the sex is probably the only reason to watch it.. Too violent and silly.. Assassins made the same year as Desperado by Richard Donner was a much better film.… Expand
