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. 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

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.

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

The Desperado is one of those movies that is both a bad and a good movie at the same time. This movie is absolutely hilarious in my opinion.

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

Painfully predictable, possibly entirely ironic, most of the jokes are slapstick and poor quality… shootout scenes are comically exaggerated. Nice to watch but oh my god was it exhausting.
