Audience Reviews for Grindhouse

    Loved the movie as a whole; the blend of Rodriguez and Tarantino go hand in hand with each other. It really doesn't seem like it's longer than 3 hours at all....it goes by in a flash. The acting was good, both plots were original, and the killing/blood scenes were on point as usual with Tarantino. This movie is different from anything you've probably seen before, and it uses that freshness to its advantage.

    This is great fun for movie fans who have spent many hours in sticky-floored, smoke-filled movie theaters in the 70s watching low-budget schlock films. The filmmakers of Grindhouse have paid a loving (and sadistic) tribute to those movies.

    Tarantino and Rodriguez come together for an awesome kick ass grindhouse double feature. The trailers were hilarious and inspired later films like Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun. The first feature was Planet Terror which I think was the better half of this film. It was as funny as it was action packed. It truly was a typical grindhouse. It was followed by deathproof. Which is a man with a deathproof car killing teenagers. It was a little slower moving but still a lot of fun. I watched this on a late Saturday night and I truly felt like I was in a drive in 70s theater. I highly recommend this.
