First Half vs. Second Half


I love this movie I think this alongside Planet Terror were just amazing. My biggest problem with this movie is that the first group of girls are so unlikable. They are all stuck up and,"too good." They were weak and I'm assuming that's why they were killed like nothing. The second group are just the type of badass girls that don't come along often. They don't just get over it and the fact that their still alive, they fight back which is misunderstood by most audiences.

I like the whole movie, but the first half of it was much better. That's just my own personal humble opinion.

The vibe of the 1st half is great. But, the 2nd half being sort of a tragedy of Stuntman Mike and the whole exploitation girl power stuff makes the movie,plus the car chase is boss.

The first half is brilliant. The second half, on the other hand, is brilliant. But in another way, since the tables eventually get turned. The whole movie's just a fantastic ride from start to end!

The whole damn movie is awesome. Some of you complaining about too much dialog have obviously not watched alot of QT's films.

Utah! Get me two.

Love the setting and atmosphere of the first half. Not to mention that badass opening. It also has more (and better) character interaction. As individuals I like the girls in the second half more but aside from the chase their half pretty bland. Of the first group Jungle Julia, with her fine, incredible legs having self, was the only one I found to be a bit too in love with herself. On the other hand I thought her exchange with Stuntman Mike was cool. As was Arlene's. Actually that entire scene outside the bar was great.




Back off! ... Way off!

I liked the slasher-like feel of the first half. The second-half was funny and awesome with girls kicking his ass, but I wanted more slasher. lol

You love me more than sunny summer days.
