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.

What?? Second half, definitely. I never even considered the first half being part of the movie as much as it is rather a prologue.
In the first part we get to know Stuntman Mike and his dangerous antics, and in the second part the movie (finally) gets going. That's how I looked at it.

I like the first half, the store scenes, and the last chase with the beat down afterwards.

Black men and a whole lot of *beep* white men have had plenty fun adoring my ass JUNGLE JULIA

Second Half.
First was only an introduction

I find the 2nd half almost unbearable. Its like Sex and the City with a car chase. And the Kewi's over acting is excruciating.

Definitely the first half, by a fair distance.

First half, definitely.
You actually feel sorry for the first group of girls, but the others? I felt like I wouldn't have cared as much if Mike killed them: not only because they weren't as likeable or realistic, but especially for the way they treated Lee. I did feel sorry for her - the scene itself might have been comical, but her fate most likely wasn't.
