WW2 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Well I just got back from seeing "Once Upon A Time In Mexico", a.k.a Desperado 2. The movie continues the story of El Mariache (the Guitarist), a couple of years after the first film. OUATIM, is a pretty good movie, full of stylish gun fight scenes, colorful characters, and some cool guitar cases. But the best thing in the whole movie has to be Johnny Depp's performance, as a corupt CIA agent. Depp plays one crazy SOB, and adds alot of humor to the flick. Oh, and in the end, he really kicks some major ***. So, if you haven't seen it, I highly recremend you do, if you are a big fan of the action genre. And if you have already seen it, tell me what you thought. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinmaru Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I want to see this movie because Johnny Depp is in it and it looks great. However, Antonio Banderas is making me a bit wary...not a big fan of his. I'll probably give the movie a chance, though, because it's looking pretty good.

The Original Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I can't wait to see it. My dad showed me El Mariachi and Desperado when I was about 13, and I really enjoyed them. I don't neccesarily want to see it just because Depp's in it (although he is a great actor, at least in my opinon), but because I enjoy the storylines of the movies. Oh well, I'll end up seein' it sometime. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carr Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I really want to see this one. I thought the first two were hilarious. THOSE GUITAR CASES ROCK! anywhoo, Johnny Depp is a great actor (c'mon, he saved PotC and you KNOW it!) and I think It will be awesome! Oh, and I think Antonio Banderas rocks also. He's a good actor, too. Have you SEEN Zorro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinmaru Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Yeah, actually, I have seen Zorro. Didn't really raise my opinion of Mr. Banderas. Something about him just makes me dislike him. I just find him very annoying. But I'll probably end up seeing this movie, anyway; it looks quite interesting from what I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, saw the movie last night, good stuff, not great but what can you expect. Nothing really lives up to Desperado or El Mariachi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyxe Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=darkblue]Yeah.. me and my sister just saw Desperado a few nights ago. They had made Once Apon a Time in Mexico in 2000, but they decided to wait till now.. I don't remember why though. Anyway, me and my sis'll probably see it when it gets to our town([I]if[/I] it ever gets here). Ha... my sister thought the first one was so funny, I had to admit it was. But she just loved alot of the lines.. as did I. ^_^ Lol.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo the Tamer Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I got back form seeing this a few hours ago. I though it was good. If I say anything I liked about it I'ld spoul alot. Johnny depp was good as CIA agent Sands. Of course everyone else was goo as well. I remember on another forum some poeple were talking about making a movie all about Agent Sands and his strangeness. I liked how the chiuaua(sp?) was named Moco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Think they would come up with an original title. *cough*onceuponatimeinchina*cough*jetli*cough* Excuse me. Phew. But yeah, it looks like a prety cool action flick. Guns and Desperados are always cool with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew. [/B][/QUOTE] Well the title is derived from an old Clint Eastwood, Spagetti Western trilogy, which ended with "Once Upon A Time In The West." Rodregeiz decided to do what they did, and name the third film in the series, "Once Upon A Time In Mexico." At least that's what I read. But you're right, the title is very familiar. They've had "Once Upon A Tiime In America", "Once Upon A Time In China," etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
