First off I am a huge fan of Desperado. The movie, acting, direction and action in it was absolutely incredible. So I was elated when I saw the First trailor for this new movie. Now i write this completely disgusted. This... Full review

Rodriguez does not disappoint with this the 3rd installment of "El Mariachi". Told in "true" fable style with intensity, and solid performances by Banderas and Depp. Not a duo one would have credited but they played off one another quite well.... Full review

There is a reason why this movie isnt called Desperado 2. This is a story wich happent in Mexico and Rodriguez just took the characters and place them in this new idea for a movie. Movie on it's own is nothing... Full review

Although the movie had somewhat good acting, it gets mostly F's because Johnny gets blinded by a wench. He was the only actor worth watching and Antonio had enough grease to make a bottle of Crisco. Don't watch this movie unless... Full review

1 negative: The plot and story was a bit sketchy and confusing. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. As expected, the talented Johnny Depp was brilliant as he was quick to toss many witty and humorous remarks throughout the film.... Full review

The third film in the Mariachi trilogy manages the impossible and outdoes Desperado in the excessively silly stakes. This is a mess of a film; an entertaining one, but a mess all the same. If Desperado had absolutely no plot... Full review

To make this short this is a very good movie because it has a little bit of everything. Who could forget Johnny Depp's "Are You A Mexi-can or a Mexi-can't?... Full review

The results are patchy: on the one hand, the stylistics are well funded, so action stunts are given plenty of screen time and production time. Enough, at any rate, to enjoy the rich locations and the rich music, the beautiful cast and the craggy-faced actors playing the 'colourful characters' - all the while suppressing anti-violence feelings. ...

Despite the performance by Depp, the rest of this movie is flat. Once Upon A Time In Mexico" starts out Xeroxing "Desperado" with a Mexican named Bellini(Cheech Marin) telling a tall story about a gunslinging mariachi to an unsavory CIA agent named Sands played by Johnny Depp. ... Full Review

Even the gunplay in the film is sloppy. Salma Hayek shows up only in flashbacks as the slain wife, no doubt to repay a favor to the director who made her famous. Thankfully, over the years, the director has made some good friends. ... Full Review

it could just be Robert Rodriguez's best film after Spy Kids .....Again, Once Upon A Time In Mexico might not be the best film ever made....certainly is a filmmaker who loves to 'cut and paste' the work of previous 'masters....plagues film criticism is probably overly harsh.....Once Upon A Time In Mexico is brimming with Rodriguez's trademark flair and joy in the language of B-grade action flicks..... ...
