well, i liked the movie a lot. but, i haven't seen el mariachi or desperado. i didn't kno they were the prequels (is that even a word?) til after i saw OUATIM.

"El Mariachi" was pretty boring, "Desperado", kind of quirky, but flat. The only entertaining part, IMO, was

Spoiler:
during shootout at the end with the 3 Mariachi vs Bucho's cronies. The rocket launching guitar case, genius. Odd contraption, easily outdone by the machine gun case, and Enrique Iglasias' flamethrowing case, but cool nonetheless.

Just wasn't enough to grab my attention, and IMO, OAATIM is still the best of the trilogy, of course thanks to Mr. Depp.

Johny Depp looks so different from in this film from than from POTC I hardly recognized him.It was a good action flick tho and worth checking out.I loved when Johny Depp shot that cook in the beggining 🙂

yeah that was funny...his character was a really weird guy! i liked him!!! a lot!! lol...

I liked that scene in particular where him and Antonio meet for the first time really a great scene 🙂

yeah yeah yeah!!! with the pork...an sands looking kinda lovably stupid in his big hat and whatnot...he's so funny!

I didnt get that tho was Johny Depp putting Antonio on about it being the best pork or was Antonio just saying that?

hmmm? no johnny was crazy about the pork...i don't really kno what ur asking tho...sorry...sleepy

You know when Johny said its the best pork he ever tasted and then when Antonio tasted it he spit it out...who was fooling who?

i think antonio was fooling johnny...i think sands really was crazy about that pork!

Oh ok 🙂

the only reason to watch this movie at all, is for a few jhonny depp momments when he goes blind. The entire movie was long, boring and repetetive from previous movies. The story was complete rubbsih, it all seemed like a bad parody of desperado

It was ok 3.5/5 for me 🙂 nothing I havent already seen but hey there are few new movies that are original and show something that audience hasnt already seen 😉

It was a bit of a spin off from its predecessor's, but still an entertaining one. Desperado would have to be the best of the three, but Depp certainly brought this movie up, as well as some smooth action set-pieces. Banderas was particularly dour, strangely, which really let things down a bit. But all in all, a watchable action flick. 3.5/5

I only got 2 c half of it coz my friend kept talking the whole way through it

did any of you watch "el mariachi" and/or "desperado" before you saw this one?

I didnt and still havent 😕

yeah me either...but i liked it all by itself...johnny was sooo hot!!!!

Yeah you dont have to watch the first two to enjoy or even understand this one 😉

yeah i did enjoy it! a lot! i'll admit, it had a lot to do with johnny depp...but it was still really good!

The majority of my satisfaction from the movie came from depp which is sad and good in a way 🙂
