They Spent $67,000,000 to make a Cheap Looking Double feature

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2017)

This was a major box office bomb. The Box Office Gross was $25,000,000 but by the time advertising was factored in it lost over $50,000,000. Now excluding that do we have a good film (s) here? Well "NO".
To me the film goes on way too long. Each of these films should have been less than 90 minutes. Both of them had scenes that went on way too long. There is also the obligatory "Rape" or "Fear of Rape" that Quentin Tarantino puts in his films! This time its in "Planet Terror" and he is the villain Regardless the man is talented but why he puts rape in his films makes me pass on seeing anything else He will do for now on!
"Planet Terror" is the weakest of the 2 films presented here. The story is stupid. I know that was the pint but had this film was made with a low budget film would have worked better.
"Death-proof" is good but goes on way too long. Quentin loves talky talky dialog and again this film would have been better served if the film was made with just 1 or 2 takes. What was so suppose to be a "Low Budget" homage was basically a slick looking action movie that has a 1970's vibe!
The "Fake" coming attractions are very good and work the best. "Machete" was later turned into a real film.
This film was a disappointment for many reasons! Too long being the most irksome!
