A great combination of actors and a perfectly twisted plot from Robert Rodriguez. Johnny Depp was amazing as an eccentric CIA agent gone rogue and there were some nice performances from Willem Dafoe and Mickey Rourke. It ties up Desperado nicely and has another story that fit wel...( read more)
Have your good ponits,but the mix of tramas made the rithym of the movie going badly.I want see a movie solo of Deep caracther,hes awesome here!
A film that had Johnny Depp take command, rather than Antonio Banderas. He was made into a secondary character here. I love Johnny Depp's work, but he should of stayed out of the spotlight. His role was too prestigious. Even Salma Hayek was killed off with child. It didn't have t...( read more)
Johnny Depp plays the best character in this movie in my opinion. Bravo, Johnny.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico has its great moments but it?s not as entertaining as desperado!
A concept that still works. Very obscure, but still fits good into the storyline. However, it was strikingly unnecessary.
45/100
I'm sure if I had watched Rodriguez's trilogy in order I might not have liked this one. But I didn't, so I liked it more. The story is a bit contrived, working from the trilogy, but still pretty bad ass in the white male 18-25 range which makes it violently cool.
i wanna play that guitar gun i rather buy that one in mexico. salma hayek so sexy when she appears on the screen.amazing geetar rif from mr banderas. i love the fight scene from the church..streets and mansions.. antonio played so real he gives justice to his character. poor de...( read more)
This movie was lovely,the villian depp was a threat to banderas and beautiful hayes. Is a film to watch.
Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas = Epic! Definitely wanting to watch.
The way this one was done, being a sequel but skipping a part in the overall story, I thought was really cool. Johnny Depp also makes up for the fact that this entry was almost as corny as the preceding.
A tonic comedy of little gestures and significant details, labeled by mistake action/drama/thriller, probably because no one of the crew had the idea to wear a T-shirt with the writing PARODY at the premiere.
the film offers nonstop action and a gargantuan body count, I did enjoy watching this movie but it doesn't make sense the first time around...there is so much going on that the audience often feels as if trying to figure everything out will cause their brains to overheat. up are ...( read more)
what could be better than both Johnny and Antonio in the same flick? Sigh The pure beauty of it all---Especially Johnny Depp (But Antonio is pretty steamy)
This movie sucked. Continuity jumps right out the window with these shit sequels.
An enjoyable cap to the El Mariachi trilogy that occasionally disappoints, but never mars the good name of its predecessors
one of the coolest films ever, once upon a time in mexico shows johnny depp and antonio banderas as quick on the draw hitmen. johnny depp's prosthetic arm is extremely cool, as well. oh and salma hayek is soooo hot.
El Mariachi returns with an even more all star cast in an even more spectacular, spectacular, movie where the plot gets drowned out in the stylism. Lacking the cool factor of Desperado, I wasn't exactly sure what the point of this movie was, other than a chance for Johnny Depp to...( read more)
Over-the-top action comedy. Some silly action scenes, a pretty fun Johnny Depp, no story to be remembered.
I give the flick credit for being entertaining and not to long.
NO need to see again.
This is the second movie in Hollywood's history to be located in the city of Culiacan. Culiacan is a city, but the President (Pedro Armendariz) says that Culiacan is a state of Mexico.
Once Upon A Time In Mexico is good, but not as strong as Desperado. Our hero, El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) barely has any lines. Throughout the movie we forget this talented actor is the star of the movie. The explosive action is incredible, and including Sands (Johnny Depp) is...( read more)
"In my review of 'Desperado,' I praised Rodriguez for his technical skill and creative energy, but said he hadn't learned to structure a story so we cared about what happened. That's still true in 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico'." - Roger Ebert
There are too many things going on i...( read more)
Agent Sands: El, you really must try this because it's puerco pibil. It's a slow-roasted pork, nothing fancy. It just happens to be my favorite, and I order it with a tequila and lime in every dive I go to in this country. And honestly, that is the best it's ever been anywhere. I...( read more)
i admitt that it has a great cast but there is too much gunplay for just one film
Not as good as the second film but it has Johnny Depp in it, need i say more?!
There's more gunplay in the picture than you'll find at any video arcade, with El Mariachi killing 50, 60 80, 100 of the kingpin's henchemen while avoiding hundreds of rounds from a succession of bad guys. We've seen visuals like that how many times? So many that we hunger for a ...( read more)
Johnny Depp's dry, subtle sense of humor comes out boldly in this flick. (Well, I thought so)
Fun to watch over and over just to catch the subtle johnny depp humor.
