Planet Terror, Robert Rodriguez' half of the movie, was absolutely spectacular. Continues to prove himself as one of Hollywood's best directors.
What in the FUCK was with QT's half???? It was boring as shit. The overbearing and overly long dialogue wasn't even witty, thought provoking, or funny. His half, titled Death Proof, was just not fun at all. I don't know what he was trying to do there. QT is one of my favorite directors, too. Very different than his usual work. I can see myself getting to like it after a while, but it was awkward in the theater. It may take me a while to warm up to QT's half. I think he knew what he was doing, and made his half like he did on purpose (he wanted a change of pace), but coupled next to Rodriguez' zombie movie, it was too much of a change of pace, I think.
I highly recommend the movie, worth the price of admission, but don't expect the usual Tarantino antics in the second half. The 2nd half is an experimentation. RR does the usual great Sin City/Desperado/Once Upon a Time in Mexico stuff in the first half; Tarantino changes his entire style of directing in the second half.
