I give it a 3 out of 5. But it was much like Rodriguez's ....Mexico A lot of style, a lot of flash, but no substance. If this movie was made in the 80's, I could see it being an instant classic. But in 2005? It was meager at best.
It was cool, but it was "music-video" cool. And I can watch that for free on MM or MTV everyday, anyday.
3 storylines in the same town, but only once did they cross patchs (when Hartigan first finds Jessica Alba dancing and Rourke's character turns around). It would have been cooler and much more interesting if it was done like in GO or in parts of Pulp Fiction where the storylines are not necessarily connected, but at least they intersect in time and space, especially given they are happening in the same city.
I give it a not bad. Disappointed, but that's because of the hype. Actually the hi-light of the movie was the trailers (coming attractions). Star Wars III, War of the Worlds and a creepy one "House of Wax". 2005 is going to ROCK for movies. I hope they fair better than this one.
I am going to see this AGAIN this week though. Perhaps in the 2nd viewing I'll get more out of it. I hope so. This movie reminded me so much of Once Upon a Time in Mexico. And that's not a good thing.

yeah i got way more out of it the second time. being an artist, i love movies that are visually appealing, and this was the best i've seen in a visual sense in a long time. it kind of reminded me of **** tracy in that cool comic bookish 50's gagster kinda way.
jeff you suprise me! i can't believe anyone is going to go see house of wax. it looks sooooo lame.
but war of the worlds (i LOVE h.g. wells!! they did the 'time machine' no justice whatsoever) and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy looks awesome...star wars too, i guess. lol.

Yeah, but Paris Hilton and Elisha Cuthbert are in it, so I'll have to at LEAST rent the Wax movie.
I admit it was cool and stylish, but so is a Spike Jonze music video. I was just hoping for more. Also, I'm a HUGE Rourke fan, so he kind of added another star on what maybe have been a 2/5 rating for me. Want a cool Rourke movie, check out "Barfly". very cool. Also he had a cameo in "The Pledge" (the other movie he was in with Del Toro).....now, how does that relate to Kevin Bacon..........?
LOL!

LOL, Jeff I was just going to say the only reason anyone would see House of Wax is because it has Paris Hilton. I was quite disgusted to see her on the cover of Teen Tribute, yeah, we want her as a roll model for the teens. What is her motto for life, "be dumb, blonde, sleep with everyone and you can have everything in life". I hate the woman, if you can call her that, and I hate that all the little 12 + kids are dressed like her.

Its not Paris' fault that kids at 12 dress like that. That responsibility falls back on to the parents that either let them or are absent.
But I agree. She's the dumbest of the dumb and its quite a shame that she's a role model in the slightest.

What's even scarier is that the yellow guy could fins work after Terminator 3. What's even scarier than THAT, is that I saw Terminator 3.
