Desperado is as much a sequel as it is a remake. It is El Mariachi with a bigger budget and a little more depth. It is more generic, yes, but this makes it more approachable so I think it's a trade-off. I liked it better 20 years ago but it is still entertaining enough, just don`t look for plot holes and stuff. A very good 7.

Selma is so gorgeous in this

To this date, Tarantino's joke at the bar, is my favorite movie joke ever!

Despite all the hype on this film when it was released, I had never watched it. Didn’t live up to its reputation but still decent. I liked seeing so many of the actors from From Dusk til Dawn, some of the action was fun. But the story was a bit on the weak side and some of the action was cartoonish which is sometimes fine but didn’t seem to fit here for me. Not Rodriguez best film but also far from his worst.

This movie doesn't hold up over time - much of it looks kind of silly. But Salma is hot as hell in it, and the song "El Mariachi," performed by Banderas, is now an all-time classic. So, it was worth watching!
