Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Grindhouse is both impressive and disappointing. From a technical and craft point of view it is first-rate; from its standing in the canon of the two directors, it is minor. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal The whole thing runs a bit over three hours, goes by swiftly, contains countless film references and includes hilarious fake trailers. Apr 9, 2007 Full Review Claudia Puig USA Today A rowdy jolt of quasi-nostalgic escapism. Rated: 3/4 Apr 9, 2007 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) An outrageously entertaining, slam-bang double feature Rated: 3/4 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) The one thing that became evident to me, while watching Tarantino's homage to sewer cinema, is that even while the flesh is melting and being blown apart with bullets, if the spirit is missing, there simply isn't much point. Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Ali Gray TheShiznit.co.uk Not just a movie but an event in its own right, Grindhouse is simply unmissable in its complete form. Rated: 5/5 Oct 14, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Jason H Planet Terror is great. Death Proof is the only QT movie I don't like. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Nick O Both Planet Terror and Death Proof are modern works of exploitation genius! One zombie gore fest. One high speed car slasher. Put together for the ultimate drive-in double feature. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Jarred F I liked both.....you must look at these movies as homage to late 60s early 70s. In that aspect from an artistic point of view it hits the mark. Violence should always be expected with Tarantino and Rodriguez movies. It's not over the top it's on par with all of thier movies in that way. I love violence and can't understand why people that don't like some brutality would ever watch any of these directors movies. They are well established by now. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review John G Horrible. Threw it in the trash after seeing woman purposefully beaten and killed and then body parts of next violence to women. Sick. Trash. Clearly I did not watch the entire movie but my ex-con friend I was watching with and I agreed, trash. Maybe it had some great action but we did not like taking in horrible to enjoy something later. Eject. Trash. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Ruairi M Intentionally awful movies are often great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Steven L Planet Terror = Good Death Proof = Not Good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
