Thought it was pretty good. I actually thought Selma Hyack was supposed to be in the movie. That was kind of disappointing. Pretty nice fight scenes. Part where Johnny Depp gets his eyes cut out was just wrong. Other than that thought it was ok, not as good as I thought it would be. Some nice twists in it too. ANyone else see it?

selma isnt in this movie??!!!
Nope they show a clip from Desperados where her and Antonio were chained together and had to escape some hotel, it was him having a flashback, and then there is one other flashback he has of her and their daughter getting killed by the general. Thats really it besides the few other real quick snapshots or her face in his memory.

from the preview didn't you think she was gonna be a major role in the movie. And the other one in the movie, can't remember her name, turns out to be a bad guy so Depp didn't even get any play.

I have to agree with hard...Movie was decent. I def expected more from this movie.. The fight scene's were good but that was basically it. You can tell that the movie was lacking a good script, the writer def rushed writing it. With the talent of actors you had in the movie it should of been a great sequel. But over all it was ok....I was very upset with Johnny Depp he usually is know for overwhemling performances but not this time...

Depp has a great sense of humor, nice to see his career taking off.
This is from an AOL article:
In ''Once Upon a Time in Mexico'' (Sept. 12), a sequel of sorts to 1995's ''Desperado,'' Johnny Depp plays a sociopathic CIA agent who hires Antonio Banderas' El Mariachi to sabotage a political assassination on the Day of the Dead. Not surprisingly, Depp -- known for the quirky qualities he's brought to such films as ''Edward Scissorhands,'' ''Ed Wood,'' and ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'' -- had certain ideas about his ''Mexico'' character. ''Before he even got there he called and said, 'I imagine this guy wears these really cheesy tourist shirts,''' recalls director Robert Rodriguez, who admits that he still had no idea what he would be in for.
Before showing up on the set in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Depp called his sister in Florida and had her scour the area for T-shirts with silly slogans like ''CIA: Cleavage Inspection Agency'' and ''I'm With Stupid,'' featuring an arrow pointing below the belt. ''Florida has no shortage of idiotic T-shirts,'' says Depp. ''I was also desperately looking for one of those baseball caps that say ''S---head'' and has a picture of a coil of dookie on the bill.'' Some of Depp's other flourishes for his character included carrying around a Judy Garland biography (''I just kind of figured that this guy might have a sideline obsession with Broadway'') and wearing an assortment of obvious disguises (''That's why I brought along all my wigs and fake mustaches'').
