Do you like watching a 40-something man masturbate? Then you'll love Death Proof. Tarantino made this movie so he'd have something to wax on/wax off to those Friday nights Uma Thurman already has plans. Long, drawn-out, profanity-laden dialogue sequences? Check. Samuel L Jackson-esque preachy characters? Check. Director cameo that is longer than it should be? Check. Obscure songs from the 60s that you don't know, therefore you suck? Check. Random appearance by bespectacled Asian girls? Check.

This movie is split into two parts. Part one is about wanting to fuck a sexy twenty-something so hard her legs fly off. Part two is about getting fucked by a sexy twenty-something so hard your legs fly off. You win some and you lose some, I guess.

Very thrilling. Russell was terrific as Mike the Stuntman. It had a terrific atmosphere, it seemed like it was also frightening even thought Russell was barely in it. Very intense car chase. Definitely worth a watch.

The only thing worse than hating 90% of the characters in a movie is when 90% of the movie is them having pointless dialogue that has nothing really to do with the movie at all and seems more like an attempt for the writer to show the audience how witty he is. There is not one character in the two groups of girls I liked one bit. A cool crash scene (that fortunately annihilates Group 1 of annoying girls) and a chase scene that has a few cool moments are the only thing worthwhile this movie has.

Fucking loved it! Thank you Quentin Tarantino for writing some exciting, badass roles for women in recent years; it's great therapy for those of us who are fucking sick of seeing women constantly written as dull, humorless, marriage-hungry baby-chasers that we can't possibly relate to in any way.

While not a bad film, this is obviously the low point in Tarantino's filmography. That's partly because while while his previous pictures have all built off of one another artistically, this one seems more like a one off experiment--more akin to his chapter in Four Rooms or his tv work. Here he's fascinated with giving his dialogue to younger women characters, although the nuance of Kill Bill is lost. The good action sequences make for a marginal recommendation, especially for completists.

Dude, did they just leave Mary Elizabeth Winstead behind to get raped? Uh. That aside, a fine piece of entertaining, trashy fun. It feels far more an actual film than Planet Terror, which is almost cloyingly indulgent of its own excesses and homage; Death Proof isn't a pastiche, it's a spiritual successor to an era. And a very well-made one at that.

Terrible! Absolutely terrible! The dialogue is awful, the acting's bad but not in a call back to the 70s exploitation movies sort of way, Tarantino's acting is even worse and the car chases are unexciting. I have nothing against real, old exploitation movies but this is nothing but pointless adolescent garbage.

Seemingly concocted in order for the filmmaker to be able to include a collection of his favourite things for his own pleasure and profit, this suffers as usual from this director's rather juvenile preoccupation with "cool", but does lead up to a stunt sequence that is genuinely amazing and exciting.

Massive thrill-ride from Tarantino. While it may lack the complexity of Tarantino's other work, it more than makes up for it with action and a snappy script. The casting is perfect and despite being a film that has a brash and loud exterior there are some lovely subtle touches here too. Massive fun!

It's talky and boring, and lacks the wit or humor of Pulp Fiction or the style and pacing of Kill Bill. If I didn't know this was conceived by Tarantino, I'd think it was a poor attempt to emulate him.

Tarantino knows a little secret: If you aim to make a trashy film, you're going to pump it up to the max and you will go all the way, no compromises. And that is exactly what he does here. Ignore the idiotic naysayers who thought the long bridges of dialogue ("people talking!", they say in disgust) were just boring and that the last car chase came in too little too late and give them the finger. Tarantino can certainly write and managed to make one of the most exciting films this year. Grand fun

I found the first half of the film to be almost unbearably dull, with nothing happening other than awkward and utterly pointless dialogue that I suppose is meant to pass for casual conversation. While this may be true to the spirit of old-fashioned grindhouse cinema, that doesn't change the fact that it's capable of inducing coma. This is almost completely made up for, however, by a pretty spectacular stunt sequence at the climax. The viewer's challenge is to stay awake long enough to see it.

Awesome female revenge movie! Some of the dialog in the first part is pretty brutal, but once you get past that the movie picks up a lot of speed. That car chase was fucking intense! One of my recent favorites. I can't believe some people actually preferred Planet Terror. I guess this needed more gun-leg and minibikes or something.

Death Proof could have probably been fifteen minutes long and just as good as its two hour cut. It's incredibly dull for the large majority of the film, focusing on stupid dialog rather than the only interesting element, Kurt Russel and his car Death Proof, for like an hour and a half. The final scene is pretty well done, and it's very exciting, but it's too little too late. Death Proof could very easily be Tarrantino's worst movie to date.

Death Proof is not a film for everyone. Viewers need a basic understanding of old grindhouse/exploitation films (if you know who Toxie is, you're good to go), a general acceptance of Quentin Tarantino films, and some patience. If you have all of those traits, Death Proof can be an extremely fun film. Aside from occasionally annoying banter, something Tarantino often overdoes, Death Proof is... Really good!

I enjoyed a bunch of things on a 'cinematic' level (oh god that sounds so douchey): subverting expectations about the time period in which it takes place, more than once. Going from slasher to a 'Faster Pussycat' flick, and the feeling we're watching two different stitched-together movies (which would explain the cast switcheroo). Sure, there's a lot of babbling and I felt some parts were miscast, but Russell was fantastic and the driving stunts were cool.

Okay, honestly, I really like Death Proof. I find the understated comedy hilarious (for example, the fact that the first set of characters is introduced so thoroughly for so long and then just slashed abruptly out of the movie for another set of characters). The climactic car chase is also great fun, of course, but the rest of the movie tends to get underrated by people who just want over-the-top Grindhouse-y action, which honestly isn't why I watch Tarantino to begin with.

Yes, yes, Tarantino deconstructs & subverts usual grindhouse fare by swapping the killer/victims roles, but does the rest of this have 2 be so terminally boring? The man proves he's bought in2 his own hype here as an editor's sorely needed 2 hack through all his unfunny, unnecessary & repetitive Tarantino-ESQUE dialogue. Worse is how little his dialogue here actually develops character; all it does is promote the pandering, PC idea that women speak exactly as lewdly& crudely as men. No thanks.

This is another example of Tarantino producing a movie purely for shock value with very little substance. You have to laugh at the cheesy special effect layered over the movie to make it seem more retro. I liked the crazy stupid over the top ending, but the build up was at times a bit tedious. The plot is hollow as there doesn't seem to be any motive to the characters actions. A few good car chase scenes, and a blooper with cars whizzing by during a high speed chase.

Kind of feels like a throwaway movie for Tarantino - the word excess gets thrown around a lot for him, but in this case it felt like he started with the idea about what to be excessive about (meta about stunt-acting) and didn't think much about the story. The off-topic dialogue is great as always, but a lot of it is kind of wasted on actors that end up irrelevant to the plot. It's okay while watching if you're into Tarantino dialogue, but the story in the end goes nowhere.

Outside of the action sequences, which were great fun and very well handled, I found this tedious and annoying. The dialogue, and the there was a lot of it, all sounded as though it was straight from Tarantino's mouth; having a lot of chat between the key scenes shouldn't be a problem, but this felt very one-note. With a bit of restructuring, this could have been a winner, but on a first viewing it left me cold.

A group of people talk about wind and weather for half an hour then Kurt Russel shows up and kills some of them. This happens twice and it does not a good movie make. I usually like QT's dialogue-driven films but this is a slasher film with 90% dialogue and almost a 100% of it has nothing to do with the plot. The first act was ok but once I realized the second act was filled with possibly even more meaningless dialogue I started getting really bored. The car chase was ok, but the final sucks too

"Death Proof" is the most entertaining piece of trash I have ever seen. Only Tarantino could turn this simplistic exploitation chick-flick into a completely absorbing, hilarious, dark and thrilling tale, containing the best car chase ever filmed and typically witty and unpredictable dialogues.

The weaker outing of the two films that comprised the excellent idea that was Grindhouse. Tarantino misfires, too lost in his pointless dialogues that ruined the 90s, and the movie never really gets that exploitation-feel, that Planet Terror hit so well. Still, the scene when stunt-man Mike claims his first victims is probably the best I've ever seen from Tarantino, excluding that time when he hit that paparazzo dude in the face.

I prefer Planet Terror over this, but it is still quite the thrill. Every scene with Kurt Russel is ace. The dialogue, although witty and snappy at times, was drawn out a bit to far. The car chase towards the end makes up for it ten-fold, though. Plus, there's a '71 Nova AND a '69 Charger AND a '70 Challenger, all in the same movie. That has to account for something.

Utterly pointless first half. The second part was mostly fun...so that adds up to about one-third of a real Tarantino film. Features 2 uncommonly beautiful women (Poitier and Winstead). Unfortunately for QT, his stuff slides rather easily into self-parody (retro refs, goofy old tunes and huge chunks of dialogue) when he isn't firing on all cylinders. And why didn't the chick with the gun shoot Russell 5 seconds after he started chasing them? (Neh, Kurt Russell got beat up by a bunch of girls!)

Sacrifices entertainment for style and seems to delight in fighting against its premise. It's a faux B-movie about a killer in a car, so cut down on the chatter and make with the vroom. This was supposed to be fun. I was promised more fun! (Great finish, though)

A complete waste of a movie. Except for a few great scenes with Russell, it didn't do anything well. 80% of this "slasher" movie was girls driving in cars talking about boys. Tarantino does whatever he wants for no reason and just hopes that fanboys will eat it up. Just awful.

The way the two chasing 70s muscle cars are shown shaking up the modern SUV-type cars on the road suggested to me Tarantino's intention to defy and derail expectations. Some awesome thrilling chase scenes, Kurt Russell is perfect, the broads are hot.

What a boring piece of shit. I cant describe how dissapointed I am with tarintino. Kurt Russell saves a few scenes with some unexpectedly great acting.

Campy fun. Not nearly as 'impressive' as most of Tarantino's other works, but the chase scenes are both intense and incredibly filmed. I didn't mind the dialogue (seems to be a main gripe) and enjoyed the classic exploitation devices. The film is exactly what I anticipated based on the trailer; Russell is great as a villain and most of the ladies put on their best seduction show. Admittedly, dialogue scenes do cut some of the tension of the car chases, but those willing will find a happy medium.

The better half of the Grindhouse double bill (PT is fun, but little else), it's arguably the most underrated film in Tarantino's canon. First half: girls are exploited as eye candy and ultimately become roadkill. Second half: the antithesis, wherein the girls--seemingly descendants of Russ Meyer's go-go dancers--fight back without losing an ounce of femininity and unmask their assailer as the macho-posturing fraud he is. Should have shushed anyone who still thinks of Tarantino as a misogynist.

Strong, badass women, in this age, are surprisingly hard to come by and I'm SO glad we have a film that turned the tables on both the evil dude and the audience, flipping them both off and having a blast doing it.

Its not bad but it just doesn't decide what it wants to be, action or talky. Also, the central idea just feels silly. Also, more Mary Elizabeth Winstead plz. Kudos though for staging a car chase with cars that could realistically keep up with each other.

Tarantino's least-accessible film is overly long-winded, tiring, and while the climax of the film is an incredible crescendo of action, it leaves you wondering what happened to the rest of the story.

First half is greatness at it's most great. Second half is meh. As with Kill Bill, I find myself caring much, much more for the main guy "villain" and being generally pissed at the girls. He only roughed up their car a bit, jeez. The first half up until the front collision scene (incidentally THE BEST THING EVER), is excellent. I actually recommend just watching this, then switching it off. There are some great scenes throughout though, so if you can bear female nonsense go for it.

Good marks for the fantastic chase sequence at the end. A nice reward for managing to sit through the rest.

This version is far superior to the double-feature Grindhouse version, which misses a lot of scenes that are quite frankly vital to understanding the aesthetic of this film.

Most unsatisfying ending ever. Somehow this film is getting labeled as having the best car chase ever. I'd still rather watch Blues Brothers any day over this.

Easily Tarantino's worst film. While the notion of 'more talk than action' might be true to the source material he's so desparately trying to recreate, it doesn't make for an interesting movie in the least. It basically boils down to talk talk talk talk talk car crash talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk car chase car crash.

A revolving table shot with four women talking about nothing for thirty minutes. THIRTY MINUTES. No matter how good the car chase was or how good any other parts of the movie where, I will always remember the film for that indulgant, abusive, wasted chunk of time devoted to inane breakfast dialogue.

It has it moments that make you want to like it, but a dull lull which is all dialogue (and not as good as you'd expect from Tarantino).

A really weird film(not in a good way) and occasionally too sick for me,but in the whole a pretty good movie. Tarantinos strength is really the dialogues. Also I njoyed the car-chase.

Not unwatchable, but pretty close. As opposed to the Grindhouse twin Planet Terror, which, although also a hat tip to the heyday of drive-in theaters, was not obnoxiously stupid. Tarentino can do much better than this.

It's not good enough to be a good movie on its own and not quite over the top enough to be a great parody. There are still some great moments, but it's probably something that works better for someone with a previous affinity for grindhouse cinema, which is not me.
