I like the movies and keep going back to them. I think my ranking would be like this:
1. ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO
This is often ranked as the least best, but I thought it was the biggest and most epic feeling, even if it was the most over the top. It did a good job of intertwining four subplots into one, or at least I thought so.
2. EL MARIACHI
A pretty good indie movie for it's time, and very enjoyable. The tragic ending really works, and you do not see Robert Rodriguez make movies with a more serious tone like this anymore.
3. DESPERADO
Some say this is the best one, and it's not bad per say, but I find it to be just a repeat of the first one. The plot is very much the same in similar elements of a guy going around with a guitar case full of guns, and the woman's relationship to the druglord is very similar to that of the first one. The one main difference is, is that it has a happy ending, instead of a tragic one, but it feels Rodriguez was trying to correct it, like it was mistake in the first one.
But this is my take on them. What do you tink?
