I can see people not liking it because of the second half, even though it's just like anything in Planet Terror. Plus, Quentin is pretty annoying, and Clooney wasn't yet a good actor.
I find it incredibly fun though, and it might just be his best movie thus far. It's too bad he dedicated so much time to those Spy Kids movies.

Better than I thought he'd fare with me. I guess I generally find his stuff "fun", if not very engaging. Except for goddamn Sharkboy and Lavagirl, which is up there with the worst experiences I've ever had.

I still can like films I give a 5 or 5.5. There's a lot to like about From Dusk Til Dawn. 4.5 and lower is the necessary "Dislike."
I've heard from numerous peoples that I need to see The Faculty post haste, so it's too bad to see it get a lot of "Lowest Rated" scores.
The Act of Killing (Oppenheimer 13) - A
Stranger by the Lake (Giraudie 12) - B
American Hustle (Russell 13) - C+

I'll be seeing The Faculty within the week.
There's only one thing not to like about From Dusk Till Dawn.

Robert Rodriquez (the dude) - 10, he's super cool and possesses a lot of passion for filmmaking. I like him a lot more than I like his films.
I think the biggest error I made on my Top 100 is including Desperado. I should have chosen From Dusk Til Dawn, because it really is the better film.
Generally, I agree with this.
