Pros and Cons of Robert Rodriguez





This is the pros and cons of Robert Rodriguez as a film maker. He is one of the film directors I respect. I might not loved every film he does, but i do appreciates what tries to do. It's the behind the scenes information that love about him. He sets up shop in Austin,TX and have a studio in his backyard. He is living the dreams like very few filmmakers actually do: making movies without Hollywood studios involvement. He has a lot of things that love what he doing. There is just this little thing that I really hate what he doing.



Pros:

   Robert Rodriguez is unappreciated for what he does for film making. He is most aspiring filmmaker hero. He been in that position since he released "El Mariachi". That movie was made for $7,000 if nobody didn't know that little fact. I feel if you don't love his movies but you have to admired ambition of his movies. Rodriguez have proven from time after time that he can make an entertaining movie with half the budget of most filmmakers.

   He does cuts out a lot of potential position in his film crew by doing it himself. He did "Desperado" for seven million. That is peanuts for an action movie. He tries to use new technology to his advantage. He does his effects cheap and does it without looking fake unlike some movies that have bigger budgets . i think everybody should really watch his movies and sees that they really are better than most popcorn action movies you see today.

    I am not saying that he is the best filmmaker that does it, but he is definitely the least laziest one in the bunch. He is able to shoot movies really fast and please everybody on set. I don't think none of the cast he normally use complains about how he works. Selma Hayek comes back to him from time after time. You would think she would be too good to make movies with after she does some more dramas and serious stuff. It obviously says that she enjoys her time working with him.

If none of that impressed you, he directed "Sin City". Enough said. If there was no "Sin City", there wouldn't have been "300", or at least it wouldn't have been as good.

Cons:
I do think that Robert Rodriguez is the most annoying filmmakers in the world. I am getting tired of all these projects he says he want to do. Just do them already then. He has like ten projects that he always want to do. He says he want to do another "Sin City" movies. He talks about his ideas for them, but it never comes to fruition. He gives us teases like a hot girl who flirts with you, but leave it at that. What ever happen to the remake of "Barbarella". i been waiting for that for who knows how long. How about the live action remake of "Fire and Ice"? Where are those movies? Instead of making those movies you make "Shorts". Really? What's the deal? Don't announce to the whole world that you are making this movie or that movie, but don't make them. Quentin Tarantino does the same thing, but at least he just take a long time actually getting them done. When you do decide to direct a movie that you don't say you are making please do not release a crappy movie like "Shorts". Don't do any more kids movies. It is not your strong suit. Until you start to make movies that actually entertains, then I am refusing to watch any of your movies.



P.S I heard "Predators" was really good. It sad that it is just a movie that He produced, but not written or directed by Robert Rodriguez. I hope he can get off his ass and direct a movie.
