Planet Terror.

Well I would never have thought to prefer a Robert Rodriguez movie over a Tarantino...

But comparing the 2 parts of the Grindhouse project, you have to give it to Robert Rodriguez: he's the one who really embraced the concept of making a movie by the standards of the old gringhouse...
When Tarantino "disguised" one of his movies as a grindhouse one, Rodriguez just did one.

As a consequence, you get a story that doesn't make sense, unidimensionnal characters, defects on the film, a missing reel (at exactly the right time), nonsensic one-liners and all that jazz. But don't get me wrong, it's all this that make all the charm of this movie.
It's all done tongue in cheek, it's all for fun and there's no point refusing to go along.
Because it's all dirt, yes, but it's dirt crafted with a true love of the genre and therefore dirt of the highest quality.
It's a right laugh and it's cool, with a lot of completely crazy concepts and inventive gore.

For example, I could not understand what was the point in replacing a severed leg with a heavy machine gun. Well trust me, after seeing this, I can tell you it IS a cool idea! :)

There's also the fact that the cast is 5 stars (Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis, Michael Biehn...), they all take it very seriously, which adds to the experience.

Rodriguez is right in his element and can pull out his tricks without actually making it feel cheesy (things that could happen in his other movies) because it's supposed to anyway. This might just be for me his best movie yet.

Watch this beer in hands, with a few friends, you're sure to have a good time. :)
