The one-time 'Rebel Without a Crew' has lost his way a bit over the years.
The Big Picture Robert Rodriguez has had a long and successful career as one of the most prolific directors working in the industry ... which is why it feels silly to say that he should go back to his 1990s filmmaking roots. Yes, even though Rodriguez has made great strides in his craft over the years, these strides have ended up cutting out a lot of what made his movies so special in the first place.
From Dusk Till Dawn continued this raw feel, but this time with a vampire twist and the doubled-down indie feel of Quentin Tarantino going to bat with him. This movie was his grimiest yet and leans all the way into the two filmmakers' love for exploitation movies. Obviously, it rocks. Then there's 1998's The Faculty, which honestly feels a lot like many other teen movies from around that time , just with a sci-fi horror twist.
Not every Robert Rodriguez movie would feel completely artificial though. He would still make movies for adults that had glimmers of his '90s work, but his newfound obsession with digital would still find its way seeping into his movies. Planet Terror, the two Machete movies, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico are all purposefully going for a raw tone and have loads of fun action, but they still end up caked in computer-generated effects that take you out of that experience.
