Disappointed by Death Proof or not?

ill admit, i was expecting more of death proof, i really enjoyed the first half of the movie and in the second half fell a bit short with some poor performances. i preffered the grindhouse cut of the movie to the european released death proof. the movie was set at the right pace and not as much dialogue. i also find its a film i love more and more i watch it. anyone else find that? also if you like your exploitation films it helps allot. i think thats why it didnt do so well in the cinema. allot of people just didnt get it, that and we live in a world were mindless mainstream garbage succeeds ie step up 2, sex and the city movie, mamma mia, disaster movie etc.
