Spoilers Below:
I saw this Saturday. I liked parts of it, I loved Wydell and really was rooting for him to get his vengence while he was beating up on the Rejects. I liked Bill Mosely a lot and Sid Haig's character. I loved the fact that they were more developed as characters. I loved Geoffrey Lewis's character and really thought he deserved a bit more screen time.
Is it a horror movie? No. No way could it be classified as horror, no more than Natural Born Killers could be classified as horror.
What I didn't like really didn't have much to do with the story. I didn't like all of the closeups, I really wished Zombie would have learned what a medium shot was and maybe used it a little bit. The music video ending was really unnecessary and lasted forever!
Was it scary? No, not in the least. Were there some disturbing parts? Sure. There were a few too many funny parts. With the movie critic, the ice cream bit, the star wars bit, and a few others.
Is it what horror needs? I still don't know. I was hoping for something scary and got a road/crime/revenge movie.
