d-millhoff Very few people can pull off making a deliberately-bad movie. It usually results in a ho-hum mess like a Killer Tomatoes sequel, or an insult like Two Idiots go to Hollywood. Robert Rodriguez is the rare exception. His half of the Grindhouse double-feature, Planet terror, was a delightful hodgepodge of hammy direction and acting, cheap special effects, over-the-top crazy violence, and grunged-up distressing to make the movie look like it's been played for years in third-run moviehouses with sticky floors and moist, smelly seats.Machete was a spinoff based on a fake commercial that, with hollywood's greatest septuagenarian badass Danny Trejo was just too good - and bad - not to follow through with a real movie.And the spinoff's sequel, Machete Kills, is even more batsh*t-bonkers crazy!Hilarious, campy, and riddled with cameos, you can just tell that everyone had a great time making this movie.I'm looking forward to the (hopefull for real) Machete Kills In Space.

ernesti Machete Kills must be one of the most violent films that i've ever seen but actually it's also so light to watch that it makes me wonder if the director has ever got hang of the idea of tension building. There's none of it. It's like watching a violent scene after another that follows shortly without any tension, just cartoon-like characters making tired jokes and that's about it. Just about everyone gets killed, but Machete somehow manages to get out alive.I did find several scenes funny but that's no good if the idea wasn't used further. This movie just rushes hastily from one idea to another and it's perfect for those who can't concentrate while watching a film.Well, honestly this movie is the new dimension of trash and yet many people will enjoy it. It's still watchable and still it's one of the dumbest and lightest violent film there is. It's a Tarantino film without the character development and coherence. It's a mess. Still someone's going to love it anyway.

mistoppi Usually sequels are worse than the originals, right? But obviously no rules apply to Machete or Machete Kills. The weaknesses and strengths of the two movies are pretty much the same: They are both hilarious and amazingly violent. Both have easy plots and all that. The cast of characters is even more amazing this time. Of course there are some same characters in this film as well, but some of the new ones are even weirder. Sofia Vergara with the boob guns that could be straight from Austin Powers -movie? Cuba Gooding Jr., Lady Gaga and Antonio Banderas playing the same character? Charlie Sheen - I mean Carlos Estevez - as the president of United States? All the characters are ridiculous and greater than previously. Thank you, writers!Machete Kills made me pay more attention to the dialogue. Of course, again it was filled with one-liners, but it was very colourful. Like I said previously, the plot of this movie is very simple, but it took some wild B-movie extremes. It was amazing, and I won't complain about that. All those B-movie effects make these movies what they are.Machete Kills is just as hilarious and violent as the first one. I don't think it needs any recommending. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too, I promise.

steveraw I won't mess about here. Danny Trejo as a leading actor is like Buggs Bunny as a Presidential candidate. It's a laughable gimmick and nothing more. Gaga? Stick to nut-ball musical performances. Acting is your kryptonite you pointless creature. Machete Kills is a train wreck of an action movie. The plot is thin and basic. At the halfway point I found myself wondering if I was actually drunk and imagining the whole thing. It sort of blurred it's elements together to pass off as continuity but still felt like a bad trip.2 stars because 1)They managed to come up with a budget to produce this filth, and 2)They made it in colour.Confusing junk.
