Good start, but then it gets ruined

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

What a terrible mess it may as well be a loony tunes episode!!! The first film is Excellent & a revenge Action Thriller but this sequel is a STUPID spoof, just TERRIBLE

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.

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.

Plot summary - Machete is hired by the U.S. government to find a madman in Mexico bent on launching weapons into space. Sounds crazy, huh? It is. As with the original Machete, the plot isn't as important as the action on the screen. If you've seen Machete, then you pretty much know what to expect from Machete Kills. It's more of the same with added fighting, explosions, and general mayhem. There are a couple of new things and characters in this one that I really enjoyed. I'll start with Mel Gibson. What a blast! He's so over-the-top, it's impossible not to enjoy every minute he's on screen. The same goes for Amber Heard and Charlie Sheen's (or Carlos Estevez) characters - Miss San Antonio and the President of the U.S. Awesome stuff!But, while I rated the first movie a 9/10, I'm only giving Machete Kills a 7/10. Obviously, there are some things that didn't work for me as well in this movie. First, Machete Kills would have benefited with more Michelle Rodriguez. She disappears for too long a stretch of the movie. Second, and more seriously, Machete Kills is really hurt by the lack of an ending. I understand exactly what Robert Rodriguez was trying to do, but it didn't go over well with me. Still, I'm looking forward to the next installment.
