yet somehow the raw energy of the direction holds everything together.There literally isn't one dull moment. If you're not grinning or shaking your head in amazement from start to finish, then you probably just don't get it, or have become dead inside. The only bad thing I can say about Machete Kills is that real life felt somewhat dull & uninspiring in contrast when we walked out of the cinema.With this in mind, I was shocked to see that the film has flopped at the box office so far, and has a meagre 6.4 star rating on IMDb. Ignore the critics & go see it at the cinema while you can - this film deserves to be seen as loud & larger than life as the characters within it. Machete Kills is an Oasis in a desert of big budget CGI snoozefests and as such it needs your support. If a third instalment isn't made I'll be crying tears of blood.

When This Film Is Released Buy Tickets Early So You Can Get The Best Seats In The Theater Because These Tickets Will Fly Off The shelves Trust Me This Film Is A Whole Lot Of Fun.

original Machete. Personally I enjoy this movie for that reason because I'm not too big of a fan of repetition. Its also amazing how Robert Rodriguez always casts the most interesting actors together from Robert Deniro, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba to Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga, and Carlos Estavos also known as Charlie Sheen . So for anyone who loves Danny Trejo, Robert Rodriguez, or action movies in general, I highly recommend you do yourself a favor; ignore the low ratings for this movie and go buy tickets to check out Machete Kills for yourself. Especially when the review is written by a critic who hasn't's even seen either of the movies and doesn't understand Grindhouse exploitation films.

breathing cartoon with buckets of violence. Don't forget the munchies, maaaaaaaan.

president of the United States and Lady Gaga as one identity of the most dangerous assassin just a few to mention. Every character is just the correct piece of this broken puzzle as Rodriguez has mentioned to be. Mel Gibson is just so talented actor that he raises above others even that his screen time is less than others.There is only one big flaw in Machete Kills and it dropped one point off from my rating. In this movie genre there just needs to be nudity, but it is totally missing here. Rodriguez had it in the first movie and it seems so strange that female nudity was left totally out. Was it the request from studio or what? I would like to hear Rodriguez explanation for this because that would make this the best movie that he has done so far.I'm eagerly waiting Rodriguez next project and also hope that big studios will continue to give money for talents like he to make really enjoyable movies for us movie freaks. Go and see this but leave your girlfriend home.

few others - not the audience one would expect for this.There are 101 deaths in this movie, and they are all funny as hell. There are decapitations, evisceration, folks turned inside out, impalings and all manner of fun to be had.Danny Trejo, who has a great face for radio, is irresistible to the ladies and that is perhaps this movie's biggest leap of faith. He has badass weaponry, and when he gets it, and it's explained what it does, you are waiting for each piece to be used.Mel Gibson is the best he's been since the first Lethal Weapon, and a new career path is now open to him playing nutjob bad guys. Charlie Sheen is a hoot too.Bring on the third movie to wrap this story up!!!

all year.Machete Kills is the sequel to 2010's Machete. The latter was developed from a 'fake' trailer that preceded 2007's Grindhouse, a collaborative double feature consisting of Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Using the character Machete from his Spy Kids series, Rodriguez made an amazing trailer for a grindhouse-esque film. When the trailer served to be immensely popular, he created the feature length. Now, three years later, we have the sequel to the movie that almost never was.What we have here is one of the greatest parody films ever made. It's not a parody on the level of Airplane! or Scary Movie, but this movie is just downright hilarious. It has everything from references to current events mainly the plight of the Hispanic people and their standing in America's 21st Century to great quips about the actors' personal lives Charlie Sheen's President Rathcock is a great spoof of his personal issues and his Martin Sheen's famous role of the president on West Wing to lampoons of successful franchises. If anything, Machete Kills is the best James Bond satire since Austin Powers. And even with all of this, it somehow manages to hit harder with each joke. We never reach a point where the movie has spread itself too thin.Robert Rodriguez is a genius. It's that simple. Somehow, more than any other filmmaker, he can spread a tiny budget as far as it can possibly go. He's known for this and has baffled studios for the better part of two decades when he makes amazing films on a paltry budget. Considering the scale of this movie especially just in the cast , it's amazing that Machete Kills was made with $30 million. The secret is that Rodriguez knows exactly what he wants. He doesn't need to waste money on things he can get done for cheap. For example, the special effects in this film are on par with a SyFy channel movie, like Sharktopus. He knows you're not there to see Avatar level CGI. You want a ridiculous story filled with even more ridiculous characters doing EVEN MORE ridiculous things. This, I believe, is the key to Machete Kills' quality. Every bit of Rodriguez' money and time is put into the most important aspects of the film.The cast in this film is exquisite. Let's just rattle off every big name in this movie:Michelle RodriguezDanny TrejoJessica AlbaCharlie Sheen or Carlos Estevez Sofia VergaraCuba Gooding Jr.Lady GaGaAntonia BanderasDemian BechirAmber HeardVanessa HudgensAlexa Vega or the girl from Spy Kids I could easily continue but let's just stop there. And the best part is, not one of these characters is a cameo. Sure, some of them take up just a fraction of the screen time, but each actor plays a memorable character that contributes something worthwhile to the story. That is a feat that needs to be recognized. Few directors could handle a cast this large and of this caliber, and still be able to make each one of them memorable.I cannot stress this enough. Go see Machete Kills. Gather up your friends and prepare to get rowdy. This is the kind of movie that thrives on a reactive audience. And prepare to have a rip roarin' blast.

attitude and sense of fun that I found infectious, with all ideas—no matter how dumb they must have looked on paper—making their way into the final film. Thus, we have a Bond-style baddie in the form of megalomaniac Luther Voz Mel Gibson , our hero killing numerous henchmen in a variety of creative ways, some innovative sci-fi weaponry, plenty of cool in-jokes for us movie geeks I loved the visual reference to Mad Max II and a bevy of lovely latino babes in sexy gear including Alexa Vega in PVC and Michelle Rodriguez in tight, cleavage enhancing top . Hell, Rodriguez is having so much fun that he doesn't even care about the quality of his CGI, which only adds to the gleefully gaudy vibe.It all gets very silly, and with the next sequel featuring Machete in space, it's set to get a whole lot sillier; I for one will make sure I've booked my seat for the ride.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for being marginally more fun than the first one.

and enjoy it. That is, of course, you like action movies where the hero chops every bad guy up and Sofia Vergara with her bra machine gun.
