a5c7b9f00b The U.S. government recruits Machete to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer who looks to launch a weapon into space. Rodriguez is known of producing parody B-class-style movies. This time he managed to make classic B-class movie, without the parody and funny part. If you want to watch cartoon-like movie (guy flying on a missile - exactlyin cartoons from 50 years ago - and jumping to water without any injuries) with all the things happening randomly, without any connection and plan of the screenplay writer - this is movie for you. <br/><br/>Although I enjoyed some of Rodriguez/Tarantino movies this one is a pile of you-know-what.<br/><br/>Apart of all the other things the last thing which could get the movie 2 two stars instead of just one would be seeing a bit more of Jessica Alba, but Rodriguez didn&#39;t manage even to do thathe made her die around the forth minute of the movie. I read another users review that had a lot of negative things to say about this movie and it&#39;s audience and to that reviewer I say &quot;what did you expect&quot; and &quot;did you even watch the first movie?&quot;. Because why would you go to see this one if you knew how the first one was, for that matter are you even familiar with the Robert Rodriguez genre? I voted your review&quot;not helpful&quot; because it was all BS.<br/><br/>In any case for the rest of you who did see and liked the first Machete you will not be disappointed, the sequel matches up very nicely with even more ridiculousness than the first. I honestly wasn&#39;t sure if this movie would ever get made, I was pleasantly surprised they used the innocuous title they said they were going to use in the original.<br/><br/>Fans of Rodriguez will not be disappointed with the wit and humor of the fantastic cast; especially Demian Bichir who plays Mendez. I had wished there was more Antonio Banderas and less Amber Heard and maybe I&#39;ll mention that to Robert if I ever meet him.<br/><br/>Not all the jokes were funny but that gave it the element of cheeziness one would expect, like when Michelle Rodriguez and Amber Heard are trading one liners you half expect Machete to tell them both to shut up because they can&#39;t trash talk. I sat through til the end of the credits to see any out-takes and it wasn&#39;t worth it; just like two 5 second spots. Gaga was pretty bad-assed but i felt she could have played a larger role i.e. more screen time.<br/><br/>In all, I gave it 8 stars, definitely a fun movie. As violentits predecessor yet noticeably duller and less outrageous, Machete Kills is dragged to the finish line entirely by its director’s madcap energy and an absurd cast of major stars in strange cameos.
