One of the most ridiculous films I have ever seen. I have not seen the prequel, but I do not think it could be any better, or it would change my opinion for this one. I trusted the cast and I was deeply disappointed. Above all, Danny Trejo in a role, that did not suit him, brought him completely out of his usual style, thus making an ass out of him. IMHO he cannot support a large range of roles. Was this crap of a film a parody of action films, a slapstick, or what?My vote 2/1O.

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

Machete Kills starts with a trailer for the sequel to Machete Kills. It's pretty funny. It's all downhill from there.Machete Kills is a parody of bad action movies, I suppose, but it reads more like it's just a bad action movie. The dialogue is awful; not funny awful, just really bad. The action sequences are over the top yet not that much fun. If not for that opening trailer, I'm not sure I'd even realize this was supposed to be a parody.After watching maybe 20 minutes I got bored and read some of the IMDb reviews. Some were so enthusiastic about the action sequences that I moved forward and watched one where the movie repeats the same gag within two minutes. I was underwhelmed.Not the movie for me.

Continuing my plan to watch every Mel Gibson movie in order, I come to Machete Kills (2013)Plot In A Paragraph: The U.S. government recruits Machete (Danny Trejo) to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer (Gibson) who looks to launch a weapon into space.In nothing more than a glorified cameo (Playing a villain on screen for the first time) Gibson hams it up in full pantomime villain mode, playing essentially a Bond villain. We don't even see him until the hour mark. How you view Machete Kills will totally depend on your frame of mind when you watch it, and how you feel about B movies in general. I was in the mood for something silly, and I enjoyed it's craziness!! Like an Expendables movie, this is loaded with stunt casting that looks like they were filmed over a couple of days!! Jessica Alba, Vanessa Hudgens, Cuba Gooding Jr, Lady GaGa, a grown up Alexa Vega (who only has one line throughout the film, but what a bum she has!!) and Sofia Vergara and her double D's. It amused me to see Charlie Sheen credited under his real name, Carlos Estevez (He even has an "introducing" billing lol )Machete Kills tanked at the domestic box office, only grossing $7 million dollars. Which sadly ended the franchise before we got to see 'Machette Kills Again In Space' which is a shame as I thought it looked hilariously entertaining.
