Machete may kill, but on the second time around his repetitious, deadpan brand of humor really doesn't so much.
Top CriticThe sequel Machete Kills opens with a fake trailer for a not-yet-produced third installment, then spends the next 100-plus minutes making a case for plunging a knife into the franchise's heart.
A surprisingly long-lived gag finally runs out of gas in Robert Rodriguez's noticeably duller, less outrageous sequel to 'Machete.'
All of the silliness would be a bit more fun if it weren't so exhausting.
Violent, silly, embarrassing, clumsy, confusing, juvenile, occasionally offensive, occasionally a little bit fun.
Forget about the socially conscious core that fueled the exploitation engine of the first film. This one is flat-out, no-message action comedy, outrageous and hilarious.
The films that Robert Rodriguez emulates here are known for similar unexpected narrative turns, but the crucial value that he misses is their actual cheapness.
Without the original's clever set pieces and humorously excessive violence, director Robert Rodriguez's follow-up actioner is a surprisingly dull affair straining to harness the pulp appeal that made Machete a disreputable treat.
Robert Rodriguez creates a sequel precisely as gratuitous as his fake trailer-turned-real movie deserves - which is to say, it's both excessively graphic and utterly pointless.
It's sexy, goofy, absurd, and full of bonkers performances
A movie so lumbering and unnecessarily stupid that it has rid this reviewer of the desire to see Rodriguez continue the Machete saga.
It breaks my heart too, because I am totally behind the concept of the Machete movies.
