“Machete Kills,” a sequel for Machete, is another lampoon of bad genre movies from the 60s and
70s, but it’s a joke that’s getting old really fast. Machete was originally a fake trailer for Grindhouse, a Robert Rodriguez movie. The character generated so
much buzz for Rodriguez that he eventually expanded it into a whole film that
he released in 2010. This is a bad movie by design, but that doesn’t make it
enjoyable unless you’re a Rodriguez fan. A bad movie by design is still a bad
movie. I shared the theater with one other audience member. There’s lots of
blood and violence, campy performances (Demian Birchir, Charlie Sheen, Mel
Gibson, Antonio Banderas, Lady Gaga, Cuba Gooding Jr.) and a meandering script.
There will probably be a third movie because this one ends with a cliffhanger.
And Rodriguez has already indicated that it’s going to be called “Machete Kills
Again … in Space!” Count me out. I’m sorry I went to see this one. 10/16/13
