I'm torn. What Machete Kills loses in charm compared to its previous film/trailer, it gains in its ridiculously awesome-ness and its characters. The story certainly isn't what you'd expect. This is a movie you really have to just let go, and enjoy the ride.
There are times that Machete Kills forgets that it is parading crappy films and becomes one itself. I blame it mostly on HD standards. The film looks too clean for what it should be. It should be grainy and dirty, not crisp like a made-for-tv movie. It creates the wrong feel for the movies.
The plot revels in its own chaos. Machete becomes the man who can not die, literally. We're even teased for the third Machete film that this film begins to build toward.
The break out though is the character, El Cameleon. After his debut scene you'll be wanting more.
Hunt this movie down at the dollar theater.
3/5 stars
