Review of Machete Kills (2013) by Guido M — 30 Aug 2014
Robert Rodriguez has done it again. He makes a sort-of-good movie with his Tarantino-like style and his loveable visuals, and completely wastes it all on a poorly done and painful to watch sequel that ruins a franchise (Spy-kids anyone?).
I mean, this is a movie that has Danny Trejo throwing a machete into a helicopter that explodes, Lady freaking Gaga playing villain (For 5 minutes though) and Charlie Sheen, oh I'm Sorry, Carlos Estevez as the president of the United States, plus Mel Gibson as the Bad guy and Sofia Vergara with Sub-Machine Gun Boobs. Then why, why in the name of the lord is this movie so damn boring?
It is, besides its predecessor being way more subtle on its plot and less star-packed. From beginning to end of this senseless compilation of cringy dialogue and SFX special effects, Rodriguez never tries to be funny, but in fact fails at any attempt of tension by being dumb or uninteresting. A really, REALLY bland movie, besides being a Rodriguez film.
