Review of Machete Kills (2013) by Matt A — 14 Jan 2014

I hated the first film, it wasn't funny, the action was mundane and the fake trailer in the Grindhouse themed Planet Terror was far better then the finished version. However all the mistakes from the first are rectified with this.

Its absolutely ridiculous and I loved every minute of it! This is stupid, totally stupid in every sense of the word, the violence is so over the top you cannot take it seriously, the acting is awful, but it works.

Far more cameos then the first, Lady Gaga being particularly good as one form of The Chameleon, this type of film works for her as I'm sure in a regular film she can't act. Its over the top fun, nothing more nothing less.

I just hope the equally ludicrous threequel will be just as enjoyable.. Machete Kills Again... IN SPACE... Oh yes. Cannot wait for that!
