Machete Kills

Machete Kills (the new one, released last month)
What....
..... What the hell was...
The above sums up my general feeling about this movie, but while feeling stunned by its idiocy, I kept laughing at the RIDICULOUS (but thoroughly tongue-in-cheek) stunts and utterly silly violence.
This movie takes that sort of stuff to the extreme, and for that, it's at least an interesting lesson in style.
The cameos and co-star list is quite surprising.
Half joke, half inside-joke, this movie has half of everything you want in a movie and half-again-more of what you didn't know you want.
I can't rate it out of 10, because it's two half-movies; its a 2/10 because it's half just a total shitstorm of a mishmash full of dumb jokes, but also an 8/10 just for half-way being so very itself, all the way, zero punches pulled.
Half of you should see it, half of you should avoid it at all costs.
Half-heartedly,
Stefan
