Really Surprised!

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

First time encounter with Machete was from those Grindhouse commercials. So when the movie came out I expected a joyous experience.Machete delivers almost every scene and it's a high paced action-comedy. If you're watching it today, the resemblance to the current presidency of Donald Trump shines out through the whole movie.Easy to watch and maybe an ice-breaker with friends on weekends. (People with over analytical personalities might not enjoy it as much as you or me.)

Even though "comedy" isn't mentioned in the genres, Machete is definitely hilarious. It's partially ridiculously bad, but it's also incredible just because of that. If Machete had been made completely seriously, it would suck, but it's not. The characters are weird in a really charming way. Some of them are clichés that meet some really weird action video game - especially in how the characters dress. The actors and actresses are all well chosen for the roles. Well, that's mildly put when it comes to Danny Trejo. No one else could play Machete.The plot of this movie is very typical for a revenge type of action movie. It's obvious and predictable, but it isn't the plot that gives Machete its charm. It's the annoying one-liners which are so bad they are funny. It's the atmosphere and aesthetic, typical to Rodriguez and Tarantino. It's the variety of characters. It's a lot of things, but the plot isn't one of them. But we don't watch Machete for the plot, now do we? We watch it for it's value as a cult movie. Machete is absolute gold in its humour, atmosphere and violence. Along other works of Rodriguez, it's an instant cult classic. If a few severed heads and some guts don't turn you off, watch this movie!

this is awful, Steven Segal's accent as a Mexican is just about as bad as it gets. the plot is contrived and obvious and Robert De Niro looks embarrassed to be in this junk. some of the fight scenes are unbelievable facile and make everyone out to be stupid beyond stupid the two female leads are somehow meant to be on opposite sides but when confronting each other quickly become united in their common purpose. Machete is the most unreal character , so many actors caught up in this pile of junk. The appearance of the rabid Don Johnson caps off the movie followed by a manic Cheech Marin as the manic priest is the cherry on the cake. please don't waste 90 minutes of your life on this junk

I just saw this for the first time. This looks like a film school project. It seems that it was written around the violence. "How much blood can we splatter?" I understand it was intentional to be exploitation but it doesn't work. De Niro puts in the worst performance of his career. I was surprised how bad he is. It seems like the director has other things on his mind or maybe the script was poorly written. There are several soft (out of focus shots) and a few compositions that make this film look amateur. Some directors are only capable of making one type of film and they do it over and over. The fact that they made a sequel is a sad commentary on the film industry or the powers that be. There are many jump cuts and dissolves that don't work. I had trouble watching the whole film even though it was free on cable. If I would have paid, I would have asked for my money back.
