Entertaining at times. I don't think it was going for anything else.

What I really want to see is a Lohan spinoff of her Nun character at the end. All in all, not the best, but still was entertaining.

"Piranha 3D" takes the cake as the best b-movie gorefest of 2010. This one, on the other hand, could have used more moments like that deliciously tongue-in-cheek escape by intestines.

Robert Rodriguez really knows how to entertain.

So many Grindhouse type films coming out right now with idiotic names and stupid premises. Machete is on the milder end of both, but focuses on fun filmmaking rather than forced camp. It doesn't save its tricks for the beginning or end, and the surprising amount of A-listers are a fun bonus

Whilst still thoroughly entertaining throughout, it never reaches the high standards set by the first ten minutes (except maybe the hospital scene, which is quite possibly the most awesome scene ever filmed). Danny Trejo was long overdue for a starring role and the cast is near perfect but Tom Savini could have used a lot more screen time.

I had a really good time with Machete. It was just too much pure fun to let its political ideas get in the way of how much fun it is. This is a b-movie, an exploitation film, and it's a very good one. It has bad actors, terrible editing and over-the-top action scenes, but it's for these reasons that it's so enjoyable. If it wasn't, then it would easily be a boring watch. But since it's made with such skill, and all of this was intentional, but fun, I had a great time watching Machete.

I appreciate Rodriguez; but the more time pass, the more plot gets silly!

Lacks the confident pulp prowess of the original trailer, replacing it with uneven and often awkward dialogue and scripting. If anything, it's not earnest enough, or not clever enough -- sometimes I cannot tell the difference!

A wonderful mess, like most of Rodriguez's movies, and like most of them, the weakest part of Machete is the script (here at an all time low - even for a Grindhouse-spoof). But fuck that! It has Trejo in the lead, blood 'n guts splattering, Lohan without clothes on and Steven Seagal delivering the least convincing death-scene ever. Stupid and incoherent but highly enjoyable.

WAAAAY over the top but filled with such goodness. Hilariously overbaked characters make this a must see. I lost count of the number of heads, arms, legs, and intestines that were chopped, gouged, hacked, and removed.

'Machete don't text. Machete brings evidence'. Awesomest one-liners since Black Dynamite. It's not up with Grindhouse flicks because Rodriguez seems to have a smaller scope and probably less money to work with. If you're a guy there's a good chance you'll enjoy this film. Open a bottle a beer, roll a joint, sitback, relax and enjoy.

Great opening scene - whish they had gone with more of that kind of stuff. When you get seriously bored watching stuff like this, and start wondering what your're gonna do for dinner the next day, you know you are wasting valuable seconds of your life.

robert rodriguez and his movies are distressingly symptomatic of the putrid sensibility that sees me having to put up with fifty dimwitted assholes making shitty fucking jokes at every single screening of a fulci or lenzi or castellari film. this is a cinematic atrocity and a giant smear of shit across the faces of the films he claims to love. please see THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL for a recent example of grindhouse pastiche as genuine, wholehearted art.
