Red Mosquito

too bad the first one sucked

its gonna be fun...nice to see Carlos Estevez and Mel Gibson there.

i enjoyed the first one for what it was. I laughed a lot.

"Machete don't text!"

The first one sucked - What should have been a fun, campy, over-the-top action movie was instead a bash you over the head with a political message for 90 minutes

I thought it was plenty fun, campy and over-the-top

I personally thought it sucked. Reminded me why exploitation movies went away--they're really not that interesting in the first place. Rodriguez has reached semi-hack stage for me at this point.

Saw a preview for this at the movies yesterday, looks kinda silly, but I've only seen part of the first one

na, I think they can be done really well. Planet Terror and especially the Crank movies for example. but yeah this one sucked.

Looking forward to not watching this one either.

Black Dynamite

That's a (brilliant) parody though. Machete Kills was actually in earnest, or at least that's how it came off to me. It was just so samey and boring. Knives, guns, tits, explosions, repeat.
