Ditto - could not get it back in the red envelope fast enough. Actually made it to the boob swimming part of Pirahna before turning it off.

The thing about watching Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez films is to appreciate different things about them. They aren't "good" movies, but they're good for what they are. It's satire, and if you expected it to be satire it's quite good. It's tounge in cheek and Machete is for fans of Rodriguez films.

I like Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez films - this film was not even remotely watchable.

It was ok...I expected a little more from the actual Machete character. It was worth the rental. And oddly enough, its the only time I have ever thought Michelle Rodriguez looked good.

Liked LL in it...and while I think they used a double, it was hard to tell at some parts.

exactly seems ol' RR is hit/miss when it comes to delivering a good movie, this one seemed to be done half-assed IMO.
