After The Expendables this movie has a lot to live up too.Really? I'd say Stallone is a far weaker director & writer than Rodriguez. Stallone is serviceable, Rodriguez is a master of this genre. Machete looks to be both a fun b-movie AND a good movie based on the really positive reviews so far, unlike Expendables which worked only as b-movie action. Rodriguez doing over the top action like Desperado, El Mariachi, Planet Terror, etc... is in a league of his own.

Honestly, who is better at making cheesy over the top b-movies?
His spy kids movies make El Mariachi, From Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado, Planet Terror, Machete...etc worse as b-movies? I don't go see his kids movies.Honestly, who is better at making cheesy over the top b-movies?
The guy who spent half of the past decade making Spy Kids movies, obviously.

I can say otherwise because I sat through Once Upon a Time in Mexico, From Dusk till Dawn and Sin City.
Rodriguez is a pretty terrible director and writer. He's one of those guys who comes up with great concepts and routinely fails to execute them. Better producer than filmmaker.
Death Proof >> Planet Terror
Sin City was the best thing he's ever done, and it was his most collaborative effort. Big shocker.
Imagine how good Sin City would have been had he not even directed it!
... also, he WROTE the screenplay for Predators. There's your problem right there.
There wasn't much wrong with the script of Predators. It was a concept that could make a badass movie. A bunch of badass dudes and dudettes from across the world banding together to fight super monsters.
Wilco's just jealous.

This being one of the most purely enjoyable action movies of the past 15 years makes that view very hard to agree with:Rodriguez is a pretty terrible director and writer. He's one of those guys who comes up with great concepts and routinely fails to execute them. Better producer than filmmaker.
In short: he should stick to 3 minute mock trailers
i heard lindsay lohan plays a nun for five minutes and is then naked throughout the entire thing
This movie was heart felming.Thirty seconds of uncontrolled giggling, thanks, you weenie.
Also this is the first time it felt like in nearly a decade De Niro had any energy in a performance, he seemed to actually be enjoying himself instead of sleepwalking through it like he usually does lately.
Fuck forgot about that. He also seemed to be trying in that as well. Apparently he got paid scale on Machete. Just for Trejo.
