Needs MORE Machete

Machete only fulfills half my expectations. I wanted this to be a crazy, bloody, funny good time, but I only got that in bite size pieces throughout the film. Too many characters and too much unnecessary filler took up more screen time than what I came to see: Machete brutally murdering bad guys and being a bad ass. When it was good, it was definitely good. However, it was just a tad tamer in being over-the-top than I expected and the movie didn't focus completely on Machete the entire time. I must admit that Piranha 3-D was a more satisfying crowd pleaser than the much longer awaited Machete.
