Robert Rodriguez's newest flick "Machete Kills" debuts Friday to lack luster reviews by both industry critics and moviegoers.

The film's director is known for his campy kind of "exploitation cinema" style flicks. You know, the movies with the cheesy one-liners and the ridiculously terrible plots filled with mindless action, because they can.  The movies that are "so bad" they end up becoming "so good" and develop a kind of cult following.

Not all of these B-movie style flicks are bad; some become cult-classics like Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," though I wouldn't necessarily put "Machete Kills" in that category.

Well, with a 29 percent fresh rating, Rotton Tomatoes' users have certified the film as pretty awful. Check out what critics have to say and leave your thoughts below.

New York Times couldn't be more bored with the film:

"Until your eyes glaze over after about a half-hour, 'Machete Kills' might put a twisted smirk of guilty amusement on your face. The high point of those opening minutes is a fantastically gaudy fake trailer for a sequel, 'Machete Kills Again ... In Space,' which embodies the director Robert Rodriguez's nostalgia for trashy B-movie exploitation flicks.

All too soon, 'Machete Kills' collapses into a deranged, directionless splatter comedy that exhausts its bag of tricks, many of them recycled from this grindhouse auteur's 2010 spoof, 'Machete.' Even the cleverest new toy, a weapon that turns bodies inside out, is so unimaginatively deployed that it's good for a yawn."

The San Francisco Chronicle called the movie 'lazy:'

"'Machete Kills,' a sequel to a film that was based on a fake trailer, is entertaining, but in a lazy and inconsistent way. Even as you enjoy the over-the-top gore and deadpan comedy, the whole thing feels like paying $10 to stand behind velvet ropes and watch much cooler people get drunk.

Whatever fun you might be having in the theater, Rodriguez never lets audiences forget it was probably a lot more fun on the set."

And then there are Rotten Tomatoes users, ready to keep it real with you:

"'Machete Kills' is barely a movie. It's an inside joke wrapped in a fanboy fantasy, pieced together through a haze of ironic detachment," said Adam Graham, Detroit News.

"It's saved by an enjoyably loopy script, several surprisingly strong performances, and the inventive direction of Robert Rodriguez, whose low-budget creativity is a performance in itself," said Rafer Guzman, Newsday.
