how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 53 comments (42 from Metacritic, 10 from Reddit, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 6 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Machete Kills is gruesomely baroque trash staged with a kinetic freedom that is truly eye-popping, so you can forgive its lapses, like how it goes on a little too long. Rodriguez's only real sin as a filmmaker is that he wants to give you way too much of a crazy ultraviolent good time.”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 83
“Like its predecessor, Machete Kills is never less than busy with ridiculousness.”
Gabe Toro, The Playlist · 83
“You’re really going for Rodriguez’s retrohappy splatter: Intestines tangle in helicopter rotors, heads pop in spring-loaded decapitations, and there’s even a new fake trailer up top. Little is believable, and that’s exactly as it should be.”
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out · 80
“Machete Kills is gleefully ridiculous, one-upping the first movie’s jokes, blood, and even its massively heightened self-awareness. No matter how Rodriguez would like to pitch it, Machete Kills isn’t really an homage to exploitation movies as much as it’s a parody of them.”
Josh Modell, The A.V. Club · 75
“Kills tops the 2010 original by not giving a mierda about logic or character.”
Amy Nicholson, Village Voice · 70

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“I saw one of the Thursday screenings. I LOVED the movie. A true homage to not just the 'grindhouse' era, but b-movies in general. Like OP said, I hope Machete Kills Again... IN SPACE!”

“Great movie. I thought the chameleon character was badass. Amber Heard was great. That Elon Musk cameo. Another action movie star these days over 60 (beside Jason Statham) but I'm fine with that. I enjoyed this and the Expendables.”

“I wonder what drugs Rodriguez was on when he wrote this movie but he must have been under the influence of something since it is even more weird and insanely violent than his usual concoctions. What is worse it that it really is somewhat incoherent, like ideas for scenes was just strung together with no real concern for the overall picture. I did like the movie as a two-hour distraction from reality and I had quite a few laughs at the ludicrously violent scenes. Unfortunately some of them mad”
