The Marine

The Marine

Like Ghost Rider, this movie sucks from the ground up. Nothing can prepare you for the bad acting and poor writing. It should be noted that this is a WWE film with a WWE star as the main lead. So, it certainly isn’t aimed toward the thinking man’s action films. I’ll give them this; it feels like a WWE film. That’s not a good thing.

The Marine is the You Got Served of action films. It’s stupid and tries to be funny way too much. Even the cold blooded killers joke around too much (The pop-rocks joke was beyond stupid). John Cena’s acting is a joke. He seems to have the same facial expression when he’s making love or blowing crap up. He doesn’t even try to act.

John Triton, his character, is a former Marine drummed out of the service. He and his very attractive lady friend from Nip/Tuck get caught up with some crazy bank robbers. And, that’s pretty much the plot. The only saving grace in this film is Robert Patrick (T2). He seems to be really having fun acting like an over the top villain. He’s the only reason to watch this piece of crap.

With the poor action directing and bad stunts, not even the so called eye candy can save this mess. Save your time and avoid this movie. What a freaking mess!

I didn’t even know that Cena was a wrestler, and he’s certainly not an actor.

Grade: F-

Cena knows how to light his own farts, but it always ruins the parties he goes to…

It is the year 2007, and the deadly T2 takes down another Decepticon robot.

Watch out, he might melt back into his normal liquid form!

  1. I saw the dvd in my local supermarket, and decided to put it on my rental queue. Haven't seen it yet, but I won't expect too much after reading your review.

  2. "The Marine is the You Got Served of action films".

    That line... that's a keeper right there. Says everything that needs to be said.

  3. pj: there might be some enjoyment from the film, like it's so bad it's good. It might be above Ghost Rider in crappy-ness

    MC: thanks! yeah, I couldn't believe how bad it was. I wonder if that Stone Cold Steve Austin movie is going to be any better.
