Jeezo, I need some more whisky
posted on 26 Aug 2009John Cena, who might be a good wrestler, has all the expressiveness of a total blockhead. His wife, as her part was written, has the IQ of a grape (about the same as John Triton - great name)and a spunkiness that gets tiresome after 12 seconds. The bad guys range from insufferable to god-awful. Robert Patrick, looking a little like an embalmed Christopher Walken, supplies the only actual acting talent in this waste of time, space, and money. He looks really great when he comes back from the dead looking like yesterday's barbecue special at Arthur Bryant's.The explosions!!! Let me count the ways we can have gasoline/propane/pentane/lopane explode...a dozen, maybe two dozen. Whatever. John Cena stolidly marches through the super-heated pandemonium without a burn or scratch. But wait, there's even better!!!! The gun duel between the robbers/murderers/kidnappers and John in the commandeered Police Camaro!!!! John's car gets raked by at least 150 bullets but nothing to keep it from running smoothly. No flats, no punctured fuel or brake lines, no radiator damage - nothing. Not even an M1A1 Abrams battle tank would do so well.This film does not even rise to the level of a bad comic book. Who the heck thought this should ever see the light of day?????
Suspended beliefs but good action film (possible spoilers)
posted on 26 Aug 2009Before you watch this movie, you have to understand it's entertainment so if it's not as realistic as you feel it should be, the fault isn't with the movie makers. Remember they do have creative license and they use it to the fullest in this movie. With that said, I enjoyed the movie. It's kind of like the military version of "Speed". Kelly Clarkson was great. I think John Cena was great too but it would have been a little better if Cena used his wrestling persona a bit more. That's how Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got successful in movies and why he's now branching to comedies. When Cena gives wrestling promos there is usually a lot of comedy involved just like the Rock. I am giving this movie a lot of leeway, rating wise, because it is Cena's first but I believe he can get better. The bad guys were horrible...it was stupid to let them start killing each other. I think one of the things that damaged this movie was the time limit....90 minutes. Had they expanded to 120, maybe they could have worked harder on character development but I did enjoy the movie. I saw it on cable though so I didn't pay anything extra. :)
Waste of money and time
posted on 24 Aug 2009So, another small budget film by WWE, what are they thinking? without a good and a solid story line how can they expect to do well? Saw an early preview, i had high hopes after watching the trailer but the movie didn't live up to it, short, cramped, the ending really didn't make sense.After See no evil they thought an action movie would do the trick but i guess or lets say i hope they should end it here. The acting was actually not so bad considering this was Cena's first movie he did a good job. But his acting alone cannot make the movie good.I'd say that they should take some time, develop a good plot, pick a good director and then only move on to make a movie.Really a waste of precious time and effort though it was free! I'd give it 5/10 (mainly because i sympathize with Cena who did a good job).
Great film that doesn't involve any brain activity
posted on 24 Aug 2009Plot line is weak? Yes. The acting is bad? Well... you can't expect much acting from such a weak plot line anyway. But what I liked about this movie is that it is NOT an action movie, it is a comic action movie. Just sit back and enjoy some great explosions, fighting scenes and snappy comic remarks. I couldn't stop laughing through the whole movie. At least it looks like they didn't try to make a "serious" action movie. They tried to make a movie for those who enjoy WWE, I guess. And that is why I'm giving it an 8/10, since I think the movie fulfills it's purpose.It has some of the greatest explosions I've ever seen in a movie, seriously, kudos to the SFX team. The comic remarks vary from silly things like the "I hate rock candy" to references to other movies (when you see the movie you'll understand). That is why I say this isn't a "serious" movie.To watch this movie I suggest a few friends, some beers and turn off all brain activity. I did that and had a good time watching it. And I still use quotes from the movie to grab a quick laugh.
Cena is the next Schwarzenegger!
posted on 20 Aug 2009This movie is pretty good. OK, so the acting ain't great but what action movie is noted for its spectacular acting? None. So don't beat yourself up about some cheesy dialogue. We used to love Arnie's cheesy dialogue in the 80's so what's the difference these days? John Cena is no Al Pacino but doesn't try to be... What he is though, like Arnie, is a bodybuilder-like bad-ass who just will not quit despite being shot at and blown up in every scene he's involved in! He will not stop until he has rescued his wife from evil kidnappers. Does this sound familiar? Of course it does because its written like every Arnie or Stallone action movie we loved in the 80's! This is a modern day version of 1985's Commando! The bad guys are led by the awesome Robert Patrick (another link to Arnie), and try to escape across the country with Cena's insanely hot wife (played by Kelly Carlson). This is just simply great cheesy fun, an old school popcorn movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and has explosions and action galore. Really enjoyable.
An Enjoyable Reality Check.
posted on 18 Aug 2009If I wanted plot, I'd go see The Departed. If I wanted, acting, I'd go see The Departed. If I wanted polished directing ......... well, you get my drift. For my money, I got a well paced, (for a first time director) funny, action movie. (note that I didn't use the term film). From the opening shot of John Cena in an ill-fitted Marine uniform through the first couple of scenes with enough corny lines to have me ready to reach for a sick bag, I was certain I'd made a mistake in our choice for a Saturday night date flick. The last few films we'd seen were testosterone driven. I wanted a chick-flick. Nothing heavy. Just some laughs. I got exactly what I was looking for. Okay, so it wasn't a chick flick and YES it was testosterone driven, but it was also, fun, funny, silly and plot less. What more could a gal ask for when ordering fluff? I wasn't expecting Godiva Chocolate, it was good old-fashioned Bazooka bubble-gum. John Cena was wisely given very few lines. His acting only suffered when he was required to be still and deliver short paragraphs of dialogue. But his brooding stares were confection. He's got a great face for flat-affect performance. I didn't need him crying for the reason he is set on his "MISSION". He's got a great body and I'm sure that he spent much more time working on that rather than his acting ability. The jeweled performances came from, Anthony Ray Parker as Morgan, some muscle with a trigger finger and a thing about rock candy. He has some funny material which he delivers with all the fun intact. Most of his amusing dialogue is delivered with Robert Patrick, playing Rome, the mastermind in charge of the jewel heist that sets this action movie going full throttle. Patrick, who began his career with a flat-affect performance in Terminator 2, enjoys making fun of his character who, like the Terminator, can walk away from the destruction and mayhem with no remorse. I don't believe the women were there as eye-candy. (In my very limited knowledge of WWE) Kelly Carlson plays John Cena's wife in WWE shouting matches; a feisty little bit of a woman with a nice set of cojones when it comes to dealing with a bad situation. Abigail Bianca seemed to be her foil, the person she needed to play off most of her anger, as opposed to Robert Patrick who chewed scenery like ..... let's see ....... hmmmm bubble-gum. Patrick and Carlson have a wonderful little scene in which we can see, he's really not out to get her or make her suffer in the least. As a matter of fact, you almost expect you see her crack up over the absurdity of it all. I'll forget this movie in a week. So what? It was good for what it was.
Maybe 2 1/2 stars.
posted on 17 Aug 2009For Cena's first movie, it was okay. Lot's of explosives but I really wouldn't recommend the movie. Some okay jokes, and the story line was kind of weak. Typical ransom, give me back my wife type of movie. I recommend that you wait till the movie comes on television, and then decide if you want to buy it or not.
Rated PG-13 or should it have been R?
posted on 16 Aug 2009MAN! This is one of the most intense thrillers I've ever seen in my life! The worst part though, is his wife getting kidnapped without a fair reason! I think that Rome guy is a real dwanker and a big-time tweaker! I guess WWE films designed "The Marine" this intense. I expected the part when Triton saw the crooks kidnapping Kate, one of Rome's thugs hit him with a fire extinguisher. Here's what I think should be added to the movie: Morgan violently shoves Kate down a 10-foot staircase. Next, either Rome or Angela says "We need to talk." and then grabs his ear. Angela oughta be renamed "Devila" because she behaves like a devil, acts like a devil and even LOOKS like a devil! LOL If you know what I mean. My favorite part was when he was working in the security dept. and helping with some pervert.
Discharged for disobeying to save soldiers, then can't adjust to civilian life, Marine goes on trip with wife only she's abducted by jewel thieves and he must rescue her.
posted on 12 Aug 2009Given a 7 and here's why... Vince McMahon produced this movie with WWE films...You have to go into it with the mindset "Hey it's not real, it's going to have a lot of ultra-corny stuff and a lot of action." Nothing more. I was hyped just to see how incredible the stunts and fireworks would be in the action sequences and I was not let down at all. In fact the next-to-the-last scene had a large abandoned river shack explode and I said to myself "There's no way our hero could survive that unless he landed in water." Sure enough 2 seconds later our hero pops up out of the water.As a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant I first expected some cool MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) tactics or something more "Marine" based, but this was only in the opening sequence. The rest of the movie is purely about a man who wants his wife back after she's kidnapped and because of his past (yes that right his marine past) he knows how and has the means to do it, so he DOES! GO FIGURE! This is the kind of psuedo-80's style action movie that we all fondly remember and found out in present day they were nothing more than B-movies. While I don't consider this a HBO special or anything, it is low-budget with LOT OF FUN.If you are simply looking to be entertained and see some really great action...watch away... If you are looking for the next Vince McMahon Oscar...do yourself a favor and don't go get disappointed. I think the producer and director were making something fun and entertaining...nothing more. Hope this helps and Semper Fi!
For hard core action fans.
posted on 11 Aug 2009This is one for the hard core action fans. There's very little 'down time' to run for popcorn. If someone isn't getting shot, punched, etc. things are getting blown up or sunk in water. There is an action scene I haven't seen yet with a police car. Several of the action scenes are worth a rewind and I did appreciate the 'buff bodies'. You have to give these guys an A plus for working out.

Very Poor.
posted on 02 Aug 2009I agree with the other comment fully.Firstly, the fact that the WWE put their wrestlers in their films in leading roles is bad to start with. John Cena is a very bad actor. Most parts he was just trying too hard and looked like he was reading from a script. The film plot is extremely predictable. Wife gets kidnapped, Triton goes after her and finally gets her back, end of story. Hardly surprising is it? The cinematography is bad. Even the "WWE films" montage looks like it has been made on YouTube by some talented teenager. The continued reference to the wrestling business is wayyy OTT. For example the choke slam through the wooden crate, and the sledgehammer (HHH weapon of choice) is a bad inclusion. Even marines wouldn't be able to get up if they are literally hit to the stomach with a sledgehammer.My advice = WWE stay away from films. I am not looking forward to the Condemned promos on WWE RAW.
Proves Yet Again That Wrestlers Can't Act
posted on 30 Jul 2009When I went to this movie, I was hoping for something decent. But instead I found out that it was the worst action movie that I've ever seen. I'm a fan of the WWE, but I know that the wresters can't act to save thier lives. But I went to see this movie, because I was hoping that it would make me change my mind. But it didn't, there was only one good scene in the movie and that was the very first 5 minutes. John Cena's character in Iraq showed how brave our troops truly are, even though he went in guns ablazing. I love action movies, I love the testaterone pumping flicks like Terminator 2, Predator, and Casino Royale. But this movie didn't get me excited, in fact, it made me laugh. By the end of the movie my sides hurt from laughing so hard. John Cena is about as good of an actor as he is in the ring. His character survives around 6 or 7 massive explosions without a scratch. I don't mind when an action flick has scenes that can't happen in real life, but this was overkill. The only reason I gave this move 2 out of 5 stars instead of 1, was because of it's portrayal of how brave our troops are over in Iraq. When I went to go see it with my friend, he and I were probably the only people without Cena shirts on, so if you're a fan of Cena, then you'll love this movie. I for one can't beleive how crappy of a movie it was. Don't waste your money on this, go buy a copy of Terminator 2, you'll thank me.
Wow!
posted on 29 Jul 2009Think of all the people the 20-30 million that was spent on this unbelievable piece of American propaganda. I bet this move got some tax money from the military to help this movie be made. i love the 9 terrorists he takes in the beginning and then in the end doesn't storm the bad guys to save his wife when there are only 3 of them with hand guns,(terrorists had swords and ak47s. I counted 4 dives to safety from a obscenely huge fireball created from a BBQ. total garbage I'm glad i Downloaded it. It is sad to see all of this garbage movies being made when I'll watch a little five minute movie on you tube and it will be much more memorable than this trite. It would be funny to have put Borats movie on it the theater for the suckers that went to see "The Marine". GARBAGE!!
1 time
posted on 27 Jul 2009If a ECW fan watch the movie, then he/she would say: "Cena: You can't act..." :OP sorry; but is true. This movie is a typical action movie without history and the wwe champ does not reach very much. Another unsuccessful attempt of push up the controversial champion? please, not at the cost of the good taste in the cinema. Any way, Robert Patrick feels comfortable in a personage to whom he is accustomed and he fulfills well his function inside the movie. Is not bad. The movie is not the great thing, but it fulfills his function to entertain. For the action movie fans, i guarantee them that there will be shots, explosions and flying cars. Another thing? well "You can't see it"
Was this supposed to be serious?
posted on 25 Jul 2009I just saw it tonight and must say, "what the heck?" It was totally hilarious! I'm in the military, but I'm not one of those "super-moto" type of characters. Cut the BS and get it done! This flick was too funny to be serious. Robert Patrick's character was the best. No offense to John Cena, cuz he could kick my behind, but his acting sucked. I did give him the benefit of the doubt since it was his film debut. But he needs to stay in the ring, leave the acting to the professionals, and leave the soldiering to the professionals. On the flip side, I though it was a great recruiting ad! All it needed was John Cena fighting a big lava monster on top of a volcano and being struck by a bolt of lightning and being transformed into a Marine in his dress blues with the voice-over saying "The Few. The Proud. The Marines."
I Salute John Cena!!!
posted on 16 Jul 2009I rented "The Marine" with no expectations except for good action and "eye candy" (Mr. Cena is a beautiful man). I always enjoy the classic good vs. evil story and seeing the bad guy get it. Think of the 80's action movies and that is what "The Marine" is like. I enjoyed the movie, and while I am not a wrestling fan, I do support the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) because they support our troops all over the world. They make trips to bases every year and risk their safety to entertain the wonderful men and women of our Armed Forces! John Cena has a very likable quality, and because of his love and appreciation for our troops and their families he can rest assured that I will gladly give my dollars and support to him in whatever he undertakes. God Bless you John and the WWE!!!
Stunning
posted on 15 Jul 2009It's been a while since a movie has generated enough interest in me for me to watch it. "The Marine" looked exciting enough in the trailers, so I decided to give it a look. What I found was an amazing movie, with some of the greatest special effects I've ever seen. The camera angles really work for the action sequences and the choreographed fight scenes made me yearn for more. Say what you want about John Cena's acting. He may not deliver the best dialogue, but his look can carry a film. He was a great choice for the role of John Triton. Kelly Carlson was great as was the underrated Robert Patrick. I highly recommend this film for those who are a fan of visually stunning movies. It will blow away your senses...
Wasn't really expecting much, and didn't get much...
posted on 30 Aug 2009I went and saw this movie with my boyfriend yesterday night. I personally like John Cena, but the movie itself really isn't that great. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being great I would rate the acting a 2. The movie really has no flow at all, pretty much explosions and then corny humor followed by more explosions. The preview is pretty much the whole movie. I have to say that I did appreciate the fact that the movie didn't drag on like I was predicting it to. It pretty much got the story across and ended, which was a nice surprise. Obviously the movie is unrealistic with John Cena's character taking enough abuse to kill 100 normal people. I pretty much got what I expected. If you like big fire balls you will love this movie..plus John doesn't look too bad either.
