StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
phanthinga It kinda funny that i already watched all The Marine movies except the original starring John Cena when other fan says it the best of the series.When it come to the action this movie just as entertaining as you expected to be.The action scene is big and loud,John Cena as a action hero is bad-ass and the most important is the Robert Patrick is way more memorable than those mediocre villain later on in the sequels.The problem is this movie need to be rated-R
Owen Ogletree I used to really like this movie. However, the years have gone by and my tastes have matured, and I must say, this defines the word "overblown." It's not half-bad as a popcorn flick as long as you turn your brain COMPLETELY off.I really like John Cena the wrestler, but as an actor (at least in this movie), he isn't anything too special. He's rather wooden and his character is unengaging.The villains kind of suck. Robert Patrick 15 years earlier played one of the greatest movie villains ever in the T-1000, but here his villain is pretty generic. His henchmen and woman are very one-dimensional.The action scenes can be fun to watch if you are able to get past the fact that they are completely implausible and are borrowed from many other movies. Cena's character is just mostly a Superman figure, which usually isn't a good thing.The story is simplistic and the script has some genuinely cringe-worthy one-liners (I did like that Terminator reference, though!).As a movie, it isn't offensively bad or unwatchable by any means, but still pretty bad. Look at it as nothing more than escapism. If you really want to see this, don't do any deep thinking while watching it.RATING: C-

ironhorse_iv During the early 2000's, The Rock became the top dog in the WWE to the point that WWE Studios use him to produce films. When the Rock move on from wrestling in late 2004 to start in more Hollywood's films outside of WWE Studios. It left a void that needed to be fill. This is where John Cena comes in. The Marine was supposed to be the first developed solely by the company to reach the filming stage and to show cast its newest wrestling star. 'The Master of The Five Moves of Doom' John Cena got his own movie as John Triton, the Marine, well technically ex-Marine who come home only to have his wife (Kelly Clarkson) kidnapped by a ruthless criminal name Rome (Robert Patrick) during a jewel robbery heist. Now he must rescue the dimstress in disrest. It's a pointless action film and gratuitous action scenes loosely attributed to a half-constructed plot. The absurdity of it only caps off the fun. I personally am a wrestling fan and love to watch wrestlers in action. Still, John Cena is probably the worst portrayal of a Marine in film. Not only does he violating a commander's order during duty, but being a Marine gives up Captain America type superpowers. After jumping head-first and upside-down from a high speed exploding camaro in the mid-air, John Cena will emerge later without any injuries at all. Come on, movie. Plus, I also don't think it lets you be a vigilante legally. "John Cena, you are charged with theft of law enforcement vehicles and assault. How do you plead?" "A Marine, sir." The way John Cena is able to survive a series of explosion is so unrealistic. You might be asking yourself, I really got burn watching this stupid movie, didn't I? There is an explosion in every action scene. I guess everything is flammable, combustible, or explosive. It doesn't look real, the explosions looks like a well laid out pyrotechnics fireworks display. The villains are just as silly as the hero. Rome loves to shoots cops in sight over dozens of witnesses that would gladly turn him in. His henchmen like to break the fourth wall, and have stupid rape pedophile jokes about a summer camp involving rock candy. Sorry, are we supposed to find that funny? When reliving traumatic memories of suggested sexual abuse and buggery, a few notes of Dueling Banjos will make it funny. As if, movie. John Cena looks out of place in the film, anyways. The big muscles, wooden face with the funny hair cut with limited lines that makes him look like a silly mini slow Terminator bodybuilder than a quick, fast, Marine. Cena is a decent wrestler. It's just his selling and presentation that sucks, much like this movie. The movie seems like a throwback to 80s action movies with all the pointless excessive action scenes that has nothing to do with the film. Trust me, there are some action scenes in the movie that plays no part in the plot line like Triton meeting the redneck or Triton as a security guard. The movie is B Movie "so bad it's good" kind of action-flick. If you don't take it serious, it's good fun. Still, the movie is a no brain meathead type of film that would make you wish that it could have rented a better movie out there.
