Before writing this review, I want to make it clear that I'm not a fan of professional wrestling (due to actor John Cena being a professional wrestler, and the film being produced by WWE films) . I have nothing against it, it just doesn't appeal to me. Now on with the review......
I remember seeing The Marine in theaters, I never even heard of this flick, my step siblings wanted to see it, because of John Cena, I though, what could one little action movie do that could hurt. I went to local movie theater with my siblings (note the theater screening was small, and barley anyone was in the seats, first bad sign), when opening text crawl came up, it was so cartoony, and cheesy (second and major bad sign!). I knew straight away it was going to be a really bad movie. If I had to describe The Marine in a few word to sum up the entire movie, it would be this; imagine Commando and the original Die Hard were so unbelievably bad.
The plot is about a former Marine, whose wife gets kidnap by high profile criminals, and that Marine goes on a mission to rescue her. Wow, how original (sarcasm)! Right of the bat, this film fails to be even standard action movie, the acting is mostly horrible, special effects are awful the script is lazy, painfully cliched, and poorly written. Oh get this, one of the main villain's henchmen always complains throughout the movie to his boss that he's not being treated right by him and the other gain, because he's black.
I. AM. NOT. MAKING. THIS. UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
