GamerTab That was an excellent one.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

a_chinn Workmanlike action movie from WWE Films serves as an unoriginal and routine action vehicle for wrestler John Cena. Diamond thief Robert Patrick and his crew kidnap Cena's wife, which leads to the recently discharged marine chasing after Patrick and company through the backwoods of South Carolina. The action is competently produced and Cena is a decent enough of actor in a retro 80s musclebound action hero sort of way (i.e Stallone, Arnold, JCVD, etc.), which is a low bar, but as with those action heroes, he does have undeniable charisma, which he surely honed in the squared circle of the WWE. Overall, "The Marine" is nothing to go out of your way to see, but if you're in the mood for something that seems like a more bombastic version of "Walking Tall" it's not all that bad.

adonis98-743-186503 A group of diamond thieves on the run kidnap the wife of a recently discharged marine who goes on a chase through the South Carolinian wilderness to retrieve her. The Marine is the first of the 5 Marine films that are all been produced by WWE it self and so far it's gotta be the worst of them all. First as good as Cena might be as a wrestler he is bad on picking scripts and this film is the perfect example, i mean common how in the hell does this film have Manu Bennett, Robert Patrick and John Cena and it's still a mess? First of all it's boring and slow and 2nd of all it has some dumb humor choices that i can't understand, Cena spends an entire film with a knife and not a single gun and although there are a couple of good moments of action and Patrick is great as the villain, there's nothing more to it than that. It tries to be Commando meets Rambo but it lacks both the tone, the jokes and the action of both of those films and in the end it's a disappointment for sure. (4/10)

Neil Welch Ex-Marine John Triton, finding trouble fitting into civilian life, gets dragged into chasing a bunch of crooks when his wife is kidnapped.I know nothing about WWF wrestling, but I gather John Cena, who plays Triton, is one of its exponents, and the movie success of Dwayne Johnson, also a wrestler in a previous life, may explain the existence of The Marine as a vehicle for Cena. There's only one problem: Johnson can act, Cena can't.And not only can't he act, he fails to do so in a film which would have required acting of Oscar-winning standards to overcome the ridiculous script - in one car chase, a car he is driving is peppered with machine gun fire (as evidenced by the bullet strikes all over the bonnet, sides and roof) without a tyre being hit or, more importantly, Cena himself given that he is driving having knocked out the windshield. Mind you, let's be fair, he's holding up a bulletproof vest in one arm to protect himself (of course, this means he can't see where he's going, but let's overlook that).Robert Patrick is the main villain and looks as if he's having fun chewing scenery. Kelly Carlson is Triton's wife and looks like a young Sharon Stone. There is no other reason for watching this film.

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.
