The Marine

**Mwynn** · 02-08-2007, 05:39 PM

How this movie missed out on a razzie is beyond me. The script, directing and acting was down right horrid.

Robert Patrick has not had much since The X-files, yet he should have run from this one.

Not only did they throw the logic out the window, they then dosed it in fuel and lit it up.

Patrick and his cronies are grade A morons.

Patrick's doing well on the tv show The Unit.

I have not seen that yet. This movie though wow.

They rob a diamond store, using the old hostage is accomplice trick. Only the guy behind the glass is in on it. So why use the trick, when the guy you want to trick is with you?

Cena survives no less than 3 buildings exploding with him in it, as well as a car.

Then that police car, a two seater.

Please, anyone who goes to see a wrestler act deserves whatever they get. I refuse to put money into Vince McMahon's hands.

You know you loved They Live!

It wasn't supposed to be a great movie though. It was supposed to be a high action film with a high action "star". I haven't seen it as I figured it probably would have sucked, but I certainly can't think of anyone who would have expected more, you know?

Yup sure did but it was still an ass movie. Just stupid, silly, garbage, with a few great scenes. But I wasn't expecting anything so why bitch after the fact. Waste of time.

It was a john carpenter flick anyway...McMahon films suck...ha so does wrestling! There I said it!

RandallFlagg · 02-09-2007, 01:20 AM

You know, I liked The Marine. It sucked, the acting was definitely subpar, the plot (what there was of one) was terrible, and there were more slo-mo explosions than in any other movie. But despite all of that (or maybe because of it), I liked this. It was a horrible mindless action movie, and that's what endeared it to me.

Calloway · 02-09-2007, 01:34 AM

That and no marine would be that big. It's a hinderance. Marines are built for quickness, strength and endurance. Not just brute strength.

To each their own.

I do like the fact that Cena went through boot camp in preparation for the film to experience that end of it though

SethNI · 02-10-2007, 03:52 PM

I watched it last night. Quite enjoyed it, actually. I thought Robert Patrick made the film. He is as cool as a cucumber! And when one dude mentioned the marine was like the Terminator, and Robert Patrick glanced into the mirror... that was great!!!
All in all, i've seen a lot worse movies.

John Cena really isn't that big. This week on Raw, he was in the same ring with Batista, Bobby Lashley and the Undertaker. Compared to those guys, Cena looked normal built.

Gonzogoose · 02-10-2007, 08:04 PM

He's still huge compared to normal guys though. When they showed him going through bootcamp he was much bigger than everyone else there, both in height and build. Cena also did a reality paintball hunter type show before coming up to the WWE and he was huge compared to the contestants.
