this movie tries..the humor in it works..the action not so much..but this movie is just 90 mins of cheese..not too bad

Not a very good movie. There is some action, some one liners, some stuff, but you don't really care about any of it.

This film is about what you would get if you were making a porno, but removed the sex and added action.

I hate cops ... and rock candy.

EEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Not bad for that though

A slam-bang actioner without a brain. This nonsense is reminiscent of the old '80s actioners, but not quite as fun, despite the presence of Robert Patrick, who gives the film its only life. John Cena is depicted as immortal and untouchable (just watch as he runs out of a burning building, after being blown up in it(!), and emerging unscathed). Cena couldn't act to save his life.

So. Many. Explosions.

Wow, just wow. Cena is amazing in this film about a man on a mission; a mission to kick b*tt!! If you love explosions you'll be pleased that the antagonists have a guy on their team who specialises in blowing things up ON PURPOSE! 10 thumbs up (out of 10) Also, liquid metal man.

"While The Marine's real-world connections to the War in Iraq are brief and incidental to its minimal plot, that fact doesn't make its reductive attitudes any more pleasant to swallow." - Rob Humanick

There's nothing really unique about this movie other than Cena's unconvincing acting. A cheesy soundtrack, cliche special effects, and Cena's implausible survival skills (he makes Rambo look vulnerable) make this one very missable unless you are an action film junkie.

Not a mindless but enjoyable action film, a mindless and tediously dull action film. The two characters that are anything more than cardboard cut-outs are so poorly developed that instead of adding depth as intended they are stretched wide and thin making them transparent. Explosions, guns, cars, sexy women and hulking men aplenty, but it's just not worth the stimulation of your adrenal gland when your frontal cortex shuts down out of boredom.

For a film that's sole purpose was to give wrestling fans a 90 minute film of John Cena blowing things up, I suppose that The Marine served its purpose. The plot is simplified and the action scenes are not all that well-made. It's not a bad enough film to provide constant laughter, but it's also not entertaining enough for non-WWE fans to get enjoyment out of it. Hardcore John Cena fans are the target audience, and they're also the only ones that are likely to get entertainment from The Marine.

Gun-Ho crap but ideal watching for a hungover Sunday afternoon.

Robert Patrick is a much better villain than the film deserves and there is a pretty good car chase. That said, John Cena and Kelly Carlson are horrible and the script almost as bad. Still, pretty straightforward 80's actioner.

When I figured out the movie was going to be completely boobless, and that Robert Patrick wasn't going to wag a finger at anyone, I turned it off. Probably somewhere after the 17th time Cena dodged a flying car in slow-motion or something. It'd get more points if Patrick was wearing a mirrored mask, and yelled "Cobra! Retreeeeat!" every time Cena hit one of his thugs with a flaming pickup.

30 points for robert patrick's acting, -10 points for john cena's "acting"

Ignore the score. This is one of the funniest movies ever made! I imagine that when they were making this movie, they had a little wheel out that would land on "action movie cliches", and then they would act them out. Cena is a savage, no one in this movie can shoot a gun worth a damn, etc. It's awesome/terrible.

A ridiculous 80s action film produced in 2006. The hero's muscles are bulging and the one-liners are flying, and it's all perfectly amusing. It's only a shame that it's PG-13, because some gore, tits, and F-bombs would have made it all the better.

Great stuff.

A throwback to the 80s action film where everything explodes and people trade one-liners before offing each other. Only, it's somehow not as good.

The new Commando.

Made 10 years too late.

Perfect for drinking games, bad for your sanity.

Hahahahaha...John Cena "acting". Seriously, avoid this movie like the plague. My friend and I had to create a drinking game for it just to get through it.

Screw the military, and screw "professional" wrestlers. I don't need to see this movie to know it's utter trash, made for trash, by trash.

John Cena delivers all the class and elegance you've come to expect from the WWE. What the movie lacks in thespian accomplishment, though, it makes up for with action straight out of a mid-80s Schwarzenegger flick. Characters, acting, plot, believability--these are not the point. The point is muscley man go smashy smashy bang boom pow, and go smashy smashy he does. Grab some buds and some brews, send your special lady off to watch The Hours with her friends, and just enjoy the explosions.

how many times can the hero be trapped inside something that explodes... and survive it?

Pretty God damn awful. The dialog is terrible, the pacing is terrible, the plot is mediocre, the characters are forgettable but I'll be damned if this wasn't fun to see in the theatre with my friends. We burst out laughing every time John Cena G.I. Joe'd out of explosions. It's one of those "so bad it's good" type films.

Some of the worst shit I've seen. Completely braindead. Could just as well have been called "How many times a guy can jump out of exploding buildings without suffering major injuries". One almost funny moment though: When someone mentions The Terminator and Robert Patrick reacts in an odd way, hehe.

Not at all the new Commando. I was disappointed by the lack of Commando.
