the marine be just a silly film by wwe simply to entertain it fan base and far it empire . for one to judge the marine you need to take into account that this film be intend to entertain action fan with a no brainer and cheesy and action and popcorn flick and a a popcorn flick the marine succeed . john cena be actually a good actor and he play his invincible and heroic and one man strike force character to perfection a do robert patrick with his absolutely hilarious character . the marine have the most unbelievable stunt and at some time they be almost unbearably bad . the fight sequence be great and very intense and very hardcore and but the explosion and special effect be brutally unrealistic and cheesy . the film also have some of the most annoying and campy and corny and dialog ever capture on film . it so bad you feel like youre re watch 1997 batman and robin . a a follower of pro wrestling i be aware that john cena currently have a love or hate relationship with wwe fan . female and adolescent love cena while male hate him . my guess be that the marine be make in order to change male fan opinion by make an action film that generally appeal to them . however judging by the overall imdb rating wwe fail to do so . i wouldn not necessarily say the marine be a bad film but it be incomparable and can not compete with mainstream action film like the transporter and crank and or district b13 however if you enjoy direct to dvd action flick that have a thin storyline but some great action scene like special force or belly of the beast than the marine be more suited to you . it definitely not the bad film ever make and i think for the most part it because it doesn not take itself seriously and admit it a popcorn flick . overall the marine be just silly action much like wrestle and much like wrestle the character be whacky and at time unbelievable .
