The Marine Review

The Marine. This was the worst, plot-less, poorly acted, nonsensical, illogical insult to the film industry (and to the laws of physics; but I've long since learned to deal with that due to the rest of Hollywood's movies) I've ever seen.

As I mentioned; the plot (if you can call it that) was barely existent and was ridiculously childish at best. The fact that Rome's (the main bad guy) plans kept changing and becoming increasingly unjustifiable and more stupid as the movie progressed annoyed me (along with his unbelievable persistence to keep the kidnapped wife alive despite her being the most detrimental thing to their plans since their moronic conception).

I won't reveal anything but the ending was ludicrous to the point of hilarity, however I fear the writers intended us to accept it seriously (though it makes the fact that John Cena jumps (or unrealistically throws someone into) almost every prop imaginable seem almost plausible).

The only reason I watched this movie in its entirety was because I wanted to see Robert Patrick play out this bad guy and I had already paid the $1 to rent the movie (in hindsight; not worth it). The sole not-unbearable aspect of the movie was the one "Terminator" reference that Robert Patrick responds to.

Perhaps it is my disappointment tending towards hostility that causes me to give this movie a (probably unfair) 1/10 due to not only the waste of 93 minutes of my life but also the strain of my eyes caused by the multitude of terribly fake explosions, but if I can save another human being from my fate then the 93 minutes of movie watching and 10 minutes of review writing will be well worth it.
