See A Strangely Pudgy Robert Patrick Take On...THE MARINE!!
Okay...see...I love this kind of film.
It's shameless, over-the-top, unapologetic, well executed, balls-to-the-wall entertainment. No pretense, no potentially dashed hopes of it being anything other than what it looks like from this trailer. This is the testosterone overdosed kind of insanity that'll send folks like Vern and ABking into conniptions for months...and I can't wait.
Check out the trailer for THE MARINE! It features WWE's John Cena in a movie produced by WWE's theatrical divison, which means this thing has Vince McMahonness all over it. The film will be scored by Don Davis (most things MATRIX, JURASSIC PARK III).
"http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/themarine.html;_ylt=Aq7up8oaqsh8pUOSj4FVOSBfVXcA" target=parent>WATCH IT!!!
Reminds me of THE RUNDOWN, another McMahon-produced film which I really enjoyed. 'Twas far better than it should have been, all things being equal. The Rock being violated by jungle monkeys? Sublime entertainment.
THE MARINE opens October 13.

So fuck everything about him except T2.
-
The 80's are back!!! The retro craze has hit the movie biz.
-
Not exactly brain surgery, and I'm not sure if Cena will be the actor The Rock is (ok, not that Rock's all that and a bag of chips eaither), but the movie looks fine. Reminds me of some of the early Arnold stuff.
-
...at the gas station, is what it looked like. Is he wearing a fat suit for some reason and some odd latex appliances, or is he a plastic surgery disaster? Anyway, I'm sure glad we're finally gonna have some "shameless, over-the-top, unapologetic, well executed, balls-to-the-wall entertainment"-- I'm so sick of all these deep-thinking message pictures like Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift and Pirates of the Caribbean that we've been getting all summer.
-
Looks cool but its plastic... besides Cena is a lousy wrestler, a worst rap singer (if u call that sing) and he's no Scorpion King. Basically this is junk food for the ignorant masses. METALLICA RULES!!!!
-
my best time ever....
-
looks cool as hell to me! love me some balls to the wall action.
-
first I guess, for the first time ever. My hate for Robert Patrick sends me into super-speedy mode.
-
Stick to homoerotic glam grappling where I can ignore it in peace!
-
Doesnt look bad at all. I'll probably check it out.
-
Cause if so I feel a lot better about it now that I've seen a trailer for his "Commando". I still don't think it should be remade, but if this guy and McMahon want to bring back the mindless 80's action flick, then I say more power too them. There have been too many chop sockey Matrix rip-offs recently. I just want to see a big dumb American punch his way out of things.
-
It looks like he got shot so many times that his morphing abilities have malfunctioned and he can't keep a coherent form. And yes, The X-Files definitly jumped the shark when he came on the scene. Actually it was right after the feature film.
-
This guy is so pumped up on roids it's silly. Even his eyeballs are just screaming to be set free of his sockets.
Honestly, this trailer reminds me of the rundown a bit, in only the way it presents the freeze frame action, and the camera angles.
It also reminds me of Hard Target quite a bit.
Robert Patrick (who is really good in The Unit - he didn't ruin the Xfiles - come on) seems to be having a blast spewing trite silly lines.
I can't imagine ever watching this on anything but cable though. -

Okay first off, no one knew The Rundown was produced by WWE and we all know movies with pro wrestlers aren't good unless they play a pro wrestler (See The Macho Man as Bone Saw in Spidey 1). The only exception is The Rundown, and I don't even like that movie! However in movies where pro wrestlers make an appearance there have been some cool scenes and this by no means gives credit to those movies! Some performances have been pretty decent until said wrestlers perform their special "move" This movie might be mind-numbing entertainment until John Cena perfroms his signature move then it will blow. Wrestling fans will fight for this movie but I think it will be just under par but I will give it an open mind. Lets just hope they don't get carried away with themselves. What I mean by that is a war movie with a "Dirty Dozen" like group of pro wrestlers.
-
...but I don't follow wrestling beyond what my friends mention, and don't know Cena from sayonara, but I watched this thinking Steve Rogers brought to life. Is this guy a tremendously bad actor, 'cause it was tough to tell from that. I like The Rock quite a bit, and he is a decent actor that tries different things (like Be Cool)and can carry a film if he needs to, but I need some imput on Cena to judge beter. Physically though, I can see that face under the blue cowl really easily
-
Merrick called it right about me, I think this trailer looks awesome. That is a truly ridiculous amount of explosions right there. I love the part where they shoot at the bottom of an airborne car, that's inspired. And I'm so happy to see that the avenging-the-death-of-your-wife formula is coming back to theatrical films. Every other generic plot survives so it's good to see that old classic escape the DTV dungeon. The one question is this Cena guy. Notice that they only give him one line in the trailer, and he delivers it horribly. Hopefully he will be as good as Brian Bosworth or Howie Long and things will work out, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, somebody said STONE COLD, this actually reminds me more of Bosworth's ONE TOUGH BASTARD/ONE MAN'S JUSTICE because in that one his wife and kid get killed at a gas station. I gotta sort of correct Merrick about THE RUNDOWN, though. Vince McMahon's only "producing" for that movie was to be paid for the use of the copyrighted name "The Rock." If he has ever done any real producing it was probaly for the spectacularly retarded and awesome SEE NO EVIL, which was the first under the prestigious WWE Films banner.
-
there is nothing wrong with WWE having a film division. The problem becomes if they don't give a shit if the quality is andy good. I didn't see See No Evil, but apparently it was wretched. And Peter Berg should be to The Rock what Cameron is to Arnold. The Rundown is a very good action movie.
-
SENA thinks he's SLY and ARNOLD and that's fine...but he can't hold a candle to them...having said that, this looks like fun! Rumor has it he will make a direct-to-dvd sequel to Sly's classic DEMOLITION MAN! Oh well...
-
actually I can think of a better film starring a pro wrestler in a non pro wrestler role then the Rundown and that was THEY LIVE! with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper...one of the greatest 80s action liners came from that movie, delivered with such seriousness "I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum...and I'm all out of bubblegum"
-
Please tell me you're not comparing Peter Berg to James Cameron.
-
go from 30 (T2) to 60 (the marine, wank the line) in just 15 years? It boggles the mind...
-
hey AB, just wanted to let you know it's Cena not Sena, but that's just nitpicky, no big...is he really going to do a D2DVD Demo. Man 2...if so who's going to be doing Wesley's part?//Hey Vern are we going to get a Bring it On 3 review, I'm dying to hear your thoughts on that
-
didnt this come out 20 years ago when it was called 'Commando'? still, it looks fun. "Remember, when I promised to kill you last? I lied."
-
This film is a total rip on Arnie's COMMANDO. That was a fun action yarn. Hope Cena brings on some wild action and fights. Too bad the film is rated PG-13 and not R like the bloody COMMANDO.
-
Will be starring in WWE Films next production venture
The Condemned -
I don't know who John Cena is (obviously a WWE wrestler, but I don't follow, so sue me). This is a very well-done trailer, IMO. If Ceno's a bad actor, they did a fine job coverign it up, because the expressions and reaction shots he shows look pretty decent. We may have just found our next Big Man Action Hero. I'll see this on DVD at the very least, unless I start seeing some good reviews come out. Not bad...
-
Please Solitaire stop saying that u see Steve Rogers in Cena before some asshole executive down at WB decides to be "creative" and destroy the comic book/movies franchise once and for all with that awful casting. U can have info on Cena at WWE but its biased, after all they are pushing this guy to be the next Rock or Austin. The truth is Cena is a gimmick wrestler and a really bad one. Its just the WWE's way of saying they are hip and cool and understand the new times and generations. Basically cause hip-hop is cool nowadays they decided to have a hip-hop wresler... think Marky Mark meets Vanilla Ice on a wrestling ring... YES IT IS THAT SCARY! So i beg of you not to refer Cena and Steve Rogers in the same sentence. Later dude....METALLICA RULES!!
-
I know I've said this to death, but it's still true. Maybe I'll check it on cable TV. All I was thinking while watching this trailer was, "Yeah! this is good old fashioned action stuff. No matrix ripoff crap." But then I saw the pg-13 and thought of all the quick cut, bloodless, non-bullet impact stuff to come. Oh well.. I guess Vince McMahon wants the kiddies to come out for John Cena, and that's his business. It's cool..I ain't bitter. After all, Vince's just a businessman and not an true artiste' like Craig R. Baxley. Craig would demand his bullet hits as they're intregal to the visual texture of the piece....or something. And he would be right dammit. Because when it comes to the world of dumb action flicks...Americans would rather have a greasy Big Mac than a veggie burger. Baxley is a genius. And Commando too AKA The Gold Standard of Dumb American Action Movies. If they had a re-release in theatres, I'd watch it 5x no joke. Harry you need to make Commando your next Alamo Drafthouse event. Anybody else agree?
-
Cena just basically remade COMMANDO with this film. Except he can't hold a candle to Schwarzenegger, his muscles or his bad ass-ness at the time!
-
No! That movie is Cheesy good. Not good. It has the Pro Wrestler One-kick-ass-scene rule. One great fight and the rest is cheesy. "Put on the Glasses" Your Wrong but I own the movie just for that fight. 9 bucks at Best Buy!
-
that this John Cena guy kinda looks like a beefed up Matt Damon? Or maybe it's just me.
-
...because I want Arnie back on the screen.
-
I loved him in T2 and Fire In The Sky, but then after that it seems that he decided that he wanted to chain smoke a carton of cigarettes a day - his voice sounds shot nowadays.
-
There's no daughter, Bennett ripoff, or female sidekick? This flick is certainly no Commando, but it's not a rip either.
-
That was a pretty good movie, and one of its main actors was Andre the Giant.
-
What is next, Nascar Films Inc?
Watching any sporting event that starts with WW should be grounds of summary state execution. -
alright, i'm canadian, but still. that looked just cool. lots of stuff gettin' blowed up, hot chicks, stuff blowin' up, and a bunch of non-sensical fight scenes that look like violence, violence, violence. c'mon, you anti-wrestling, need more substance arm-chair critics, let yourself enjoy some good ol'fashioned, ah-noldesque shakainery (sp?). remember when movies were meant to be enjoyed because they were so goofy?
-
hey I'm sorry man read it wrong...but comon, it's got more then one good fight, it's got the classic bank scene, it's got the good fight between him and the black guy and didn't he knock aorund the freaky chick a little too and it's got the great closing scene too where the naked chick is riding the ailen and she looks down and screams, while the TV has an ailen going on about Wes Carpenter or John Craven, something like that, she screams and the ailen is like what's wrong baby roll credits...but it is cheesy. but I have to admit I haven't seen all of the Rundown so I don't know much about it, but They Live man, classic...I got it for 5 bucks at Cock...Blockbuster...I think, it might have been at a local video store.
-
oh damn, good call, I totally forgot about the Princess Bride
-
Jesus Christ you're right! That really was a badass movie. Make that two movie exceptions! I love that movie!
-
...you know you're in for hilarity. I just hope Robert Patrick goes all T-1000 on his ass.
-
with his signature sequence of DOOM, the "Five Knuckle Shuffle", the "FU" (during which he looks at the camera) and then maybe the "STFU". Somebody please shoot me.
-
action hero's name be something like "Andy Flowers" or "Bernard Czicowics"? The action guy names are too cool. P.S. Rizzle: it's "chicanery", but I'm proud of you for sounding it out and using phonics.
-
A nice parody comic of this film is up at www.plotpulse.com. Do I even have to put up the www anymore?
-
I'm sure this guy breaks into a sweat washing the dishes. Are you telling me this guy is not taking roids intravenously?
-
WALK THE LINE, playing Johnny Cash's asshole father. He was very good in that.
-
...'yknow, with the casting in the spider-man movies and Nolan's Batman, not to mention Sin City, I was feeling safe...then I thought of jon peters and shit a couch. yep, you're right...
consider me humbled, brother. -
Since only children and women still pop for Cena while the guys boo him out of the building. He's trying to be this generation's Hulk Hogan with only knowing about 5 wrestling moves (and executing them horribly), recording albums (yes, there is a Hulk Hogan music album, unfortunately not rapping like the Macho Man did), and making lame movies while only appealing to marks who aren't old or smart enough to understand that good wrestling is 10000x better than good promo ability (and his promos have been stinking the joint up lately). Plus SuperCena is never booked to lose. Screw him.
-
He does look like Matt Damon halfway into his transformation into the Hulk. Pretty funny that we both noticed that.
-
You know that SAVE THE LAST DANCE rip-off that I've seen previews for recently.
-
I was watching Fairly Odd Parents today while packing up my apartment for my move and they were showing the episode where Timmy wishes his life as an action movie and the above was a quote, I thought that was hilarious and actually thought of that when I was watching this
-
It might be I have no idea I don't watch wrestling but I did see the commercial for step up. Looks horrible but if that is Cena I'll laugh my ass off.
-
It's not John cena in Step Up. Also, WWE has a new Wellness Policy which they are enforcing strictly, even for main eventers, at least until they get lazy again. So no 'roids. And finally, that spin kick is the single most athletic thing I've ever seen John Cena do. And i feel the need to see that in the theater.
-
which is weird, because he's pretty funny on his webshow "5 Questions" over at wwe.com. While he's not a fav of mine, I DO thik he will be a decent actor. If anyone saw that parody of A Few Good Men, he and JBL did for Wrestlemania 21, you'd know he's got promise. Hell, so does JBL. Also, being a artist type dude, I noticed something about Cena. He looks like a flesh and blood version of a John Byrne character. The facial features are,...heh, uncanny.
-
This is a movie site. No one, not even I, a big fan of wrestling, care that John Cena pisses you off. Not here. Not ever. And, John Cena lost to Umaga two weeks ago. Go back to touching yourself while looking at freeze frames of Samoa Joe. Pervert.
-
UUUUUUUUUUUMAGA! SAMOAN SPIKE! Cen'a costar said she was starring in this with The Rock in a TV interview. LOL.
-
And SuperCena only lost because of Edge's distraction plus UUUUUMAGA putting him through Stryker's chalkboard before the match. But I shudder to think how they will tie in this movie to on-screen storylines kind of like how that whole May 19th/Fake Kane thing happened to promote See No Evil. I'm REALLY hoping that WWE does a stoner road comedy starring RVD and Sabu
-
It is not that i actually give a shit about John Cena(I have to fight to stay awake during most WWE programming nowadays), but he is no worse then any other main eventer in WWE today. And he probably has just enough skill to pull of a film like this. He certaily has enough charm and charisma. And i would so watch a stoner comedy with RVD and Sabu. Just one more thing. UUUUUUMMMMMMMMAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! hehe
-
That's right. I went there.
-
are still three more than Hogan's big boot, leg drop repertoire...
-
And it is about as enforceable as jaywalking laws in Manhattan. come on - believing that none of these wrestlers do roids is ridiculous. why else does vince mcmahon continually refuse to pose for playgirl?
-
Premium is only $1.94 perGallon!!! How can this be! I'm paying $3.50 in LA for the cheap shit, and they can't even be bothered to not blow the place up. Bastards.
-
X-files went downhill when they introduced Monica Reyes. Also Carey Fucking Elwes wasn't helping.
-
Remember that mid-90s UPN game show where they had the hunters and the hunted? Cena was the ringleader of the three hunters who had paintball guns and tools to hunt and eliminate the contestants in the show. This film looks ok, even though it does have that WWE feel to it. ___KNEEL___
-
And there's actually wrestling, believe it or not. I think WWE has just gone too Hollywood and the wrestling has become an afterthought. It's a shame because guys like Christoper Daniels and AJ Styles should be at the top of the wrestling business. Anyone ever see their matches? Fuckin' incredible shit they do and they bust their asses almost every night. Cena couldn't ever dream of being that good nor could he ever pull off one of their moves. Anyone see Wrestlemania with his match against HHH? They were actually shouting "FUCK YOU CENA!!" and cheering for Hunter who was supposed to be the bad guy.
-
John Cena's a total Whigga. Nothing more pathetic than a white man trying to be black and ghetto. Lame.
-
...they are a hell of a lot better than Cena. The only thing nowadays worth seeing on WWE is DX. The slapstick comedy HBK and HHH do is just awesome. Some of the best material in the WWE. I also agree that Cena is great at 5 Questions and sucks at everything else. But that doesnt make him a good actor. Even Ashton Kutcher and the Stiffmeister are better actors than Cena, and for the record I HATE THOSE GUYS!! I think Cena will be around (unfortunately) for the next few years, at least until the demise of hip-hop mentality. Then, we will appear at Wrestlemania as one of those old wreslers that were sucessfull just because of a gimmick... kinda like Hulk Hogan nowadays. Later dudes.
-
Lots of people like wrestling here, ive counted like 5 total(including me). Thats about four more then I expected( see? cause I knew i Liked it. Thats the joke. Funny math.) Anyways, the Wellness Policy(capped cause thats how WWE does it) is not a joke. Not yet. It will be again soon, just like it was before Eddy died. But right now, they are coming down hard on any one whose piss seems funny in any way, even guys who only have elevated liver enzymes, which could be the result of lots of things besides 'roids and drugs. But that won't last.
-
Look at pics of Cena when he was a competition bodybuilder. If there was any time in his life he did inject, it was then. He must of weighed 50 pounds more then he does now, all of it in his shoulders and chest. Freakish
-
Cena's old gimmick in Ohio Valley Wrestling before he came to the WWE? He played a Terminator-like character called "The Prototype". I'm surprised nobody has ever made jokes about him on WWE about that.
Also, I didn't think HHH did a bad job in "Blade: Trinity". I know that Edge was in "Highlander 4", but I never saw that, so I couldn't comment. I would like to see Christian Cage do some movie work...he does some good promos on TNA and when he was in WWE. -
Christian is in Shoot 'Em Up, along with, I believe, Chris Jericho. And when Cena was in OVW, that was right after he stopped bodybuilding, and he still had alot of the size from it. Plus, little factoid, Samoa Joe and Cena both wrestled in UPW, which kinda became OVW. Joe took the title off him, i think, and was the last UPW champ. So see? Im not a Cena geek. I'm a wrestling geek. I thought there might be some confusion. Like any one cares.
-
Wrestlers in the begining, I believe the Fabulous Freebirds. Good movie...
-
The Wellness Policy IS a joke. I mean today they brought back Jeff freakin Hardy who was too drugged out to make 3 appearances a month for TNA but somehow will show up like 15-20 times a month? And with the wellness policy only Eugene has had his drug-related suspension disclosed (only cuz it was so close to Eddie's death and it was before the wellness thing was worked out) while all others are secret as people like Chris Masters and Joey Mercury disappear in thin air and only the internet reporters find out what's up. Plus it seems like the whole wellness thing affects Smackdown, the WWE's b-show, as opposed to Raw with Masters the only one who took the hit from the Raw brand while Smackdown has lost a number of people.
-
They disclosed why Lashley and Khali were pulled,although they didn't know why their enzymes were up. Obviously, it wasn't a violation, because they were both back tonight. But really, they dont have to tell anyone. And really, they shouldn't. As to why Raw hasn't been hit as hard, it is because alot of the wrestlers on that show are known for being cleaner then (appearently) some of the guys on Smackdown. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and actually even john Cena are all known to be pretty hardcore about staying clean. Tho, i never said Cena hasn't ever used steroids, and even said he probably had when he was body building. And i never said no one used, just that WWE are being hard assed about the Wellness Policy right now. I also said it wouldn't last. And it won't.
-
The ones on Raw who have had problems in tha past have had help, and probably really dont want to lose their jobs, and another violation would do that. Jeff Hardy was fired not for being addicted, but because he would'nt go into rehab. And that is actually why it has taken so long for him to come back, because he didn't want to follow the policy. Must have worked it out, or maybe they've stopped giving a shit a lot sooner then i thought they would.
-
Hell, if I want to watch two drug-abusers not hitting each other, I'll work nights at my local rehab center. Wrestling? NASCAR? Truly, 2006 is becoming Year Of The Redneck Sports Crossover Movie. What next? Over The Top 2: The Pro-Celebrity Tobacco Juice Spitting Contest?

-
I thought that the Rundown was a ton of fun.
-
That film still holds up.
-
Looks like coughed up of shit. I dont mind the basic concept of this film which is basically action, and a lame plot. Just some friday night jerk off material when there's nothing else going on at the cinemas, but naming it 'the marine' when the only thing it has to do with marines is the protagonist used to be one. Seems a little too much pandering to the pro-iraq go army propaganda crap we've been seeing a lot of lately.
-
Or is it just me?
-
No More wrestling stuff. I just wanted to repeat that the spin kick he does in the trailer is possibly the single most athletic thing John Cena has ever done. I have to see that in the theater, Plus, explosions. There are atleast four seperate ones just in the trailer, and none of them look like the climatic, end of the bad guy explosion. And that is just too many things blowing up for me to ignore.
-
AICN needs more wrestling stuff.
-
AICN Wrestling is a thought I've had on a couple of times, why not we have AICN everything else...Herc, Harry someone give us this
-
and all the smoke has cleared check this http://tinyurl.com/nn2mf,don't say I never sort u lot out..Foley Vs Flair is the best feud in WWE right now,Awesome promos I love it.Samoa Joe and Senshi(LO-KI) are the top wrestlers for me at the moment.
-
And I thought the worst trailer I was going to see this year was for The Guardian. Not a single thing about this movie screams balls to the walls action. It saddens me that Don Davis is involved with this as I loved his work in Bound and the Matrix. Merrick my oppinion of you has dropped several points.
