I by 3ple A	Oct 9th, 2006 10:25:32 AM
actualy want to see this film, good old action movie.
What! No mention of Eric the Midget?! by darquelyte	Oct 9th, 2006 10:25:43 AM
I heard he got to go to the premiere, as the WWE people WANTED him there. This might be a decent Saturday matinee or drive-in movie, just good stupid action. ~ÐL
Are you serious? People actually want to see this? by Castor777	Oct 9th, 2006 10:33:07 AM
I clicked on the link hoping to read about how everyone laughed and found this film to be so idiotic. When I saw the trailer in theatres last week so many people were laughing their ass off by the end of it. I'm not against mindless action movies and I'll watch them from time to time, but this just looked flat out retarded as all hell.
America! Fuck yeah!!!! by CTU Mole	Oct 9th, 2006 10:35:03 AM
I just finished the Official Game of the US Army on my X Box and now I'm going to see the Marine and after that, I'm enlisting so I can kill me some A-rabs. RUMSFELD!!!!!
Cena is no Rock by sfezfilms	Oct 9th, 2006 10:59:10 AM
Saying that Cena is no Rock isn't saying much for Cena. But then it doesn't really surprise me.
Cena reminds me by Jonesey1111	Oct 9th, 2006 11:17:45 AM
of the typical asshole bully on a playground full of kids. Damn that bully...damn him.
The Marine? by Goatboy	Oct 9th, 2006 11:26:06 AM
Do you get a free flag to wave with this?
Cena is No Rock = Gigli is No Battlefield Earth by Read and Shut Up	Oct 9th, 2006 11:31:23 AM
...be serious, for God's sake.
I'd like to know, if any of the talbackers... by Shermdawg	Oct 9th, 2006 11:34:53 AM
have been to a RAW show lately? Do they edit the boo's from the televison feed and choose certain crowd shots to make it look like Cena is popular? They did some stuff like that back in WCW, and given the MAJOR change in reactions as of late, when his movie debut is about to hit, something smells fishy. I'm thinking Vince and Co. are doing everything they can to prevent this thing from bombing. All year long John Cena was the most hated superstar on the planet, and for those who don't watch wrestling, I'm not saying he was a "heel" (villian), I'm saying people just flat-out hated the sonuvabitch. Hell, even the announcers admitted it. For awhile there, the only interesting thing on WWE programming was tuning in for the negative Cena chants, yet, after the great Lex Luger debacle of '93, they keep feeling the need to keep pushing him down our throats, just for the sake of the movie's box office. I hope the thing tanks. There's a ton of of other WWE superstars, past and present, that deserved a movie before this hack.
PG-13 by godoffireinhell	Oct 9th, 2006 11:35:39 AM
This film was doomed when they cut out all the violence to make it suitable for the majority of Cena's barely pubescent fans. The inevitable unrated DVD will be fun though, of that I'm almost ceratin.
Cena's a wrestler? by Goatboy	Oct 9th, 2006 11:38:06 AM
A wrestler in a movie called The Marine? So you get a free flag and a punch to the side of the head for being stupid enough to hand over your money? Awesome \m/
btw, don't forget, Raw starts an hour early tonight. by Shermdawg	Oct 9th, 2006 11:38:38 AM
3hrs!!! Hopefully Sir William Regal's cock won't show up to the "Raw Family Reunion"
Hey, where's Captain Lou Albano's.. by Borgnine JR	Oct 9th, 2006 11:51:37 AM
...action movie? He could fight his alternate earth Evil Twin;a Captain Lou with paper clips on his face!
It looks pretty good by Tron8278	Oct 9th, 2006 12:08:18 PM
This looks like an uptate to Commando. Instead of his daughter, he's trying to rescue his wife. I will definately be there opening weekend.
This may be big enough to top by StarBlitzer	Oct 9th, 2006 12:13:14 PM
The Big Show Thanksgiving special...AND FIRST!
WTF???? by uberman	Oct 9th, 2006 12:26:16 PM
What timing. Who is the major league moron that saw this as a good idea right in the middle of this clusterfuck known as 'Iraq...er...Vietnam, part II?' Wow. Why not put out a movie called 'THE CONGRESSMAN' about a steroid induced roid head who battles cardboard baddies who abduct little boys and try to look at their pee pees. The CONGRESSMAN then kicks that baddies asses six ways to Monday. End with glorious shot of American Flag flying over a setting sun.
It looks fucking retarded. by Da Coach	Oct 9th, 2006 12:43:13 PM
That is all.
John Cena looks like Wahlberg on steroids by OhDaesu	Oct 9th, 2006 01:11:15 PM
Kind of looks like a crossbreed of Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg. I hate wrestling and this movie looks like dreck so I'm skipping on this one.
Hey, Read and Shut Up... by www.valiens.com	Oct 9th, 2006 02:35:44 PM
That's genius.

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!
"have been to a RAW show lately?" by Dr. Hilarius	Oct 9th, 2006 03:03:03 PM
Nope. I also haven't slept with my cousin. Judging from this movie, they stopped testing for roids in the Marines. I guess that's better than the Army's recruiting decision to stop testing for breathing.
Shermdawg, you outed yourself! by theBigE	Oct 9th, 2006 03:13:58 PM
You rasslin' fan, you! I didn't even realize wrestling is still on - don't most people stop watching it by the time they turn 14?
Why this movie will suck by The Game Master	Oct 9th, 2006 03:29:40 PM
This movie will suck dead moose balls because of McMahon's ego. Vince owns Cena, and as always, he puts his ego before good business sense. Now, I would have welcomed a new "Commando" style movie, and Cena has just as much non-acting ability as Arnold did in his early days. However, Cena will not be allowed to grow any more than he is allowed to be his naturally schoolyard bully-heel self on RAW, as McMahon is determined to tell his audience what they're supposed to like (i.e. Cena the hero on RAW). I agree with those who say this movie will be edited unecessarily. McMahon will chop up the violence (the only thing a movie like this has going for it) to make it "family friendly" to his supposed Cena fans, thereby cutting out the teens and adults who would pay a lot more to see it. Like the audience on RAW, the movie will be a feeble attempt at audience mind-control rather than letting it become its own entity, and all because McMahon can't stand his audience preferring something different than what he originally intended. In other words, instead of going with the audience and making say 20 or 30 million, McMahon will do the same as editing out the boos and catcalls on RAW to appeal to pre-teens and make maybe 5 million. That genius, McMahon. Rock was smart to get out when he did.
anyone who watches WWE and is 18 and over by Exeter	Oct 9th, 2006 03:52:21 PM
needs to be shot on sight.
ric flair by the-man-who-falls	Oct 9th, 2006 04:22:03 PM
this man is like dick vitale, tony little and like crazy al pacino all hopped up on crystal meth. the unintentional hilarity the raw show brings every week is better than what snl is putting on these days.
They Live... by Neil McCauleys Crew	Oct 9th, 2006 04:25:58 PM
best movie starring a wrestler who's name is not Hogan or Rock.
Ric Flair by Mechasheeva	Oct 9th, 2006 05:09:45 PM

At Least Kanes' Movie Was... by ripper t. jones	Oct 9th, 2006 05:26:19 PM
...Directed by one of the Dark Bros. Now THAT'S Sublime.
this film aint no No Holds Barred by triplefive	Oct 9th, 2006 05:57:55 PM
now THAT was a fucking movie. and Terry Funk has a bit part in Over The Top. wrestlers and film go so well together.

So sue me....
Are you for serial? by HumbertHumbert	Oct 9th, 2006 06:49:02 PM
One of the most obvious plants I've ever seen on this site. But why are you reading this? See The Departed!
Okay, the guy who submitted this is called by CreasyBear	Oct 9th, 2006 07:00:17 PM
Sgt Haughter? Is that Sgt Haff-ter like rhymes with laughter, or Hotter like rhymes with daughter? English is confusing.
Don't be surprised when by StarBlitzer	Oct 9th, 2006 07:02:55 PM
that movie announcer guy's voice is heard before this movie heralding the advent of "Thunder in Paradise: The Movie." You've been warned.
Mechasheeva: My high school had Roy Jones, Jr. by CreasyBear	Oct 9th, 2006 07:14:23 PM
and football pro Derrick Brooks. (I guess neither of our high schools were really cranking out the famous brainiac nuclear physicists or anything. Although maybe so. Nuclear physicists don't really get that famous, now that I think about it.)
Yes, I like wrestling. Sue me. by Shermdawg	Oct 9th, 2006 07:47:20 PM
It's better than a good percentage of the shit thats on tv. And just like World of Warcraft, you guys are into it too, but don't have the balls to admit it. Despite the "Cool" in this site's title, you know damn well it's a geek haven. So there's no need to remain in the closet, and hate on everything just because "hating" is the popular thing to do around here. And no matter how ridiculous wrestling may be at times, it's NOWHERE near the level that 24 strives to be at. Yeah, I went there.
Wrestling Is Uber Fucking Gay by The Ender	Oct 9th, 2006 08:17:16 PM
With a German Accent. Wrestling is Uber Fucking Gay. The Bad Gay. The Gay you dont want hanging around your kids, or stepping behind you in a shower because they will put a fist up your asshole and suck your balls while you scream bloody murder fucking gay.
Comparing Wrestling To 24? Shermdawg You Just Lost it.. by The Ender	Oct 9th, 2006 08:18:40 PM
Seriously. Take that back right now. And yes, I am suing you.
No, I won't take it back. by Shermdawg	Oct 9th, 2006 09:03:37 PM
My comparison was not so much between the two's content as much as it was how they treat it's viewers. The WWE doesn't take itself seriously, for the most part, it knows the fans are in on the joke. But 24, which is praised for it's writing, continually comes across as ridiculous with the scenarios they keep pulling out of their ass, AND recycling bin. 24 and wrestling are very similiar in the fact that they recycle storylines all of the time, but in 24, it's way more obvious, or at least I had hoped it would be. A lot of people are still swallowing the shit they are serving us and labeling it "smart television". Another thing, if 24 was wrestling, after building him up for five freaking years, Tony would have got at least a long running feud with "the champ" Jack Bauer, and maybe even a title run. But no, they kick his ass to the curb just to shock the viewers. It was not shocking, it was insulting. Not to say the WWE doesn't insult, it's just nobodie's expecting World Wrestling Entertainment to be labeled as "smart television".
Gay? by ripper t. jones	Oct 9th, 2006 09:46:34 PM
Gay? Have you seen the t&a on WWE programming? Gay? I don't think so.
Yes, wrestling is awesome by Daddylonghead	Oct 9th, 2006 10:52:44 PM
I'm very literate and cultured blah blah and I still enjoy watching wrestling 'cause it's fun and exciting and dramatic. It goes through its ups and downs, but it's consistently the best thing on TV. Anyone who hates on the WWE is pretensious and probably is into 5 million other far lamer things. "Wrestling's stupid! I prefer listening to Slipknot and watching Anime!"
Guys, just quit while you're behind. by CTU Mole	Oct 9th, 2006 11:20:45 PM
24 is the best thing to hit television in decades and wrestling is for people who think NASCAR is too classy and not homoeroric enough. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
where the fuck is vern? by s0nicdeathmonkey	Oct 9th, 2006 11:23:05 PM
shouldnt he be here?
van damme was better at this by Bob C. Cock	Oct 10th, 2006 12:33:46 AM
and his split-kicks were a whole lot better too.
Damn you Vinne Mac! by Monstar	Oct 10th, 2006 12:58:56 AM
yeah i stole this.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! by Monstar	Oct 10th, 2006 01:00:55 AM
...sorry i needed to add that.
Is it just me... by JackRabbitSlim	Oct 10th, 2006 05:35:05 AM
or is this guy a cloned version of Matt Damon - the Matt Damon clone that started working out at age 12 and has been mainlining 50 mil of D-bol on a daily basis for the past 3 years? Just a vague impression i get.
Where the hell..... by RIPITTOSHREDS	Oct 10th, 2006 07:51:02 AM
is West Newbery anyway and why are wrestlers acting in there self financed piece of crap movies??
I do enjoy a great wrestling match by CatoTheCensor	Oct 10th, 2006 08:09:39 AM
I enjoy great wrestling matches when the crowd is into it...Flair v. Steamboat, Steamboat vs. Savage, Hart vs. Austin, Michaels vs. Hart, etc.... Since there really are never good wrestling matches on wrestling, I never saw much point in watching it. If someone sent me a tape of the Benoit vs. Jericho vs. Triple H three way match though, I'd probably watch it. Heard it was good.
I will by godzillasushi	Oct 10th, 2006 09:23:14 AM
not see this movie. The End.
"Like a muscled up Matt Damon ate by Nezzer6364	Oct 10th, 2006 10:40:31 AM
another Matt Damon for breakfast." I can’t remember where that quote is from, but anytime I see the trailer that’s the first thing I think of.
HumbertHumbert, I like your idea... by NapoleonDynamite	Oct 10th, 2006 12:02:53 PM
but you've got the wrong title. It should be called THE SEAMAN.
Plot holes, eh? In a movie starring a wrestler? by MattCG	Oct 10th, 2006 07:08:21 PM
SHOCKING!!! I'm still seeing it, looks like complete shit.
On the shelf. by Power_Girl	Oct 10th, 2006 09:40:11 PM
This has been on the shelf for a while at Fox. This was shot in my home town area and all the locations scream Australian countryside. I'm sure There is another one shooting here at the moment with a guy called Steve Austin in it. The WWE films have been very badly handeled the movies look like DTV stuff that only get screened at the movies because WWE throws their weight around.
