Product: The Marine (Unrated Edition) (2006)
Rating: 1.0
This movie would have been better if was a half hour long explosion compilation
Now The Marine doesn't try to be a good movie, it lets you know right from the beginning what it is going to be. A huge muscleman marine is told to wait for the rest of the soldiers on a mission. He says "not enough time" and charges in to blow things up. Next scene he is being discharged and has to go find a job as a security guard. This is all in the first 2 minutes of the movie. The thing that really bothered me about the movie was that everything that went on really had no point and did not make a difference later in the film. That isn't the only thing they weren't able to complete, not by a long shot. The bad guys have this big black guy on their side and he is not unfunny, they just don't give him anything funny to say. I seriously think that he didn't complete a single joke. In fact, the liquid metal guy from Terminator 2 stars as the main bad guy and they even throw in a reference to that and it was the only joke they actually completed. I thought that it was the least bad part of the movie.Now the reason I went to see this was becasue I was told it had great fights. The shootouts were nice to look at and the explosions became so repetitious I almost fell asleep, but the fights were once again just the same old I hit you and then you hit me style. The best fight of the movie included 2 characters who were never explained and this scene could have been from entirely different film for all I know. So if you are looking for the worst big budget movie of the year, then check this out.
