The Marine 2

I was expecting something weak and lame like the wwe's Direct to video production Behinds enemy lines Colombia but this its far Way better. Good photography, entertaining action and a decent acting. Ted Dibiasi do it well and Michael Rooker play well his part. I love action films and more those how lead the 80's action flicks and this was a decent surprise. WWE can make entertaining action films, they need to get more average directors like this one. Special effects are very well and music too.

this is the proof that whit less money you could make a decent entreating action.

it almost follows the same plot as the previous installment.

But the point is that unlike the previous one, this movie tries to overcome the flaws.

They concentrated on a balance outcome of both the story and the action.

It may not be a perfect movie but i thought it was far better than The Marine.

The Marine had the same scenes of John Cena escaping bomb-blasts in the last sec. repeatedly shown in different locations.which i thought was pretty amateur.

but still am a Cena fan...............

The original "Marine" movie didn't exactly set the box office on fire, but it must have done well overseas and on DVD, since we now have this sequel (though this time around it went direct-to-DVD). I thought the first "Marine" was passable, so I was curious about this entry.

For a straight-to-DVD movie, the production values do beat most movies that fall in this category. However, throughout there are ample signs of budget constraints, where spectacle or just plain extra stuff seems missing.

The characters were mostly disappointing. Michael Rooker gives a good performance, but he's not in much of the movie. Ted DiBiase may not be the worst actor ever, but he is VERY unemotional and bland. The actors playing the chief villains are colorless, unlike Alan Rickman in "Die Hard" (which this movie rips off.) The lack of passion goes into the action sequences as well. Seldom did I feel any excitement watching any of the action. Little seems to have been done to pump up the action.

Whatever you thought of the first "Marine" movie, you'll regard this entry several notches below the original.

First of all I didn't expect much of this movie. But I actually got surprised a little. The story is nothing special, but surprisingly, the acting is decent. Ted actually gave a good performance taking into account that he is not an actor and he is at his first ever movie. Decent action, but now I know Vince loves the superman gimmick a lot, and I do mean A lot, but this is a little to much, he breaks his arm, but still uses it, he survives an explosion and a mountain coming down on him. I know it might be just me, but i do think that hat pulls the movie down a little.

Anyway, if you want a little entertainment on an afternoon, I recommend this movie, it works.

OK... As for a WWE movie, this was a little better than the first Marine. But, if you are going to make a movie, PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK. This movie supposed to be about a Marine, however, JUST LIKE IN THE FIRST MOVIE, they are wearing the WRONG UNIFORMS. In real life, you will never catch a Marine wearing Army digital camouflage. The uniforms worn by the two snipers at the beginning are from the U.S. Army, not from the U.S. Marines. The Marine "Marpat" digital camouflage is either dark green or desert tan, and in the desert, he should have been wearing the tan digital cami's. The ones he was wearing are the universal Army digi's. He was totally dressed as a soldier and not a Marine. In the first movie, Cena walked off the base wearing an Army hat (cover). This angered a lot of Marines, many Marines actually.

Sorry guys, just passionate about this type of stuff. As you can tell, I'm a former Marine. It just ticks me off that these people spend millions of dollars to make a movie, but can't get a uniform correct.
