Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

best movie i've ever seen.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Indulge yourself to an afternoon matinee on the tv while watching this somewhat action style film. Similar storyline to many a movie out there, couple on vacation one is a Marine (Dibiase), the other his wife as a advisor to hotel. They get there and all hell breaks loose with rebel forces taking over and taking hostages. Cue the Marine wanting to go in and get his wife and rescue the hostages. For a WWE movie it isn't terrible but the editing leaves little to be desired for. The characters are really flawed by no development to most of them. Michael Rooker with a small but complex role was well received. I would chalk this up to ok in action as the choreographed fight scenes were less than stellar. 4 out of 10

Pro wrestlers foraying into the world of movies seems to be some kind of a thing nowadays, and I can completely understand it: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson did it well, The music business has the cross-platform promotion working for them, and, like Seagal and Van Damme have proved years before, acting skills are not a mandatory requirement to act in an action movie.Maybe in order to avoid the embarrassment that former wrestler Hulk Hogan must (or at the very least should) feel from being associated with such notorious crimes against the art of movie-making as No Holds Barred, Mr. Nanny, Santa with Muscles, and The Ultimate Weapon, the WWE is holding the reins all the way here.As the title reveals, this film is a sequel to The Marine starring oh- so-wooden John Cena, though in spirit only. Unlike the aforementioned film, and also earlier Santa's Slay, The Marine 2 doesn't luckily ride so much on the name of it's main actor, as Ted Dibiase jr. was, at least at the time of the filming, quite some way away from wrestling main events.With this being said, the films plays it very safe. The flaws of the script and the actors and the uninspired director are hidden from view, which is a sound idea, but it inevitably results in an unsurprising film wading through various tropes and clichés. But I dare to say that cinematographic delights were never in the plans, as this film is destined to be a vehicle to boost the momentum of Ted DiBiase jr., the wrestler, not the actor.And to everyone's pleasant surprise, The Marine 2 might just achieve it with enough entertainment for all viewers to have positive memories of the film. This is great, considering how much worse it could've been with all the ingredients involved. It has decent action, I can't recall anything cringe-worthy, and it doesn't offend. Though I usually for those yearning for wrestler-films I recommend Road House, They Live, and Predator, a single viewing of The Marine 2 does get my blessing. Not much anything, but not a waste of time, either. AND it is better than "the original" The Marine.

this movie was actually worse than the first one. i gave the first one 1 star this movie deserves no stars. this is a waist of money. Ted dibiase was horrible in this. his acting was horrible and another question to the wwe. why put a wrestler thats not even close to star power in a movie like this. the plot was just boring. Ted dibiase mostly stayed in a safe camp site while his wife was held hostage. yeah he really cares about his wife. and when he did go try and save her the movie was over in 15, 20 minutes. at first i was surprised a sequel to a financially successful film was released direct to DVD. now i see why.i had high expectations for this film then i find out it is a piece of crap. don't see this movie.

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.
