Tss5078 When people hear WWE films, or see that a wrestler is starring in a movie, they are automatically turned off, and I never understood why. We tend to see wrestlers as muscles heads, running around in their underwear, but the truth is that wrestling is fake. These guys are all actors who every week need to learn line and choreography, just like an actor does! When WWE films was launched in 2006, a lot of people snickered, but the truth is, we've gotten some pretty films from the company, including 12 Rounds, The Call, See No Evil, and The Marine. Much like other Action films, the plot of the Marine 2 is somewhat thin. The story features a highly decorated, U.S. Marine, on vacation with his wife, when the resort is overrun by terrorists. The Marine (Ted DiBiase Jr.), has to take it upon himself to save his wife and the other hostages, when it becomes painfully obvious that the local military isn't equipped to deal with the terrorists. DiBiase Jr., a third generation wrestler, is the star of this film, an unlike John Cena in the first film, DiBiase really seems to have some type of military training in his background. The action and fight sequences are much better in this film then they were in the first. DiBiase Jr. really seems to know what he's doing and it made the story that much more enjoyable. What DiBiase Jr. lacks in acting skills, is more than made up for with the terrific action sequences. He is also aided by some fairly big names for a film like this, including Michael Rooker of The Walking Dead and Star Wars, Temuera Morrison. The first Marine film was a debut for a studio and lacked the bite of most Action films. The second installment was much better, featuring a more experienced cast, and much better fight sequences. You may not want to see this film, because it's a WWE production, and I can respect that, but in all honesty, you'll be missing out on a more than decent Action movie.

mactypetim79 ...But, this was not a movie about a marine. I have too much respect for marines to say that the hero was anything but some "muscle-headed moron" (nods to 'Its a mad mad mad mad world').In short I saw good action, so-so gun fights and merely OK hand-to-hand fighting as long as I called to mind DiBaise wasn't a true marine. After spending some time in Karate and learning about various military martial arts, seeing ham-fisted DeBaise pretend to be a marine while running around like some bull in a china shop proved to be unforgivable. That is, until he picked up that one small Asian guy like a flag-pole and hit a table with him - that was worth a laugh and snort at least.Leaving believability outside along with his partner, storyline, this movie is fun and entertaining for a few hours. Afterward, however, I believe you will be wanting for more as I did.

BRisBR M2 is an enjoyable, action-packed, suspenseful movie with exciting scenes and vibrant cinematography (the shots of the island resort were wish-I-was-there breath-taking). It does deserve its R-rating as the violence to and from the terrorists can be brutal at times.What I liked most is Ted's acting allows you to truly sympathize with Joe (Ted Dibiase) and how he'd do anything to get his wife back. Joe (Ted) is not an over-the-top, emotional, screaming-maniac Marine hero; he keeps his cool, which is quite refreshing.I hope WWE does more of these action movies, and I look forward to seeing Ted in more of them. M2 went straight to video; yet, it was much better than some of the WWE films that came out in theaters.M2 is a good addition to your movie library. Will be watching this movie again.

gil_roy-651-946063 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.
