Review of The Marine (2006) by Tim L — 29 Sep 2009

I borrowed this from a friend and I don't think I'm qualified to review it properly - I'm hardly the target demograph; having had little interest in WWE since the halcyon days of the Ultimate Warrior back in the early 90's. But for what it's worth, here goes:

Imagine if you will a live action version of Team America. Now take away the jokes, parody and irony. You're hopefully starting to get a glimpse of how spectacularly awful this film is. 'I'm a marine, fuck yeah, kill some foreigners, yeah, make love to my woman, huh, kill the bad guys' etc etc..

I would've given this fewer stars, but for the fact that, if you know what you're getting it is fairly fun in parts (it's cool to see the bad guy from T2 in something else for example) and fancy something akin to a sugar-rush brought on by 15 litres of sunny 'D' (other 'E' number filled products are available!) combined with 10 packets of malteasers, then this will provide at least some entertainment. Probably fun to watch with very drunk friends after one too many brewskis, but otherwise avoid like the plague.
