Review of The Marine

Before you watch this movie, you have to understand it's entertainment so if it's not as realistic as you feel it should be, the fault isn't with the movie makers. Remember they do have creative license and they use it to the fullest in this movie. With that said, I enjoyed the movie. It's kind of like the military version of "Speed". Kelly Clarkson was great. I think John Cena was great too but it would have been a little better if Cena used his wrestling persona a bit more. That's how Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got successful in movies and why he's now branching to comedies. When Cena gives wrestling promos there is usually a lot of comedy involved just like the Rock. I am giving this movie a lot of leeway, rating wise, because it is Cena's first but I believe he can get better. The bad guys were horrible...it was stupid to let them start killing each other. I think one of the things that damaged this movie was the time limit....90 minutes. Had they expanded to 120, maybe they could have worked harder on character development but I did enjoy the movie. I saw it on cable though so I didn't pay anything extra. :)
